The liberal left has a grand sense of entitlement when it comes to dictating black men’s actions and even our thoughts.
Their constant expectation, freely expressed, is that black men must remain subordinate to a race-centered dogmatic worldview.
The quality of your character doesn’t matter to them: If you’re a black man who thinks for himself, you will face the wrath of a multi-racial liberal coalition hell-bent on ridiculing you into submission.
Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning running back, is just the latest man to collide with this grievance-obsessed syndicate.
On Sunday, when he chose to golf with President Trump the day before his team’s scheduled White House celebration of their championship, Barkley faced an onslaught of abuse.
While some of his teammates, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, gained acclaim for choosing not to attend the traditional White House function, Barkley caught heat for embracing an opportunity to spend one-on-one time with the president of the United States.
“Disappointing, to say the very least,” scolded former Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins.
Philadelphia sportswriter Les Bowen dripped with condescension at Barkley’s “cluelessness.”
“It’s tricky when people in sports . . . blunder into stuff they don’t fully grasp,” Bowen whitesplained on X. “Not a bad guy, but out of his depth.”
“This skin doesn’t rub off,” lamented commentator and activist Keith Boykin, who sniffed that Barkley’s golf outing was not “in the best interest of black America.”
Boykin even made a dig at Barkley’s biracial family — posting that the Eagles star “cannot escape or erase your blackness by making millions of dollars . . . marrying a white person, or even raising biracial children.”
To his credit, Barkley pushed right back, laughingly posting about the hysterical reaction to his cordial interaction with Trump.
“Lol some people are really upset cause I played golfed and flew to the White House with the PRESIDENT,” he wrote on X. “Maybe I just respect the office, not a hard concept to understand. Just golfed with Obama not too long ago . . . Now ya get out my mentions with all this politics and have amazing day.”
It was just a golf outing, not an endorsement or an expression of support for Trump.
Yet the public shaming is a tactic we’ve seen repeatedly — viewed as acceptable, even expected, specifically because of Barkley’s identity.
He is black and a man, and our demographic is only tolerated if we’re doing as we’re told.
Recall when former President Barack Obama lambasted black men during the 2024 campaign for our “lack of enthusiasm” about Kamala Harris.
The moment we dared to ask questions about the Democratic candidate’s competence, Obama transformed into a finger-wagging male feminist who implied our independent thought was a relic of misogyny.
To the left, it’s very clear there are only two types of acceptable black men: those who remain silent and do as they’re told, and those who loudly and effeminately defend a downtrodden ideology that infantilizes us.
The insults that flew at Barkley from anonymous accounts, calling him a “coon” and worse for according equal respect to Trump and Obama, must be seen as attempts to control black male behavior.
Barkley said nothing about his personal politics, but America’s leftists seem to think of themselves as hammers — and that any contrary political action made by a black man is a nail that requires their force.
Partisans cannot conceive that any individual can choose not to take a side, and partisans of the left-wing variety believe that anything a black person does must be motivated by group activism.
That’s the very definition of racism.
Barkley committed the cardinal sin of racial politics by not caring about racial politics — and for his blasphemy he must suffer the damnation inflicted upon him by our society’s most race-obsessed.
What the effeminate left doesn’t understand is that you can’t shame strong men into apologizing when they feel they did nothing wrong, and you can’t guilt them into changing their behavior to appease strangers.
Just like I respect Barkley’s decision to meet with Trump, I respect Jalen Hurts’ choice to stay home.
A difference in their political perspectives doesn’t make either man more or less black.
