As we approach the 2024 Presidential election, tensions are reaching a boiling point. The stakes have never been higher, and the nation feels like it's on the brink of a seismic shift. Both sides are pushing narratives that promise turmoil regardless of the victor, with talk of civil unrest becoming a real possibility. This time, it's more than just a contest between two candidates—it’s the survival of the American political establishment as we know it.
On one side is Kamala Harris, the so-called "Border Czar" and acting President, whose positions on key issues—such as immigration and the economy—seem unclear, offering little in the way of concrete solutions. On the other side is former President Donald Trump, whose often erratic rhetoric has energized his base but left many others fearing what his leadership could bring. One thing is certain: someone has to win, and whichever party loses could face an unprecedented political fallout.
Yet the wild card in all this is Foundational Black America. With 40 million Foundational Black Americans standing at a historical crossroads, their agenda is finally being heard, albeit begrudgingly, by both sides of the aisle. This could be the moment where Foundational Black America tips the scale, not only in terms of the election outcome but in reshaping the very landscape of American politics. For decades, the issues facing Black America have been ignored, sidelined, or inadequately addressed. Now, with the power to sway undecided voters and shift the momentum, Black Americans could send a message that neither party is prepared for: lose the election, and you could lose a significant share of the Black vote, potentially forever.
And even victory doesn’t ensure safety. The winning party could still face fierce backlash. The October 2024 surprise is the emergence of "guerrilla political warfare," a term used to describe a radical and potentially violent response to the political status quo. While the economy remains a central concern for most Americans, it's the deeply embedded problems that Foundational Black Americans have faced—largely ignored for 60 years—that are now boiling over. Systemic racism, unemployment, and displacement have created an undercurrent of discontent, and it’s no longer something that can be easily dismissed.
On the other side of the spectrum, there's the looming crisis of illegal immigration. Many in the opposing party continue to back policies that allow illegal immigrants to stay in America, often profiting from a system that seems to benefit them more than law-abiding citizens. Foundational Black Americans, particularly the hundreds of thousands of unemployed Black men, are feeling the impact of this firsthand. The presence of undocumented workers in the workforce has made it harder for them to find employment, deepening the divide between the promises made by both parties and the lived reality of Black Americans.
For a political party that claims to champion Black America’s needs, this contradiction is glaring. Both parties have had ticking timebombs within their platforms for years, and now those bombs are ready to explode. The illusion of support for Black America is unraveling, revealing a truth that many have suspected for years—Foundational Black America has always been an afterthought.
As Jason Black, host of The Black Authority, often states, "Now we all will be EQUALLY uncomfortable." The chickens are coming home to roost for both political parties, and it’s too late to call on Foundational Black America to save the day. The time has passed for half-measures and vague promises. In the 2024 election, Foundational Black America holds the power to deliver a knockout blow to either—or both—parties. The question now is, what comes next for a nation that has spent so long ignoring the needs of a vital part of its population?
