A former hip-hop executive, Dom Lucre, has ignited a call for unity among black men and women in support of former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential run.
In a powerful message shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Saturday, August 26, Lucre addressed a vital issue within the Democratic Party and its relationship with the African-American community.
The Founder at CreditCadabra emphasised the importance of unity and self-reliance, touching on topics ranging from political empowerment to cultural representation.
Trump has become a rallying point for many Americans disillusioned with the political establishment since he became the first former American president to have his mugshot taken last Thursday.
This followed his arrest in Georgia, where he was booked at the Fulton County jail on state charges that he conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
Trump has maintained that the November 2020 presidential election was rigged, noting that the Left was trying to demonise everyone who raised eyebrows about the election by tagging them “conspiracy theorists”.
Plea for Unity
In his tweet, Lucre acknowledged the vocal support that Black men have shown for Donald Trump, asking a critical question: “Will Black women finally listen to the leadership of the men?”
Lucre, who is a vet, went on to assert the indispensable role that Black women have played in the Democratic Party, stating that “The Democratic Party would be NOTHING without Black women.” However, he also urged them to remember their value and not be swayed by what he referred to as “racist white Democrats.”
Challenging the Narrative
The tweet took a thought-provoking turn when Lucre asserted that Black individuals had been manipulated and separated by political forces. He highlighted historical issues, such as the welfare system contributing to the breakdown of Black families, and the promotion of music that may have influenced perceptions of family.
Lucre invoked the words of the civil rights icon Malcolm X, who had criticised white liberals, arguing that it was time to break free from the chains of divisive politics, suggesting that President Joe Biden had promised to put African Americans back in those chains.
“We are only puppets to them, even Malcom X called out the White liberal. They engineered Black woman to resent the Black man, from welfare forcing the separation of family to promoting music that convinced them to think they didn’t need one.
“It’s time for us to break those chains Joe Biden said they would put us back in,” he said.
Call for Self-Representation
The heart of Lucre’s message revolved around self-empowerment and unity among Black Americans. He urged Black men and women to come together and emphasised that they should not be divided by those who do not truly represent their culture.
“We are more than a vote and we should be more than a narrative, we shouldn’t be divided by people that never represented our culture. It’s time for us to listen to us.
“And the men are standing against the Democrats, Black women, we need your love, your care, your resilience, your tenacity, your bravery, your impact to help us win this war,” he said.
Lucre’s message closed with a call to action for Black Americans to stand together, highlighting the broader implications of their unity. He stated, “This isn’t just a Black movement; it’s an American one.” Lucre implored his followers to take action for the sake of the nation’s youth and the future of America as a whole.
“Let’s do this for kids bleeding out on the sidewalk that will get put into a song.
“For the little girls that stray away too young because of a lyric.
“Let’s do this for the future of America, together,” Lucre said.
