UNITED STATES – Larry Elder, a Republican presidential candidate, recently appeared on The Breakfast Club where he provided a data-driven approach to explain why he believes that systemic racism is not an issue in this country.
On August 19th, he posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, “It is simply not true that ‘systemic racism’ is a significant problem in America today. I gave @TezlynFigaro the facts on @breakfastclubam. Help me get up on the debate stage to debunk the lie of systemic racism…”
According to reports, for years, Elder, a black man, has been consistently saying that systemic racism in the 21st century is a “left-wing extremist propaganda that Democrats, liberals and other left-wingers” use to “manipulate the public, influence voters and amass political power."
This message is one of the main objectives of Elder’s presidential campaign and if he can get to the debate stage in Milwaukee, he will share this message with the entire country.
During his appearance on The Breakfast Club, the same radio program where Joe Biden made his infamous “You ain’t black” comments, claiming that a black person could only really be black if they supported Biden, Elder confronted the host, known as Charlamagne Tha God, without any hesitation.
Elder said, “And when Joe Biden insulted you by saying, ‘You ain’t really black if you don’t know whether you want to vote for me or vote for Donald Trump,’ it seems to me that should have been a wake-up call on your part. How dare this guy come in here and insult you, a black man, and tell you, ‘You gotta think a certain kinda way. I’m amazed that you weren’t mad about that.”
It is important to note that The Breakfast Club hosts nor the audience of the show share the same views as Elder. Even so, he provided data and statistics in an effort to showcase false narratives of systemic racism and the “overlooked and ignored” epidemic of fatherlessness in the country.
Back in January, on the Megyn Kelly Show, Elder, who still had not announced his presidential campaign, said, “I want to bring to the table two things. The first is the centrality of having fathers in the home that we don’t talk enough about, and the second is I think I can debunk this lie about systemic racism because I’m from the hood. My father grew up in Athens, Georgia, during the real Jim Crow South. I think I get to debunk this notion in a more passionate, and I think, credible way than maybe anybody else can.”
During some earlier stops on his presidential campaign, Elder said, “What’s happened? A Democrat named Lyndon Johnson launched what he called the war on poverty and since then we have incentivized women to marry the government and incentivized men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility."
He added, “The other side does not talk about it because they caused it and our side does not talk about it for fear of being calling systemically racist if you’re white or being called the black face of white supremacy, as the LA Times called me, if you’re black.”
Elder’s campaign has one main goal and it is to debunk the lie about systemic racism.
“Even if I’m not your guy, even if I’m not the nominee," he said, "if I can get the party and the Democrats and the media to begin talking about these kinds of things, then I would have done my job for my party, and more importantly, I would have done my job for my country.”
