Raynard Jackson: ‘Black Conservatives Are Not Here To Entertain You’
2 min readRaynard Jackson, the chairman of Black Americans for a Better Future, appeared with Pete Santilli this week to talk about his political background and his ideas about Republicans engaging with Black Conservatives. And he made some controversial comments that he feels are critical to help save the Republic- from his point of view from within the Black community.
What do Black American conservatives want?
What Jackson has to say is a little different from what most people see as voter engagement with Black Americans, yet he has a long track record from behind the scenes as a proven leader on the topic.
Now it is time for us to meet him and hear what he has to say that could help us expand our America First MAGA movement.
Watch:
Raynard Jackson talked to Santill about his background as a political strategist and about what he sees as a hindrance to his work:
“An issue is that conservatives are notorious for pulling any Black, they can find to rehearse their message and expound on this conservative message, and they choose the wrong messenger,” Jackson said.
“Yeah,” Santilli said.
“You remember the movie Goodfellas with Joe Pesci? That part when he says- you think I am funny? Funny how? Do you remember that part? And so I spent a lot of time down in Palm Beach, and on many occasions, I’ve talked with several donors and influential conservatives, and I say, well, Candace, Owens and Diamond and Silk have no connection to the black community. They are anathema, and if your goal is to move the needle forward with the Black community and the Conservative movement, you need to find the proper messenger. Their response to me is- But -I like them, I think they’re funny.
I said that’s exactly your problem. You still think Blacks are here to entertain you, and we’re not.
We’re here to be treated as equal Partners. Yes, we are trying to move the movement to go forward together, but you all want us to entertain you, and those days are over,” he said.
“I am not Sammy Davis Jr,” Jackson said, driving his point home.
And the conversation went on from there…
Here is the full program from that day:
