The Grift: The Downward Spiral of Black Republicans from the Party of Lincoln to the Cult of Trump by Clay Cane, 2024.
Another book in the Trump Dystopia series and an interesting history of Black Republicanism filled with opportunist and apologist for racism. I've always been very shocked that any black person could be a conservative republican but this book certainly put it all into perspective and historical context right up to today. It all comes out in the grift and greed. Black people providing cover for explicit racism and bigotry as puppets in the trump era such as Tim Scott, Ben Carson, Herman Cain, Clarence Thomas and so many others.
This is a very powerful fascinating book and the author doesn't hold back. It is a new perspective on politics, society and the Black community. It took me a longer time than usual to read this book. I started it in February and just finished it. I did need to download the e-book a couple of times from the library.
