There was a day when equal rights for black Americans was the cause célèbre of the left. But for more than a decade now, gay rights have trumped black rights. Why? There was a day when equal rights for women was the cause célèbre of the left. But in recent years, trans rights have trumped women’s rights. Why has this happened? I believe I have the answer.
But first, let me demonstrate how dramatically things have shifted in our culture by mentioning the names Crystal Dixon, Julea Ward, and Angela McCaskill. What do they have in common? Three Black Women the Left Canceled
They are all well-educated black females who lost their jobs (permanently or temporarily) or were kicked out of their university program because they differed with the gay activist agenda.
Crystal Dixon
Crystal Dixon was formerly Associate Vice President of Human Resources at the University of Toledo. When Michael S. Miller, editor in chief of the Toledo Free Press , wrote an editorial in which he likened the “gays rights struggle” to “my black friends’ struggles and my wheelchair-bound friends’ struggles,” Dixon took exception to this and penned an op-ed piece for the newspaper.
But when the rubber meets the road, the group that was championed one day will quickly be abandoned in favor of the new group championed by the always-more-radical left.
For doing this, on her own time and in her own name without malice or hatred, Dixon was fired from her job in 2008.
Julia Ward Julea Ward, a pastor’s wife, was expelled from the counseling department at Eastern Michigan University on March 12, 2009 after refusing to renounce her biblically-based beliefs about homosexuality at a meeting that can best be described as a school tribunal. Angela McCaskill Angela McCaskill was the first deaf black […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
