Woke trainings happening in companies all over the country are some of the most insulting and racist things happening right now. To ascribe values like punctuality and perfectionism to "whiteness" is incredibly demeaning. Anti-racism has become the new racism.
I agree with Jason Aldean: Protecting and upholding the values that protect your community from harm and those will ill-intent is neither offensive nor derogatory: it’s necessary
Black people should not be broadly stereotyped based on the bad actions of some. Neither should an entire country.
America is not a racist nation!
The heartbeat of racism is the animosity & victimhood that your agenda pushes. You teach helplessness. We teach hopefulness.
The fact that Terry McAuliffe lost in a state that Joe Biden easily carried by 10 points shows just how much everyday Americans reject the radical CRT agenda in our schools. This twisted hyper-racialized ideology is not what I marched for during the Civil Rights movement!
Big thank you to
@DrPhil
for having me on the show discussing reparations. We have to be defined by more than just victims of oppression

Blessed to be on this earth celebrating my 87th birthday. Thank u to everyone that has supported me. This picture was taken in 1941 & reminds me that I can overcome any obstacle in life.
It’s demeaning & insulting for President Biden to stand at the pulpit of a black church in SC telling black folks that white supremacy is their biggest threat. The real challenges are black on black genocide, unemployment, health care, increases in the cost of food

Instead of demonizing and using race as a weapon, let us move beyond racial divisions and practice RADICAL GRACE, seeing my neighbor as an individual human being just like me. Our communities need stronger ties and unity to help the least among us and chart a path upward for all.
I want to praise
@SenatorTimScott
for reminding us of the promise of the American dream for upward mobility and that the REAL solutions to our problems are found in our communities, not in our government. That is REAL empowerment of the American people.
In Tulsa, a young black man raped and killed a 90 yr old white woman and beat her husband (a WWII vet). If the white husband had shot the black youth it would have been front page news. But the crime itself is not news. We are in a very dangerous place. BW on Lou Dobbs
Message! Middle class blacks who work in this DEI/race grievance industry : Government employees, corporations, universities… are making 6 figures incomes trying to make white people less racist. This scam needs to stop!!
I’m a proud black patriot who served his country in expanding the exploration of space. This is a picture of me when I was 17. Happy Memorial Day

"No more policing"?
Ok. All politicians who want to defund & eliminate the police should lead by example & start with their own security detail, personal neighborhoods, & gov't offices.
Give up your protection...
It wasn't an accident. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist.
Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence. I am done with those who condone government funded murder.
No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can't be reformed.
“Guilty” white people and angry rich entitled blacks who live in safe middle class communities vilify police. Police nullification results in less police. More black on black crime in low income communities. More black on black deaths. Bob W - Tucker Tonight
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! Spending time with my wife and grandson who flew in Costa Rica to see me. Never take life for granted, spend as much time with loved ones as you can!
After 50 years of liberal Democrats running inner cities where we have all of these inequities, race is being use a ruse, as a means of deflecting attention away from critical questions such as why are poor blacks failing in systems run by their own people. Bob W - Tucker Tonight
When are we going to confront the enemy within the black community, instead of waiting for white people to deliver us from our self destruction? I need answers!
Corporations have hired the equivalent of Secret Police to root out employees who don’t subscribe to BLM or Critical Race Theory (CRT), and stipulating that corporate partners must show they have been through race grievance training. We must push back. – Bob W on Lou Dobbs
Why is there only outrage when whites attack blacks, but we are silent when we are destroying ourselves? Why the silence from congressional black civil rights leaders?
The death of George Floyd was a terrible tragedy. Although he wasn’t perfect, his life had great value and dignity to God and he should matter to all of us. I hope his family can now find at least some peace in their grief. (1/3)
The biggest enemy that low income blacks have is not bigots. It’s those who took office and exploited their trust. Instead of taking responsibility and offering real solutions, they offer race to justify their own inaction or incompetence. Bob W. - Life, Liberty & Levin
Not bad for a high school drop out who later graduated with his Masters.
If you want the American dream for all, this is the way: resilience, personal responsibility, self determination.

@KamalaHarris
, since you want to "reimagine" the
#police
, let's start with you "reimagining" your own security detail. What does that look like for you? We'll be waiting for your model on this one...
The Civil Rights movement was about treating everyone fairly regardless of race or skin color. I marched & got arrested fighting for this idea.
The liberal anti-racism agenda on college campuses - like
@SmithCollege
- is a betrayal to our movement.
This looks like "kids in cages" to me....
Why haven't we seen the liberal elites screaming & protesting about this?

This isn’t about social justice. Low-income black America is being used to promote insurrection in the country, and anarchy - Bob W. on Lou Dobbs Tonight
Al Sharpton, the head of the NAACP, and former president Obama all defended the disgraced former president of Harvard Claudine Gay. She is not the victim of racism, but incompetence
Black progressives must stop giving their white colleagues tacit permission to excommunicate blacks from our own race. What sweet relief white progressives must feel in verbalizing their deep hatred for non-compliant blacks! They are the real white supremacists.
The loudest advocates of defunding the police don’t have to live with the consequence of their advocacy. The Los Angeles City Council president pushed for defunding the police while having a personal police escort at her home.
My latest column in

:
It's sickening for radical progressives to always try to relate to the Black community by always offering free stuff. Why do they always start with assuming we want free stuff? It's disempowering, dehumanizing, and is predicated on the assumption of helplessness.
Tell me how reparations will help solve problems like crime, violence, daycare, affordable housing, gentrification and drug abuse in low-income black communities - it won’t. - Bob W
Those who try to leverage this tragedy for their political or financial gain - like the founders of BLM & Maxine Waters - are disrespecting the families who have lost loved ones to senseless violence. Defunding the police is not the answer & it isn't what Black people want. (2/3)
Casually throwing around false accusations of racism harms the fabric of our nation & keeps us divided.
The Civil Rights movement was about treating everyone equally & fairly. That's not happening on many college campuses across America.
BLM represents the exact opposite of what helped Blacks survive discrimination decades ago: like self-determination & the centrality of the family.
BLM preaches constant victimization. They separate work from income, rights from responsibility.
WATCH:
Al Sharpton travels to protests in a private jet, Maxine Waters from her $3 million dollar home, protected by police. All to attend a BLM event whose co-founder lives in a $1.3 million mansion in an exclusive, gated mostly-white neighborhood.
Isn’t this a wonderful country?
Thank you

Black Democratic leaders make the false claim that the problems of unemployment, out-of-wedlock births, and crime are associated with this country’s legacy of slavery and discrimination. That’s another lie. Bob W. - Life, Liberty & Levin
BLM came to the mother of an 8 year old who was killed by a young black man and told her she must quiet down and not raise this issue b/c it takes BLM off message. That’s what’s happening in society today. Lies are becoming “normal”. – Bob W on Tucker Carlson
Diversity and Equity training across the country have not solved racism in our country. Personal agency, individual responsibility, and self-determination have led the way for prosperity for all Americans. That is where we must invest!
The radical left urges blacks to seek freedom from responsibility rather than freedom with responsibility. Blacks have been duped into rejecting values like self-denial, sacrifice and loyalty as bourgeoise and racist, believing only in the victimhood narrative. BW on Lou Dobbs
The focus on CRT in schools only diverts us from addressing the widespread academic failures in our education system. We should focus on helping all students pursue excellence, not divisive theories. My latest for

During the civil rights movement, we had standards of both character and behavior as to who could participate in the marches. The fact that peaceful BLM protesters refuse to challenge the anarchists among them means they are complicit in their actions. - Bob W on Lou Dobbs
Communities need non-racial solutions, not government solutions. The Left keeps pointing to government solutions yet it was the welfare programs of the 1960’s that replaced fathers and decimated the nuclear family.
It is encouraging to see many mayors flipping their position on defunding the police. Instead of scolding, we should be praising these steps taken towards safer communities for all. It is encouraging to see people's voices being heard and policies reflecting what the people want.
Racial justice is under the umbrella of injustice. What happens when most of the injustice is perpetrated by other blacks against the black community, not whites? It is looked over and real solutions that would actually help fall to the wayside.

The scrutiny school boards are receiving across the country is a result of years of hijacking education to serve progressive elites at the expense of kids and their education. CRT and woke ideology does nothing to equip students to serve, transform, or improve their communities.
Poor people are being bamboozled by these race grievance politicians. One day the sleeping giant is gonna wake up and realize who the real culprit is. It’s people who look like them who’re failing the least of God’s children to benefit themselves. Bob W - Tucker Tonight

We are going to overcome this enemy and come together. And we're trying to unite people of all races to go back and understand what unites us in America, and stand up for it. We really are in a fight for the soul of this nation. - Bob W. on Eric Metaxas Radio
As long as we can point the finger at systemic racism no one will ask why are blacks failing in systems run by their own people. All of these inequities and “systemic racism” are occuring in cities run by black people for 50 years. - Bob W. on Fox Report w/Jon Scott
BLM said it was a champion of social justice for blacks but has become a parasite. It has migrated to attacks on the nuclear family, burning of bibles, and desecration of the cross. They've also desecrated WWII memorials with images of the Hammer and Sickle. - BW on Tucker
This week,
@1776Unites
is releasing our new book: Red, White, & Black: Rescuing American History from Revisionists & Race Hustlers.
This collection of inspiring essays corrects the record about the history of Blacks in America.
Order your copy today!
The 1619 Project continues to focus on Black victimization, and it neglects the stories of Black achievement and excellence in the face of tremendous setbacks. My latest for Daily Mail:
One of the biggest LIES ever told, is that the crime in our inner city is caused by a legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. We need to stop placing blame on every thing else!
BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors has rightly resigned under controversy. These progressive activists & race hustlers have used our people for their own profit & agenda. And they push to defund the police, while living in wealthy gated communities!
WATCH:
Tonight at 8 PM eastern on Fox, my guest Bob Woodson and I take on the NY Times & its notorious 1619 project. No, America was not founded on slavery. Very important show. Please don’t miss it — watch live or DVR it — Life, Liberty & Levin! See you then!
While race hustlers continue to sell the false narrative that the destiny of Blacks is determined by what White people do, or don't do for them…The Woodson Center focuses on helping all people in being agents of our own deliverance, and we seek to impart this message to others.
Spending time & energy persuading white people to be less racist & demonizing the police will not make black communities safer! Join me tonight to talk about what will make them safer on

Dr. Khilanan's statements at Yale about shooting white people is one of the most racist, bigoted diatribes I have ever heard! I didn't march & work in the Civil Rights Movement so that privileged progressives could shame & threaten white people!

Poor blacks have suffered from the failed policies of the past 50 yrs, but now blame institutional racism, which means that we don’t have to examine those black politicians who have been running these programs, spending the bulk of $22 Trillion - Bob W on Glenn Beck Radio
Low income people are the ones who are suffering already and they will continue to suffer. That’s why we must confront this and we must de-racialize race and desegregate poverty. And that’s what Woodson Center is committed to do. Bob W - Tucker Tonight
Al Sharpton at today’s Commemorative March on Washington showed that he is a race grievance profiteer. His message offered no inspiration for how low income blacks can improve living conditions in their communities. – Bob W on The Story (Fox News)
Kendi’s institute received $43 million to make whites less racist and failed. Imagine if $1 million of this could have gone to support grassroots leaders with proven solutions, their communities would thrive. Read my column here in The Messenger:
Jason D. Hill on Tucker Tonight: "In my book, there's a whole chapter where I take Black Lives Matter to task and said: turn your signs inward to the black community. And ask yourselves, when you say "black lives matter," who is doing the killing of these black people?" (1/3)
We challenge
@KamalaHarris
to lead by example. What's YOUR model for "reimagining" police? How about starting with your own security detail? Will social workers protect you?
George Floyd's death was unjust & tragic. But so are the hundreds of violent murders in the Black community that are ignored by BLM, Maxine Waters, & the liberal elites!
They're weaponizing race for political purposes at the expense of low-income Blacks.
I’m relieved to see justice has been rendered in the Ahmaud Arbery murder. NO ONE should fear this type of vigilante violence in America!
Please join me in continuing to pray for Arbery’s family, and all parents who have lost children to senseless violence.
Low-income black Americans are a sleeping giant. One day they're gonna wake up and realize that out-of-wedlock births, violence, and drug addiction in their community have little or nothing to do w/the history of slavery, Jim Crow, or institutional racism. - BW on Eric Metaxas
Until 1965 85% of black families had a man and a woman raising children. During the Depression (1930-1940) black Americans had a higher marriage rate than any other group in the nation…That was destroyed in ’65 by the poverty programs - Bob W. on Lou Dobbs Tonight
The grandson of one of our
