Professor: Black Lives Matter part of cultural Marxist agenda being used to win election, not help black people
Black Lives Matter is not a legitimate civil-rights movement but a puppet coalition being opportunistically manipulated by the Democrat Party to win the presidency. That’s the analysis of Dr. Carol Swain, a retired political science professor who was tenured at Vanderbilt and Princeton University.
“It’s part of the cultural Marxist agenda against America,” Swain told Fox News host Mark Levin. “[Democrats] are using black people to advance a radical agenda that will be destructive to our nation, that will hurt all of us. And it’s hurting us right now.”
Swain said the Democrats and their left-wing media lapdogs have an agenda: Divide and conquer.
And that’s why they’re scapegoating the police and Confederate statues: To ignite racial resentment and stoke a race war. Swain is a member of the Black Voices for Trump advisory board and the author of the 2002 book, The New White Nationalism.
Dr. Swain said she’s living proof that “systemic racism” is a left-wing canard being used to manipulate black voters into destroying the United States and seizing control of the White House.
Swain grew up in poverty in the rural South as one of 12 children. She got married at age 16 and pregnant at 17 and eventually had three children. After her divorce, she put herself through community college and Yale Law School.
“I am an American success story,” she said.
Dr. Swain said the Democratic Party is pushing the false narrative of “systemic racism” and fomenting the lie that all black people live in fear of the police.
“This false narrative is being pushed this year because of the election,” she said. The reason why Swain knows this is because she was a Democrat until recently.
“I was a Democrat until 2009, so I always knew the Democratic Party was problematic,” Swain said. “It’s clear that this movement to tear down monuments is really to divide the country. So we’re all suffering as a result of this [left-wing] political agenda. It will not bring us closer together.”
Swain said Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and the left-wing media have an incentive to whip up racial division in order to grab power through emotional blackmail.
