A Felon and A Democrat

Description

A Felon and a Democrat: The 160-Year War on Black Americans is a polemic comparative analysis that documents the structural continuity of anti-Black racial hierarchy across U.S. political history. Specifically, I demonstrate a sustained parallel between the presidencies of Andrew Johnson and Donald Trump, arguing that both administrations functioned not as aberrations, but as instruments of a durable racial order that has survived every legal and legislative reform designed to dismantle it.

The book moves across three intersecting domains—domestic executive policy, theological complicity, and global geopolitics—to make its case. It applies the United Nations Genocide Convention to the evidentiary record concerning Black Americans, and it examines U.S. foreign policy to better understand the Israel-Palestine conflict through the lens of the global color line.
