He was offered an eight million dollar recording deal and turned it down.

Leftists in the media quickly took notice of Anthony's meteoric rise and, not surprisingly, criticized him as well as conservatives supporting his message.

Now joining in on the predictable pushback is veteran left-wing singer-songwriter Billy Bragg, who just penned a pro-union response to Anthony's tune titled "Rich Men Earning North of a Million."

Now joining in on the predictable pushback is veteran left-wing singer-songwriter Billy Bragg, who just penned a pro-union response to Anthony's tune titled "Rich Men Earning North of a Million."

Bragg's song — which uses the same melody as Anthony's tune — urges folks to "join a union, fight for better pay" and "organize today." He specifically pushes back at Anthony's dig against those who take advantage of welfare with the following lyrics: "So we ain't gonna punch down on those who need. A bit of understanding and some solidarity. That ain't right, friend. If you're struggling with your health, putting on the pounds, doctor gives you opiates to help you get around. Wouldn't it be better for folks like you and me if medicine was subsidized and health care was free?"

Bragg also sings, "We know your culture wars are there to distract while libertarian billionaires avoid paying tax. You want to talk about bathrooms while the flood waters rise. The forest is on fire and the wind burns our eyes. Something's wrong here. They want to divide us, because together we're strong. Are you gonna take action now you've sung your damn song?"

The media keeps bashing him and he now has 35 million views in two weeks. That's especially amazing considering most of those views come by word of mouth.

Mark Cuban offers black people DEI reparations for progressives' crimes

The former Dallas Mavericks owner and like-minded liberals will never admit that they concocted a "cure" for racism that does far more damage than the "racism" they pretend to be fighting.
The Democratic Party and progressive movement legitimately owe black Americans reparations, and everyone knows it.

Leftists convinced black people that the U.S. government was a proper substitute for and better caretaker than God and the truths spelled out in the Bible. Progressives bribed black women into believing that feminism, sexual liberation, and the matriarchy were superior to marriage, sexual modesty, and the patriarchy.

The consequences of progressive lies are now painfully obvious among the voting bloc most closely aligned with the Democratic Party. The black family has been destroyed. Black men have been emasculated and run out of leadership and the workplace. Black people, the lab rats of the progressive movement, have been injected with a mindset of victimhood and entitlement, a mental cancer that leads to failure.

Leftists recognize that beginning in the 1960s, they conducted a political version of the Tuskegee Experiment. They introduced a mind virus to the black community. They removed legitimate religious faith and established themselves as the god of black people, the controllers of black destiny.

"Diversity, equity, and inclusion" is the reparations they concocted to pacify their black worshippers.

You see, rather than acknowledge the catastrophic consequences of the matriarchal culture they imposed on black Americans, progressives invented a system of rewards they can hand out to their most ardent supporters. DEI allows progressives to sleep comfortably knowing the strategy they sold black people decimated black families, children, and neighborhoods in ways that slavery and segregation could not.

The average white liberal looks at the carnage these policies caused and says, "Well, at least we lowered the standards enough that a few of the people we crippled can sneak through the cracks if they obey us."

All this came to my mind as I tried to discern what led Mark Cuban to elect himself as the ultimate defender of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The former owner of the Dallas Mavericks has spent the past week debating Elon Musk and others on social media about the merits of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Cuban is getting trashed. It's rather embarrassing.

A man who rose to fame in a league that employs 80% black players is lecturing everyone else about the need to de-emphasize merit and prioritize racial, gender, and sexual "diversity" in hiring. It makes no sense.

Well, if you look a bit deeper, it does make sense.

Cuban wants to be a left-wing Donald Trump. Cuban sold his interest in the Mavericks and quit his popular TV show "Shark Tank" to clear the path for his so-far unannounced presidential bid. No one believes Joe Biden is running for re-election. So Cuban is one of a number of leftists jockeying to replace Biden as the Democrats' nominee.

Cuban is posturing as a male feminist and racial justice champion. Feminism and "racial justice" are primary core values and principles of progressives. His critics are digging into his history and exposing the hypocrisy of the public positions he's taking.

Cuban is exposing himself as a bigot. In a deleted tweet from 2020 chastising white people, Cuban claimed that George Floyd's life is the story of "almost every black man." Really? We're all drug addicts and career criminals? Wow.

Cuban and the Democrats are wrestling with the failure of the social change policies they prescribed for black people 60 years ago. That's when Lyndon Johnson started injecting black people with the "Great Society" vaccine, and feminists provided booster shots of sexual liberation and promiscuity.

For 50 years, as black people began to suffer more and more negative consequences from the progressive lab experiment, leftists got away with blaming "racist" conservatives for the bad results. That rationalization has lost its effectiveness over time. When you vote for the same party year after year for six decades but get no positive outcomes, eventually you start looking for a better explanation.
