Over the weekend in Dallas, the State Freedom Caucus Network had their annual summit. You might have seen the video of the speeches Ron DeSantis and Tom Homan gave at the event Friday night in front of a sizable crowd; Homan’s especially got attention for his having said “I don’t give a shit” about the people objecting to his reversal of Joe Biden’s mass importation of unvetted Third World foreigners.

But from a Louisiana standpoint, something else was notable. Namely that state representative Beryl Amedee, the chair of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus, won an award for a signature moment in this year’s legislative session.

Remember this?

Well, the folks at the State Freedom Caucus Network did, because they gave Amedee the award for the Best Floor Speech among members of the 13 state freedom caucuses around the country this year. And there were some really good ones among the nominees, too.

For example, here’s Colton Moore, the state senator from Georgia who’s been the bane of RINO governor Brian Kemp’s existence, utterly shredding Kemp and that state’s legislature over its budget.

What’s heartwarming about this is that Amedee got recognized for doing something that desperately needed to be done, which was to speak truth to the crybullies and liars among the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus.

And we see yet another example of why it needs to be done.

The crybullies are screeching now about Liz Murrill, Louisiana’s Attorney General, over her supposed reversal of course in the Supreme Court brief in the Callais congressional redistricting case. Murrill said in her brief that Louisiana’s current congressional map which has two majority-black districts is racially gerrymandered, and that has completely set these people off.

“How many Blacks have Louisiana elected to Congress from a majority white district? The answer to that is zero,” Cleo Fields, who was the recipient of a tailor-made congressional district drawn in that new map. “Without the Voting Rights Act, people of color don’t have an opportunity to participate in the process.”

What a crock.

The reason for Murrill’s “reversal” is that the Supreme Court asked for briefs and oral arguments on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in its rehearing of the Louisiana v. Callais case which Murrill is arguing before it next month. Her previous arguments in defending the current map were on the question of whether the map violated the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment. Now she’s arguing Section 2 of the VRA, and it isn’t inconsistent for the state to assert that it would rather not have to draw its congressional map to give affirmative action for black Democrat politicians like Troy Carter and Cleo Fields when doing so – or not doing so – is going to force Liz Murrill to spend her time continuously fighting in court.

But beyond that, when has Cleo Fields ever appealed to white voters in Louisiana? What about Cleo Fields would make him attractive to white voters? The nearly half-dozen times it took him to pass the state bar exam? The $25,000 bribe he was on video taking from Edwin Edwards? The shady get-out-the-vote tactics he’s known for? The non-stop accusations of racism against anybody who stands in his way?

It turns out that white people in states not dissimilar to Louisiana will elect black candidates all the time. Winsome Sears is the current Lt. Governor in Virginia and she has a fighting chance of beating a white woman in this year’s governor’s race there. Mark Robinson was the Lt. Governor in North Carolina. Daniel Cameron was the Attorney General in Kentucky. Byron Donalds, Burgess Owens and Wesley Hunt are congressmen from Florida, Utah and Texas, respectively.

Tim Scott is a senator from South Carolina, for crying out loud.

They’re all Republicans.

Black Democrats like Cleo Fields can’t get a lot of white votes in red states like Louisiana. For two reasons which aren’t particularly related to the supposed racism which necessitates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act that Fields is depending on for his political survival.

The first reason is that it’s a red state, and Fields is as blue a politician as you can get. Ideologically, he’s a terrible fit to get elected to major office here, and he would be if his name was Sven Jorgensen. Demanding that a district be carved out for him to represent is pretty obnoxious when the real effect of that isn’t about race but ideology.

And the second reason is that when all you do is alienate white people by bitching about racism when there is 10 times more black on white crime than the reverse, especially now when the country is seething over that atrocious video of the pretty young Ukrainian refugee girl getting slaughtered by a homeless, criminally insane black predator in Charlotte last month which has now surfaced, you will get absolutely zero support from ordinary white people.

Nor should you. It’s an exact mirror of some utterly clueless white dude from the country club showing up in the hood and demanding votes from the “jungle bunnies.” They’re going to look at him like he lost his mind, and probably beat him senseless, and frankly, good for them if they do – if for no other reason than that kind of political incompetence deserves commensurate punishment.

We’re so long past the time when the rest of us should accept being forced to cringe and coddle the black community’s incompetent, feckless, crooked and intellectually irredeemable political class that it’s not even funny. The results within that community based on the policies the Legislative Black Caucus pushes should be more than enough to discredit them among their own people, much less the white voters Cleo Fields whines won’t pull a lever for him.

And if it takes a little Cajun lady from Houma to call this out and put it to shame, then so be it. It’s a great thing that Amedee got that award. Hopefully it leads to a lot more truth in the Louisiana legislature – and everywhere else.
