The content examines the long-standing resistance to Black political power and leadership in the United States, tracing it back to the country's history of slavery and the slow pace of racial progress. It highlights how this resistance has manifested in various forms, such as blocking the ascension of Black leaders to power, as experienced by Louisiana's first and only Black governor, P.B.S. Pinchback, and through violent means, as seen in the 1868 Opelousas Massacre.
The essay focuses on the current context, where the possibility of a Black woman president, either through Joe Biden stepping down or Kamala Harris being selected as the Democratic nominee, is stirring similar resistance. The author suggests that this resistance is not limited to conservatives, who often express outright disdain for proposed civil rights advancements, but is a broader societal phenomenon rooted in the country's history of racial oppression and the fear of Black political power.
