The rant was so dynamic that it circulated on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/t\/ZTR9K6A7J\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TikTok<\/a>, where it quickly garnered thousands of views. According to Harvey, Walker has lived a privileged life of fame and fortune resulting from his successful football career, so he could not possibly relate to the lived experience of most black Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Such criticism from Harvey is ironic, given that Harvey himself has gained fame and fortune through a highly successful career as an entertainer. Per the comedian\u2019s own logic, his success should also render him unable to empathize with the average black person.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Harvey and Walker, to some degree, share similar paths from humble beginnings to great success. If wealth or fame automatically disqualifies blacks from being \u201cconnected\u201d\u00a0to the larger black community, then Oprah, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and countless others share the same detachment from those they claim to represent.<\/p>\n<p>Harvey\u2019s actual issue isn\u2019t with Walker\u2019s wealth; it is with Walker being an outspoken black conservative. Supposedly, Walker\u2019s conservatism means he supports policies that are harmful to \u201cour people,\u201d and by \u201cour people,\u201d Harvey means black Americans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Harvey\u2019s pointed criticism of black conservatives as embracing policies harmful to black people is questionable, at best. After all, the policies routinely championed by Democrats have verifiably hurt black Americans.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, black people receive a disproportionate amount of the country\u2019s abortions. Data gathered by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/gpr\/2008\/08\/abortion-and-women-color-bigger-picture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guttmacher Institute<\/a>, a pro-abortion NGO, confirms this; black women receive abortions at a rate five times higher than their white counterparts. How is protecting the life of the unborn, which is a conservative cornerstone, harmful to black people? Given the disproportionate number of unborn black children killed by abortion, it is really just the opposite. In 2019, nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/rtl.org\/multicultural-outreach\/black-abortion-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">40 percent<\/a> of all abortions were performed on black women and their helpless babies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since 1973, when the Supreme Court wrongly ruled that the Constitution conferred a right to abortion, more than 60 million unborn children have been lost. Of that 60 million, a third were black.<\/p>\n<p>Today, there are around 43 million black people in the United States. More than 20 million black babies \u2014 roughly half of this group \u2014 were intentionally killed before they were born. How many of these children could have gone on to do extraordinary things if given a fair shot at life?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If conservative policies pertaining to abortion prevailed, the result would be a dramatic increase in the number of black children born in this country. Would that be a bad thing?<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives also believe that traditional marriage is the bedrock of society and that it is fundamental to economic prosperity. The Democratic Party\u2019s insistence on destroying families is one of many things that has brought suffering to black America.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Harvey\u2019s actual issue isn\u2019t with Herschel Walker\u2019s wealth.
