I suspect after this election there will be less Blk Dem voters and more Blk 3rd party voters.
The Dems seem to be doing everything they can to alienate Blk Americans.

Since when did presidential candidates avoid making the policy positions public? We are in the Information Age. Speeches aren’t enough. Point me to her policies….ill wait…
To walk into a room full of Black journalists and attack someone’s “Blackness” is another level of disrespect. To anyone who needs a reminder: we can’t change the color of our skin, and we don’t want to.
I laid my father to rest today. As I drove past cotton fields and peach orchards, I was reminded that my father’s generation was the first leave the fields. Some of his cousin’s talked about how they grew up picking peaches. I am his legacy. We are

Democrats are so used to Black folks voting out of fear, they take issue with us demanding an agenda that helps our community. They better get on board…
It’s amazing how many Blk academics can’t fathom lineage/ethnicity when it comes to ADOS. They understand it for everyone else though.
Blk academia has positioned itself against true progress in exchange for speaker events and tv time.
Those degrees are useless.
Hispanic pundits are saying “we like Harris but she needs to earn our vote.”
Black pundits are saying “you dummies better vote for Harris to save democracy”

Trump interview displays a failure in Blk journalism. Not because they hosted him, but because the softball questions and half-asses rebuttals. Blk media has decided to be the fans of politicians instead of a voice of information that reflects the needs of voters.
It’s wild watching Roland Martin complain about softball questions when he does the same type of inept interviews for democrats. This shows a failure of Blk media. Roland has long represented this failure.
I’ve never heard a Latino politician use “Black and Brown” when talking to a group of Latinos.
We shouldn’t allow our politicians to use it when talking to us either.

This is a different Abrams than the one that meets with Black folks. Her message to Black folks is about our responsibility to help her. Her message to Latinos is about her resolve to helping them.

If you think Black women are THE problem in our community, get the hell away from me.
If you think Black men are THE problem in our community, get the hell away from me.
Are Africans united on the continent of Africa? Does the African continent have a unified passport? Do they call themselves Africans in their homelands, or do they identify by tribe first? Is there unity amongst the tribes within Nigeria or Ghana, etc? Hmmmm… 🤔🧐🤓
So now that Biden has openly (via

) praised increasing funding for police, where are all those people that talked about holding him accountable after he was elected???
“The Black agenda is the first, second, and third thing the Black community should be focused on. Black Americans must demand policy that ameliorates the pain caused by centuries of government policies that have targeted us.”
Notice how we haven’t seen any public pushback against Asian businesses seeking govt intervention and talking about racism. I have not heard anything about “the race-card”, or folks telling them to work harder, or talking to them about saving money to endure times like this. ijs
If Pan-Africanism is really about unity throughout the diaspora, then Africans around the world should be fighting for

The larger Black community’s refusal to look at Obama from the perspective of policy instead of respectability has made it nearly impossible to have a political dialog around our needs.
The Dems want Black America to save democracy, while Dems refuse to address our needs.
When will the Black vote be focused on outcomes for Black America?
Earn my vote.

Don’t let these white folks make you believe they want to get rid of Trump. They just don’t want the optics of advocating for an outright white supremacist. Trump is going to carry the white vote with large numbers. Save this tweet 🤷🏾♂️

It important that Dems ensure pay equity between White influencers and Black influencers.
I want to make some greens this weekend. Do you think VP Harris posted a recipe on her site?
I figure she could at least add that since there is no Black Agenda on her site. 🤷🏾♂️
People like Roland Martin try and shame Black voters into silence. He believes we should declare support for Joe and Dems without any demands. That line of thought is a detriment to Black politics, and ultimately our lives.
Reminder: Hillary Clinton didn’t get the majority of her own demographic (white women), or white men to vote for her.
Blaming Black men for her loss is a mechanism to protect Whiteness.
It’s hard to ally with people who refused to confront the political system in their country of origin. I find they come to America and consistently side with white supremacy.
VP Harris will say all of this and still maintain that she doesn’t believe anything should be done specifically for the American Descendants of Slavery. It is insidious.
Extremists in Florida approved new education standards that push a dangerous lie that enslaved people benefited from slavery.
The Biden-Harris Administration will continue to oppose efforts to distort American history and take our country backwards.
An elite university (Harvard) partnered with a political organization to smear a grassroots reparations movement. The grassroots movement debunked their lies and advocated for a retraction. The university retracts the paper. “Mainstream” Black media has not covered this story.
@rolandsmartin
How am I caping for Trump? I didn’t even mention him.
You are advocating for Black folks to give their vote away without a demand. You’re using fear to immobilize Black political advocacy. That’s foolish.
Republicans focus on suppressing the Black vote, while Democrats focus on ensuring the Black vote isn’t tied to substantive policy.
Newsflash: Both are methods of voter suppression.
@DatNigga_BFllli
I didn’t ask about her plan. I asked about “first generation homebuyers.”
Considering that “first-time homebuyers” is a fairly standard term, why the change to “first generation”?
Words matter.
Black Men: before this Nov election, they are going to try every shaming tactic possible to get you to give your vote away for free. Stand strong 💪🏾💪🏾. We are demanding policy in exchange for our vote.
