Black men split on Los Angeles mayor's race

[FishNGrits]

But but...they only talk about black women! Wah wah what about us men!???!!!?

It's like y'all are just EAGER....and I mean EAGER to be on the wrong side of history. Any politician who is sensitive to the needs and the rights of other people besides "straight black men" are now our sworn nemesis who we should not vote for. But any insensitive bigot who promises white power tax cuts, tough on crime policies, and especially anti-immigration is automatically a hero we should either passively or actively support.

And notice the bigot is held to NONE of the standards these idiots push against other black people. A black politician doesn't get our vote if it ain't reparations. If we don't get what we want we supporting this yee haw conservative whos promising to dismantle "entitlements." A black politician doesn't get our vote if they have a non-black spouse and mixed kids. So we gonna support a whole entire white family to win.

Yeah the Blexit brainwashing is working, at least on some sub-corner of brain dead dudes that want attention, bad. Y'all are no better than the broke cacs y'all mock for voting against their own interest just to spite black people. Here y'all are ready to shoot yourselves in the foot to spite...black women?

I'm done. TLR is an absolute joke.

That’s what I’m saying


They trusting some hard on crime cac over a black women who gotta earn these nikkas votes or they just default to the cac. I’m voting black off rip before I trust some conservative white man.

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but this really goes back to keeping BM and BW divided.
Any real assistance y’all get from this system will only lead to stronger Black men, which will lead to a stronger Black community that can insulate itself and pushback against injustices and systemic issues.

I don’t want to say that we should give up and expect nothing, but that’s why they are dancing around the real issue. It’s a form of gaslighting. BM are a demographic like any other; obviously if they are losing your vote they should address your needs- but they aren’t. We truthfully know why.

The issue is, if votes are withheld and Republicans gain power, they are going to enact things that harm all of us.
But if they want to win badly enough, they should understand they need to appeal to you to earn your votes.

I’d never advocate sitting out the voting process, but I also know it feels pointless if you aren’t seeing any improvements being implemented by those you voted for.

This is going to get…interesting.

Most men are practical. Make decisions based on logic rather than emotion.
Like I wrote earlier, if you have a family, plan to start one, or have future plans to do something with your life, sitting out elections...voting to spite parties, etc just doesn't add up. To me.

Coli dem shills think its revolutionary to vote for black people who mate with white people

How the fukk is that any better

Ain’t revolutionary, it’s like how y’all think you made it out the black hive mind by voting for conservative white boys that casually throw the word nikka at the dinner table.

Caruso is a former member of the Republican Party, Caruso changed his affiliation to the Democratic Party when he became a candidate in the 2022 Los Angeles mayoral election

Once again

Everybody including black women want black men not to think for ourselves and we should follow them and their agenda

Black men are just tired and our demands are not being heard , so many are just either not voting or going the other way at this point until someone will actually take us serious

Tell me what are these "demands" you feel are not "being heard" so I can show you her voting record and prove you're an idiot.

Vote Republican and get it over with breh.

 

[SupaDupaFresh]

People mad that they can’t get can’t get nikkas to play Stepin Fetchit anymore.

Ain’t nothing new under the son. We been had all these same “characters” since slavery. They can’t get the talented tenth bourgeois house nikka (Obama) to get us in line so they trying the ol finger wagging condescending black mammy (Karen Bass, Simone Sanders, Stacy Abrams, etc) to do it.

Contrary to what SOME people in this thread would say, we are free now. We don’t have to do what any cracker OR nikka tells us to do anymore, even if the reason is we don’t feel like it. And that frustrates the hell out of certain demographics that just can’t accept that that is the reality of the situation.

I'm glad you feel empowered handing over your political power to those same "crackers" and doing absolutely nothing to advance a damn thing you armchair militant.

Another issue

NO ONE STARTING WITH THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT WANTS TO LISTEN TO THE BLACK MAN

perfect example

ice cube goes out get dr Claud Anderson and other intelligent black men to come up with a plan for black america and wanted to present it to both sides, even though I think the trump side just wanted to play around with the idea they actually listen to cube proposal…. However Biden and Harris told cube “ oh oh wait until after the election “ so after the election cube said Kamala wanted him to be on a group discussion with DL HUGHLEY, KILLER MIKE, STEVE HARVEY AND LIKE 11 other nikkas and Cube said no, he wanted to discuss it with her and Biden because it’s his plan with the black people he wrote the plan with and DL and them others had no involvement so they shouldn’t discuss it

He never got a call back

However you have Kamala going on the breakfast club with Charlemagne and fukking Biden talking for a hour with Cardi B and u have Maxine Waters sitting down with Megan thee stallion

This here tells u all u need to know, is that real issues especially coming from a black man isn’t valued no more especially on the left , who’s more concerned on focusing only on black women

 

[Max Power]

Predictably this thread descends into the usual suspects shaming, scolding and scaring.

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

It's sad because that's literally how they want to portray it. It doesn't matter what black men do, they get no credit for anything. If you just followed the media you would think the black community was just a bunch of women making everything happen while black men do absolutely nothing. They really gonna be mad when black men stop giving a fukk and don't vote at all and democrats realize how much they need the black male vote.

Educated black men will always vote.

This can't be a real post.
During the campaign, during the transition, and after the inauguration...there were AA men in key decision making roles. And nominated and confirmed for Cabinet positions.

Ice Cube is who you bring up in this conversation?

Correct, if a politician isn’t going to do anything for me I’m not going to vote for them.

I’d rather the country collapse than Black men continue to be put last in the pecking order.

Okay nikka so vote Republican or don't vote and let Republicans take over your government if you think that will serve or advance your interests, tough guy.

Yeah, I do vote for my interests. I do vote based off which candidate offers something for black men. It's in my interest to participate in elections and pursue a government that protects people's rights and is inclusive of all races, religions, cultures, languages and backgrounds. It is against my interest to vote--actively or passively--for a government that is exclusive to the wealthy and to the very status quo y'all clearly dont feel as uncomfortable with as you claim. All because I'm insecure enought believe that promoting women's rights is part of some zero sum game against men.

Karen Bass has a history in Congress of championing police reform, decriminalization of marijuana, criminalizing hate crimes against black people--often named after black men. This includes authoring the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, and the Emmett Till anti-lynching act. She has a proven record of addressing and defending black men and issues effecting black men.

Just the typical TLRepublicans telling people not to vote and misinforme sheep "thinking for themselves" but dont know shyt about politics for themselves taking the bait and handing over their power to vote to cacs in aimless protest over women's rights and interracial marriages.

Yall nikkas sad and lost.

you and I both know you just listed off a short list of BS that was supposedly helpful to black men, that’s why you wrapped it in more sassyness.

Talkin about some damn anti lynching act and marijuana.

Do you have children? If so, then your comment here is bluffing.

No I don’t, and no I’m not.

If we can’t get something then no one gets nothing.

These democrats can think we playing

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

As a black man with a black business in LA that employs multiple black people based in South central LA, im voting Caruso! Any c00n voting for the c00n bedwench needs to go play in traffic.

Pathetic people still need to be educated why the Dems are terrible for black people in LA. Black people need to stop voting like idiots every election.
