I've actually literally seen black unemployment on national news and some politicians talk about it. The problem? EVERYBODY is fukked up right now so it becomes a line-item.
Black politics is not dead: it's local and it needs long-term thinking, not vote abstaining and bullshytting about lineage. Controlling neighborhood/city politics and focusing on community enrichment via community centers, farming, grocery co-ops, etc is how you uplift enough people over time to actually get folks who aren't thinking about food and shelter all the time and have the capacity to work toward more. Anyone kicking that waiting for superman shyt, aka "Give us something and THEN we vote," is an enemy at this point. We see what we get when we put nothing in, and politics isn't every 4 years. Pay attention to all of your voting locally! School boards and all.
