why are black people, over half a century since the supposed abolition of jim crow, so vulnerable to the white supremacist predations of republicans?
why, when democrats are in office, aren’t black americans empowered to a degree that they are able to economically and materially steel themselves against a trump?
if the democrats aren’t capable of delivering tangible benefits to black people, what are we voting for? if our condition is not qualitatively improved under democratic administrations, what value is derived from voting blue?
