So you pro police and anti science, then.
Tell that to George Floyd's family your viewpoints.

Unfortunately, black men will have to reach UP. The reason you see so many initiatives for the LBGTQ community, is because problems were eventually brought to folks attention. More people pushing things through their local, state and eventually federal government representatives, then you see more celebrities backing them and coming out the closet, etc. There has to be more push and organization through the political process...get more high profile celebrities on board, the same way the LBGTQ community did. I know initiatives exist in small pockets, but there has to more global organization.

Change is inevitable...
As you can see from TLR, most of these cats don't even understand how a bill becomes a law
They'll sit here and throw rocks at orgs like BLM but those same orgs are getting shyt like Breonnas Law done, and those same orgs are getting police departments defunded and restructured
But it's easy to get on the Coli or Twitter and bellyache about shyt you're not really contributing to, but then complain about gay people pulling up to their representatives and demanding change.
They rally around YouTube nincompoops but these people are exactly what I said they are, nincompoops, because they're doing nothing but YT videos and social media fluff for followers and funds

they don’t exist outside the TLR
I really can't underestimate how major this is.
Deray is NOT the voice of black male democrats. He's just not.
We gotta even get beyond those who want to be intersectional like Bakari Sellers or Van Jones.
We need black male democrats who project an image they will identify with.
I know they exist. Thats the problem. I've seen them. I know them.

The problem is that a lot of young Black people (like young people of all backgrounds) are politically vocal but NOT politically active. If more young/younger Black men ran for political office then things would be different. However, in the past 2 years, I have seen more young/younger Black men running for political office and that's encouraging.
Mandela Barnes, Garlin Gilchrist, Antonio Delgado, Joe Neguse, Colin Allred, etc are all younger Black men who have entered the political realm in the past 2 years. A lot of older Black Demcrats are either complacent or don't want to move the needle much. That needs to change.
However, any Black man that capes for Trump or is even strongly considering voting for Trump should be castigated from the Black community

Brandon Scott more than likely will be Mayor of Baltimore. I’m exited to see what he will do.The problem is that a lot of young Black people (like young people of all backgrounds) are politically vocal but NOT politically active.

You don’t know what you are talking about. It is a fact that the Trump administration have been targeting Black men in swing states. This is not my opinion. This is a fact. It is also a fact that younger Black people and especially younger Black men have been less than excited about Joe Biden. It might not matter because Trump is a disaster right now. Saying that Dems need to deliver for Black people is partly what all this unrest have been about. Next time you quote me please give examples or commentary on where you disagree. And saying that I’m probably not Black is the dumbest shyt I ever heard. You sound like someone who don’t know a lot about politics.

i have been thinking seriously about this lately and it pretty much leads me down a bleak path. our status as surplus labor in lucrative blue collar fields may always make us everyone's political enemy as long as capitalism dominates. there is simply no way we should be as oppressed as we are in blue states. clearly there is no consequence for democrats turning their backs on us in states like minnesota. most black folk i talk to dont even think of police oppression as a function of local politics, so our attention isnt even really focused in any meaningful way. the effort to keep us from connecting dots is very effective. the only positive i can think of is the effort to separate black women from black men cant really work that well since black women's life outcomes are still heavily impacted by that of the men they are born to or bear children with.
we have no real political solution on the table for this election season and i fear the riots and protests are losing steam. with no leadership on that front, we may end up with minimal change toward the prison industrial complex. when you see people like clyburn talking against divestment in police, you already know they know we have no political alternatives. shyt is rough, but i cant blame a centrist for doing what works for them and their donors.
still, trump is not an alternative. any breh who thinks otherwise is simply not paying attention. trump can signal that he is to the left of these democrats only as an effort to shame them for their neoliberal policies and score political points. he is still in favor of using the military and even unidentified "officers" against citizens. he is threatening to use the miltiary to overthrow "CHAZ" in seatle. there is no candidate that will actually change anything on a systemic level.
