Harsh reality around getting black politicians elected. Time for some real talk

[Dr. Acula]

I don't think people understand how expensive it is to run for local office, let alone state or a general election.

You know who has most of the money.

This is why group economics is so important, but hey, keep crying when we are denied entry to bars or clubs, and begging other groups to take our money.

Money is Power pretty much. Its always been like this and will always be like this. Jews and gays will probably get more recognition from politicians than blacks simply because they have more economic pull than blacks. I don't blame a black person realizing this and saying, fukk participating in the system then. But I also think black folks got to realize that the true path to growing your power and influence is money money money. Nothing else matters, at least to the extent money does. As long as you're falling behind economically, you will fall behind politically and socially everytime unless a more economically powerful group takes up your cause and even then, you're still relying on the charity of that group and still don't hold power.
