How in the fukk does someone like Rashida Tlaib, who puts other "marginalized groups" before Black folks get elected in a majority Black district?

[Voice of Reason]

The Gaza thing is a tragedy and a genocide BUT a Black district need representatives that will address unique ADOS/FBA problems such as incarceration, lack of economic mobility, and healthcare. Progressive politics are good but Tlaib seems to be more focused on immigrants and Palestine issues. Why would Black folks in Detroit elect her?

Same way black people traded way their 2020 Presidential debate for a Clyburn cookout photo op

I bet good money that the Arabs put money in her pocket.


People don't realize how problematic the money in politics really is.

A lot of Black folks probably don't vote in that district.

I bet the Black turnout is terrible.


If you go to her website she's talking about everyone except for policies specifically for Black people.

She's a democrat so for a lot of us, we think that means that will automatically be good for us even if an agenda for us is not part of the democratic agenda.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Issa fallacious and wishful thinking, but this is what we vote for...

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Black folks ain't exactly pro-Israel, so supporting Muslims is a winning strategy....but yeah, you gotta deliver at some point.....but that assumes a challenger comes along that calls her out.

Has anyone run against her and pointed out her ignoring of Black issues? You need a Black version of Tim Walz to beat a black incumbent in a black district.

You call yourself Voice Of Reason yet your gripes are secluded to a dinosaur message board. You're not on TikTok or IG or Twitter or YouTube. If you were serious about these issues you'd be more visible on bigger platforms that have a realistic reach. Showing your face on these bigger platforms with visuals of you actually engaging with the people would give you credibility.

Or is putting in real work too much for you and you just want attention on a dinosaur message board when you make these type of threads?

I don’t see your point

 

[acri1]

just vote Republican if that's how you feel, these threads every two hours are redundant

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Rashida 12th district is not majority Black. It’s parts of Suburban Detroit but it’s mostly Dearborn (which contains the highest concentration of Muslims in the country). The Palestinian struggle is by far their biggest complaint right now

Thanedar got elected again...
