I think there are some key takeaways from this election regardless of the result (Biden is favored to win as I am typing this)

  • The US is founded on white supremacy, and there are real structures in place that ensure white supremacy is serving only one segment of the populace
  • White people (particularly Republican and to a lesser extent Democrats) have NO INTENTION of relinquishing their grasp of the white supremacist system that benefits them
  • Hispanics moved closer to the right on the political spectrum even despite having a President in office that has been staunchly anti-immigration. This seems to be more particular with Hispanics from TX and FL
  • Hispanics will likely be the most important voting bloc moving forward. They are projected to be 120m of the US population by 2060. In this same period, the non-Hispanic white population will drop well below 50%. Their numbers are actually dropping. This is why the white supremacist structure is fighting hard to preserve its power, unsuccessfully.
  • It should be worth observing that their is a potential for Hispanics (white or otherwise) to be absorbed into the white population. There is still a stark difference in culture however.
  • We will likely see a lot more white supremacist, anti-minority policies and rhetoric being pushed in the next 4 years. Minority groups will need to be vigilant. Don't forget the Republicans control the senate and have the majority of seats in the supreme court
  • Democrats will likely push pro-immigration policies which will be skewed towards Hispanic illegals and immigrants
  • BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO PUSH BLACK SPECIFIC POLICIES AND AGENDAS
  • There is no minority coalition. If black people don't fight for theirs, then you can expect some modernized versions of Jim Crow era laws in the future designed to further disenfranchise and marginalize black citizens
  • If you are a black, law abiding citizen, you need to tool up; no questions asked. I'm not advocating violence, but you need to be able to protect yourself in an increasingly volatile and right-wing environment. The police department is one of those white supremacist structures that I am alluding to. As much as black folk dislike the police, black people would be best served to join the police force in DROVES as a means of consolidating power. White people are OVERREPRESENTED in the police departments - even in black neighborhoods. The Race Gap in America’s Police Departments (Published 2014)
  • The same should apply to the military.
  • When I alluded to pushing black specific policies, I am not just referring to ADOS policies or reparation policies. While those should be pushed as well, it's bigger than that. There is a whole continent of black folk and black wealth that African-Americans can tap into. There should be bilateral delegations and conventions designed for mutual black empowerment in the diaspora. I know someone personally planning something like this. Black American business leaders should look towards the continent and vice versa. For anyone that thinks this is impossible, the Europeans are doing just this.
  • As a continuation of my last point, there is strength in numbers. Fractioning black populations in America simply doesn't make sense.
  • SOME BLACK CELEBRITIES AIN'T shyt AND WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A DOLLAR. If you are looking to celebrities to be spokespersons for the black community, then you need to stop now.

I agree with all your points except the military one. Not entirely though, just wanted to point out that statistically black people are actually already overrepresented in the military.
ADOS is the most patriotic group in this country and we have fought in every single war for this country but still... No respect

I agree with everything you said. Whites have no intention relinquishing their hegemonic even if it kills them in the end. And White Latinos will slowly be absorbed into the White majority.

Blacks need to get serious and become a more militant and self serving group of people end of story.

White folks stick to the code regardless they fall in line and support their guy.

Those Latinos; especially, the Cubans are no friends to Black folks.

We need to stop the infighting shyt that was meant to divide us like Black men and women having this verbal warfare about whose more oppressed. That shyt was meant to divide and conquer.

If the Senate isn't flipped Biden might be looking at Obama second term status.

The uneducated rural rednecks in fly over country play a big part in why things are the way they are in Washington DC. The Dems better figure out a way to start plucking from that populace of voters moving forward, because they are eventually going to be needed.

The main takeaways from this election is that spending all the money in the world won’t help a particular candidate win. Democrats and donors threw millions of dollars towards certain candidates in order to gain control of the Senate and in the end they still lost.

And that’s why I argue that Democrats still lost even when Biden wins. All of those plans for what they wanted to do and change if they had full control is now on pause for at least two years.

Yeah McConnell and Senate Republicans are going to sit on their azz and try to obstruct legislation until 2022 and gladly try to dump all of the problems of the United States on Biden and the Democrats in an effort to win back seats.

Youre 100% correct. Black men and black women need to stop the bullshyt right NOW and unite.
