Politics is an EXCHANGE!!!
No, it's not begging, never said it was.
However, I just think it's foolish to spread the belief that cacs are going/will be pressured to help even the racial wealth gap after they've spent hundreds of years putting us in this mess for their advantage.
Vote or no vote. What benefit is it to them in closing the wealth gap? There is none because that would essentially lessen the power (economical supremacy) they have over Black folks and others.
You gotta realize the cacs play to win for themselves. It's a competition to be #1 on top of the mountain and despite cheating their way up there, cacs aren't giving up that spot for anything, morals, and ethics be damned.
Y'all gotta stop believing that they give a shyt and come to terms with that, and only then, the better life will be.
Studies have shown that the U.S. economy loses money due to the racist policies damaging ADOS.
Cost Of Racism: U.S. Economy Lost $16 Trillion Because Of Discrimination, Bank Says
Nationwide protests have cast a spotlight on racism and inequality in the United States. Now a major bank has put a price tag on how much the economy has lost as a result of discrimination against African Americans: $16 trillion.
Since 2000, U.S. gross domestic product lost that much as a result of discriminatory practices in a range of areas, including in education and access to business loans, according to a new study by Citigroup. It's not an insignificant number: By comparison, U.S. GDP totaled $19.5 trillion last year.
And not acting to reverse discriminatory practices will continue to exact a cost. Citigroup estimates the economy would see a $5 trillion boost over the next five years if the U.S. were to tackle key areas of discrimination against African Americans.

This has nothing to do with thinking that white folks care about us or love us. This is about an exchange. You want our support than give us the policies we need.

All this scared talk. Just admit that you are scared that white folks will get mad if something is done specifically for ADOS folks.
White folks gonna be mad anyway. They are mad about having to put masks on during a fukking pandemic.
White folks being mad should never be a reason we don't demand the policies we need.
