This. Remember when that "no vussy no vucking" go vote ad for some black dating app came out. Had everyone mistaking it for a DNC ad and featured black girls and gay black men celebrating voting. And people's outrage was so crazy you'd think white supremacy don't exist. Like it was the most offensive thing they ever seen in politics and every reason to not vote. We really gonna sit here and act like there wasn't a whole coalition of black men encouraging one another to not vote simply out of resentment towards black women who vote heavily Democrat and were excited to vote.

We really gonna act like Tariq Nasheed, Killer Mike, and pretty much every dude grifting off the pretend big brother, pretend political activist game was not questioning and disparaging Stacey Abrams over every damn thing while bigging up Brian KKKemp just for existing, as if the man isn't actively trying to destroy black political power in Georgia? There really was a subset of "pro-black" men who came out and retaliated against Stacey Abrams campaign simply because she was a black woman speaking to black women.

And we whined like soft little puppy dogs bigging up Kemp just out of resentment for Stacey Abrams campaign and the coalition of black women backing it. shyt was a disgrace to me. Black men on Twitter and Youtube made us all look weak, soft, desperate for attention and very willing to suck up to cacs. I'm not gonna pretend like I didn't see what I see from all these whiny pro-black dudes who shouted don't vote from the rooftops in the days leading up to election night but at the same time don't want to hear no "blame black men." Enough is enough. It's not "all black mens fault" but if there were active efforst within black male spaces online to hate on Abrams and support Kemp, that contributed to her loss. Period. And we need to stop playing silly games with politics and elections now. Black men really are a group more susceptible to political manipulation than their female counterpart. Sorry to say.

So the requirement is black men out vote black women every single time? Women overall are the biggest voting demographic in this country. Women out vote men in every racial category why is this a problem specifically for black people? As Michael Harriot posted even if EVERY SINGLE BLACK person in Georgia voted for Abrams she would have lost. Her problem is white people in Georgia and to a lesser extent Hispanics.

She runs just like many other moderate Democrats and that's why they tend to fail in the current climate.

The issue is that Democrats look at black men as servants or slaves of some sort. Instead of asking, "Why is my popularity amongst black men declining? How can I adjust my campaign to make sure they feel included and that they are getting something out of voting for me?", the rhetoric is "Black men owe us the vote and if they don't give it to us, something needs to happen to them." It is an incredibly condescending attitude and it is similar to the bully attitude that is often shown to black men.

Black men voted for Abrams at a higher rate than any other group aside from black women. Why no words for white men or women, or latino men or women? It's because black men are an easy punching bag.
