Is there a candidate like that who exists in america?
Bernie, Alexandria cortez

That’s great. Now does that candidate exist? Because people even swear that Obama had anti-black policies.
We have the propensity of tearing every single black candidate to shreds and maybe for good reason. I don’t think there is a candidate that will appeal or be to the liking of all black people.
So what do we do?
Because a black candidates record is inconsequential inasmuch they have crossover appeal to garner the votes to secure the nomination. They can have a sterling record on polices for black people but seeing as that we’re only 13% of the population, if they don’t appeal to others outside of our community to get the votes needed, that record means nothing.
Which is exactly why our black candidates are “selected” because someone who is cut from the same cloth as a Tariq, may get 100% of the Coli’s approval, but will not get it from the black intelligentsia or others outside our community.
We need to be more strategic in that we put our black candidates in office but hold their feet to the fire and insure that they enact policies for our benefit or move forward in correcting a less-than-stellar blemish on their record. In other words, we need to get on code, and like white people, overlook some stuff to get our people in power and then do a better job in holding them accountable to us FIRST.
We have to work with what we got and all meet each other in the middle because as it stands, the black community has too many ideological differences to EVER agree on anything.
Im not saying Kamala is the candidate. I’m personally not for a woman to be president. But some of us are entirely too ideological and that is never going to get anything done.
This is not true breh. There may not have been a Thomian identity then but mans knew he was W.I. When in Rome, you do what Romans do.Denmark Vesey was AA, your trinket ethnic groups didn't exist back then. There was no "St Thomas" identity.
What you dont understand is kamala has directly taken anti black actions as DA, now the chickens have come home to roots
As deservingly so. If you are a democratic candidate and especially if you are a black candidate, and you haven't got reparations on the agenda for African Americans then you ain't getting my vote or other conscious minded black peoples votes. Pandering bytch still hasn't spoke about reparations and what she's going to do for black Americans, but she's on social media bump tardi b. fukk her.
I love how this was ignoredSo... what's the name of the local political action committee you have organized in your district to meet with candidates and discuss what repairations look like for your community?
Either answer this, or shut the fukk up about reparations.
I'm tired of black people with all this talk and NO action. But doing nothing is easy, so that's what ya'll do. Go ahed and hashtag #DontVote and feel better.
receipts?yvette and tonetalks need to step up and take their shyt to the next level, they have had opportunites to go on mainstream networks and even spots like the breakfast club but they keep on dodging especially yvette.

i cant stand to listen to her stammering stuttering ass for longer than 3 minutesHeard my first few podcasts from Yvette 2 days ago, and I gotta say she’s made a fan out of me. Listened to Tone, as well, and I like what he’s talking about as well.
Going to put them on to a few of my college buddies this weekend when I see them.
