Nah, White Women ... You Cant Have This One

9. Gawd, I would love that.

I do feel grateful that the black Alabama voters delivered for Doug Jones. But in return for that, they are owed. Doug Jones and the Democratic party need to step up and acknowledge black issues like police brutality, voter disenfranchisement, and the pollution and water toxicity in poor communities AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Black people are Democrats, not because our grandfathers were - our grandfathers were Republicans. It's because we've looked at Republican policies and platforms, and they are harmful and detrimental to our fundamental well-being. We really have thought about it. We are not blind followers.

So, even though many black people are pro-life, even though many southern black people are homophobic, overall, and especially based on economics, the Democrats are more likely to propose policies that benefit us. So that's how we vote.

Now, we do NOT like being taken for granted. That's why people like me are Independent. That's how the Republicans are siphoning off one or two of us. So, it's time for that to change. Don't take the black vote for granted. Deliver on the platform, and create the America where African-Americans can thrive, live freely, safely and in good health.
