They hate Black women in generally. They gotta try something new to get out attention.

👏🏾

I’m not optimistic. Last night was a trial run for November. To win, he needs Black voters to showed up. The Texas Supreme Court just chin checked him an let him know it won’t happen.

Women-especially Black Women- shouldn’t keep being expected to be this graceful…

To call for unity- even when out the gate the oppo was division…

Only one person was deemed “unelectable” out the gate- even with voters saying out loud they “just didn’t think Texas would elect a Black Woman”…

Beloved, go to hell.

She can do everything you propose, and the majority of Americans (Whites and Latinos) will still find a reason to disparage her and support some white guy that comes along. If I were Kamala Harris, I wouldn’t do a thing. I’d let America deal with the consequences of the election.

I'm so so glad Michelle Obama will never run for President because then I'll never have to watch people across the political spectrum search their colons for reasons they "just can't" pull the lever for her.

That’s how elections work.

Who asked for her thoughts ? Sigh

And when Talarico loses (this is Texas), folks will still expect Crocket to work on their behalf. Folks are still asking why Kamala isn’t working. They want Black women to work, protest and fight, but not lead. It’s the classic “vote for the white guy, tell Black folks to fall in line” strategy.

We’ve been oppressed. They can try to scare somebody else. They will bash a Hakeem Jeffries for not fighting hard enough, but vote for a Talarico because he’s more “relatable”. When he loses, they’ll want Crockett to work for free.

This part.
They jam their vanilla savior into the nomination...
He'll lose...and then they'll demand she run herself ragged for them...
Nope..

Can’t do it anymore.

The crazy part is democrats will wonder why Black voters stay home in November. They want Black women to work and protest, but don’t trust us to lead. White folks will build a movement on our backs, then tell us to unify around a white candidate. Im done with free labor.

If you won’t vote for the more qualified Black woman (again) or rise in protest when a state election prevents Black votes from being counted then please, stop shouting ”Queen“ when a Black woman stands up and speaks truth to power because your disloyalty and lack of respect is embarrassing.

People want Black women’s time, labor and fearlessness, but don’t trust us to lead. This is exactly how we got here, and why I can’t be bothered. No more free labor.

I just viewed the Epstein files. A few things are clear:

1. Trump’s name is all over them.
2. The DOJ is breaking the law and denying the victims justice.
3. A single 3-hour viewing was not enough time. I will be back.

If you have questions, let me know in the comments.

And don’t get me wrong. The rush to explain the disability by many is understandable, but it doesn’t replace (and should not precede) an apology.

Society has become comfortable with dismissing the pain of some groups to excuse the behavior of others.

And you might be a racist. Black people are human. They were owed an apology. You’d rather cut and paste screenshots than acknowledge them as humans who were hurt. Apology should come before explanation.

I do not care. The insult to them takes priority. It doesn’t matter the reasoning for the racist slur.

lol. No.

I think people need to think for one second and realize that Black people are tired of people excusing racist language and conversation (yes, it’s a racist slur, regardless of the person who said it).

Why wasn’t it edited out? I don’t know a lot about this particular awards show, but we’ve seen broadcasters edit “free Palestine” and boos for politicians when it suits them. Why was this different ?

THIS. I have 2 kids with disabilities. They do and say things that are unexpected (to say the least). But Im still expected to teach them right from wrong. And they will be punished if they don’t (look at the stats for prisoners with intellectual disabilities). I’m not sure why this is different

What baffles me is the idea that someone with a disability can’t possible be racist. Of all the words to use, he chose n*gger. I didn’t see racial slurs hurled at any other group present.
