A quick thought about The Democratic Party
The Democratic Party's blatant lack of regard for Black Americans & BLACK SPECIFIC ISSUES is reaching new heights. 100,000 Michigan Voters voted Uncommitted in the Primary. It's estimated that 9,000 came from Dearborn, but Governor Gretchen Wihitmer, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, & Michael Moore ALL went out of their way to avoid talking about Detroit, Flint, & Lansing. How many of those 91,000 votes came from there? Mainstream Media is trying to shift the voter apathy narrative to Gaza, but Arab Americans IN TOTAL only make up 1% of the population. Young Adults don't traditionally vote in Primaries (in large #s), so WHO is responsible for this phenomenon?
Following the Primary, Kamala Harris visited Selma, AL & walked across the Edmond Pettus Bridge. This was supposed to be a TRIBUTE to the Blackfolk that were beaten bloody 59Yrs ago (Bloody Sunday), but Kamala Harris spent her time talking (emphatically) about Gaza- It's Mother Emmanuel Church all over again. The Black Church enjoys a 501c3 Tax Exempt status, in return for NOT getting involved in Politics. In Reality, Black Churches are being used for a Democratic Agenda that addresses EVERYONE but their Black parishioners... When are We supposed to say that We're insulted by the callous disrespect on Both Sides?
Joe Biden 'Powered Up' to give what could be his last State Of The Union Address. In it, he made several overtures to Women. He makes his Case for Ukraine, Immigration Reform, & Aid to Gaza; he even tells the LGBTQ... Community that he's 'got their back' (where did We hear THAT before?). Then he glosses over the 59th Anniversary of the March on Selma's Edmond Pettus Bridge, stressing the need for Voting Rights(?!). Joe Biden is 'Old enough' to know that Selma was about Equality & The Right Of Expression. 59Yrs later, Selma, AL remains poverty stricken. The bridge in question, is still named after a KKK Leader. THIS has been the Democratic Party's Legacy w/ Black America- broken promises & blatant disrespect. I am constantly reminded of an editorial that I read in a 1898 Wilmington, NC Newspaper that stated:
"The Democratic Party never has & never will stand for the Uplift of Black People"... Action speaks louder than Words.
The DNC & their Proxies can ignore Black America's Issues if they want, but We have reached CRITICAL MASS Family! Black Political Awareness is nearly back to 1968 levels, which scares these people to death. The Streets are talking about The Black Agenda & the need for Lineage Based Reparations for American Descendants Of Chattel Slavery. Press on Young Fam! We were distracted by The Cosby Show (Scholastic Achievement) & Gangsta Rap (Ghetto Fabulousness), but y'all AREN'T falling for the Oakey Doke. I am personally proud of Our Young Lions & Lionesses speaking Truth to Power unapologetically & learning how to Do for Self.
