You’re asking the wrong question: How is it that white people do not understand that voting overwhelmingly Republican hasn’t improved their lives in decades? Republican presidents have been responsible for the last 5 recessions. The job creation under Republicans vs Democrats in the last 50 years isn’t even close. Trump has given the 1 percent the wealthiest tax cut in history. Republican-led states such as Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana rank in the bottom in every important metric. Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history and overwhelmingly supported by white voters.
But you’re coming at Black voters?
MSNow: You're willing at this point to let the Senate fall into the hands of Democrats, if that's what it takes to end data centers?
Republican Voter: My entire community is going to break rank. Everybody, all of us. We've had enough.
If you must, hate Keisha in private for now. The alternatives worship and adore the guy in Washington that you REALLY hate, and will do anything to be just like him. Trust me, you don’t want them leading local government.
In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”
The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
We may consider it unfair to ask our young black athletes to engage in politics or consider or participate in a boycott, but best believe the other side don’t feel that way.
A short list of everyone who got reparations:
- slave owners who went bankrupt after the Civil War
- Jewish survivors of the Holocaust
- Japanese survivors of US internment camps
- Native Americans through the Indian Claims Commission and multiple other legislation
- Miners for radiation exposure
- Sterilization victims
- U.S. farmers during Trump 1.0
There is no reason Black people shouldnt be compensated for centuries of slavery and decades of segregation. We’re not even out of Jim Crow.
