I'm not Black and yet even I am sick of white people blaming Black people for not saving them from white voters.
After Measure 8 passed, people rushed to blame Black voters rather than older and evangelical voters or their own lack of outreach to Black, Latino, and Asian communities and their over-reliance on TV advertising over field organizing.
Mayor Pete supporters are rushing to blame his unpopularity with Black voters on homophobia rather than interrogate what things he has said and done that might be unpopular with Black voters.
No demographic supported Clinton more than Black voters yet when Clinton lost the Electoral College, people whined that Black turnout was down from Obama's election rather than blaming the white voters who went full racist on Trump, including a plurality of white women
Stop asking Black voters to save us from your racist friends and family and start working on them, not trying to shame Black people for not doing enough to save white voters from white voters.
