As a Black man, I’m going tell you right now.

Stop discounting the 82% of Black men that voted for Biden.

If Democrats of all colors & genders stop trashing Black males & putting us against our own we could turn out more Black men.

Stop discounting our contributions.
By only discussing the percentage that didn’t, you’re literally spitting in the face of MILLIONS of Black men.

It’s wrong & it won’t help us motivate Black men in the future.

It’s literally the 80/20 rule in action. You’re going to discount all that we are doing for a few.
As a Black man, I’m telling you how many Black men feel when we read the things being said.

Literally the majority of Black men stepped up & the only ones being discussed are the ones who didn’t.

Wonder how people don’t feel valued? That’s how. Right there.
Don’t let them separate the power of THE BLACK VOTE as a whole.

We can do so much more if we build each other up.

We can and will shift power. TOGETHER.

Black People, Trumps plan for us is 2 pages. Biden’s is detailed. I’m voting for Biden, not because he’s some great white hope. I’m voting for him because I know Donald Trump is a joke. Just like his “Platinum Plan.”

I’m a person who believes in policy.
What people put on paper and vote on impacts our lives. Trump is playing games as usual. He’s got a 2 page plan. Biden has a detailed plan.

Celebrity influencers are cool. I respect and appreciate the elevation they help provide to conversations.
Still, we have to lean and trust those who do this work consistently for advice on the path forward.

No president is going to save us. We will save ourselves. We must demand more of all in power, Dems and Republicans, Black, white — male and female.

Killers. That’s how they should be identified. Troopers Kory York and Dakota Demoss were the other two Louisiana State Troopers who killed Ronald Greene. York and Demoss along with the now deceased Trooper Chris Hollingsworth savagely beat #RonaldGreene.
They used their tasers on him repeatedly. They beat him bloody. They drug him by his ankles in hand cuffs. They washed the blood off their hands and made horrible statements.

They kept their jobs.
These killers should be fired, charged, arrested, and convicted for the murder of Ronald Greene. This happened under the watch of Kevin Reeves the current head of state police and Gov. Edwards @LouisianaGov it’s unacceptable that this has gone on for over a year.

#BreonnaTaylor’s case is an example of need for independent investigations.

Currently American policing and prosecutors have a marriage. So Daniel Cameron or any prosecutor typically has a close relationship with law enforcement.
Then we ask them to impartially investigate the same people they work with everyday.

We ask them to investigate the very people who endorse them and help them get elected. Even the feds aren’t independent, why? The feds are still the police.
As we learn more about this travesty of an investigation let’s continue to push for policies that help us fix this at the root. Yes vote, but vote for candidates who support changing everything as we know it about the so called justice system.

Louisiana ranks dead last in the nation, why?

Republicans.

They run the state legislature. They set the budget, they control what laws pass and don’t.

If you need an example of how HORRIBLE republicans are — look at the state rankings of republican ran states.
Because of Black voters we have a democrat as governor. Yet right now in Louisiana republicans are opening a special session to strip the powers of the governor. Now I’m not a big fan of John Bel, because he caters to much to conservatives in my opinion —
but the governor should have the power to shut the state down in a state of emergency.

Republicans should be careful, because your days of power are numbered. Louisiana gets Blacker by the day and that won’t change. Eventually the chickens will come home to roost.

America can continue to lace injustice with fancy words & sympathetic speeches.

Black people have known America’s justice system to be a lair from inception.

We know injustice when we see it. We ain’t stupid.

Kentucky & this nation have denied #BreonnaTaylor justice.
You can dress it in Black skin, with a degree, & a suit. Or you can put a hood on & burn a cross. Black people know America all too well.

Any system that allowed the slavery of other humans to exist is corrupted from the start. The founders built a nation to protect them.
It must be our dedication as Black people to never relent in our pursuit of a more just America.

We didn’t pick America, they picked us.

Therefore we have a right to fight. For #BreonnaTaylor and the countless others unjustly killed by the government.

Major Trooper Christopher Hollingsworth has died after a single car crash in north Louisiana.

This trooper found out that he was being fired from state police for his actions in the death of Ronald Greene last year. Image
Some believe Hollingsworth ran his car off the road to avoid accountability.

The lawyers for Ronald Greene released the following statement: from Family Representatives Lee Merritt and Ron Haley on the death of Trooper Hollingsworth:
“Trooper Hollingsworth was one of the 7 officers under federal investigation in the brutal death of Ronald Greene. Trooper Hollingsworth’s family has the finality of knowing exactly how He died as their community mourns his loss. The family of Ronald Greene,
