1. There r lot of people that Black people vote for that we don’t like. We don’t get sidetracked when it comes to getting what we want. LBJ was a racist we got civil rights in affirmative action. We put our community over our personal ego. When are ⚪️ people going to do the same
2. You didn’t like Jimmy Carter, so you gave way to Reagan who bought you decades of community destruction a ramped up prison system, a botched response to AIDS, and a social system destroyed. Let’s not even mention Iran Contra and the origins of the Afghanistan war.
3. You didn’t like Al Gore. So instead of being decades ahead on climb change, we got a war instead. You didn’t like John Kerry so instead we got the greatest economic recession lifetime. So bad the white population gambled and voted for a black president.
4. So after he stabilized economy for you and gave you Health Care you made sure to make sure he was kept in check by Mitch McConnell. But never estimated the black and Hispanic voters will come out. But you fixed that when he started to go after voting rights.
5. You didn’t like Hillary Clinton, who would have gave you family child care and free community college. So you went with the white nationalist, who killed nearly 1M of you by botched Covid response. And a conservative court for generations who will block progressive changes.
6. Now you’re going after the Biden Harris administration. Because they didn’t fix your fuck ups over the last generations fast enough. When we say vote like BW we are telling you to vote for your community not for your personal ego not for personal conscience but for your kids
7. But many of you all are worried about liking your politicians as if they’re going to be your best friend. Instead of using them to get the policies that you want. And as long as you have that mentality Republicans who do the opposite will continue to run DC #EndRant

There isn’t any way you can be for criminal justice reform but not vote.

Thread.
1. People who dismiss the blood, bones and lives that were paid for the right to vote have no understanding why voting is important.
2. When white people blocked us from voting they not only took away our right to pick elected officials, have representation, or to decide how taxes were distributed. They took away our rights to serve on juries.

So if you guys know anything about me you know I have a son who is super bright. Like multiplying at 6 yrs old and memorizing all the counties in the world. Crazy right?
But what you prob don’t know is he’s already been kicked out of one school and out of one classroom.

2. And is kind of falling into a statistic. Where so many boys esp. Black boys fall into. Where they are seen as more rambunctious, more disobedient and have a higher diagnosis is ADHD and other neurodevelopment conditions.
3. Which is crazy because this kid isn’t bad. He does what I tell him to do. He’s super honest. Doesn’t lie. And looks out for his little sister. So I really didn’t see it. So I was start internalizing the stats thinking maybe he did have an issue.

Do y’all want to know why black people are better at seeing through political bull$hit than white people?
(*not all disclaimer here because some people are ridiculous)

1. White people* buy into narratives easily. A narrative that creates a character that replaces the actual Human. Rather it is Meghan Markle the Bully, Hillary Clinton as Evil, Obama the failure, and Kamala the cop.
2. Y’all made Disney villains out of them. Stripped them from being human, tossed their nuance to the side and boiled them down to a 2D character.

Women and minorities are constantly harassed, intimidated and bullied in our every day lives and that has bled into social media. The amount of aggression we receive just because we dare to have a different opinion is unconscionable.
Meghan Markle has triggered so many black women, because it was yet another example that no matter what education we have, success that we have had, that even being married to prince, it cannot shield us or our children from being treated as less than
This is why I have no tolerance for class reductionism. Until we deal with a colonization history, until we deal with the white patriarchy, there will be no social and economic mobility for the majority of America
