often. white ppl always vote with their interest in mind “who can i vote for that will continue to railroad people of color” “who will maintain these systems that have been killing and abusing poc for centuries”
Black ppl vote like “hmm who will loosen the noose around my neck, not totally remove it but loosen it because i can only expect and demand so much”
and therein lies the problem
we are only used for votes. they pander and talk a good game to get us to vote then forget about us come morning.

Who do you think you are? I am
MLK in tandem with Lydon Johnson and the democratic party is an example of what we done with opportunity
Affirmatative Action with Jessie and Clinton is an example of what we done with the opportunity
They not just gone give me obama with nothing of substance coming from it and thinking we just gone let it ride from there.
Your job dont just pay you once or twice and expect you to just show up off the strength..that ain't what we doing playboi

You wanna know something? The only people i ever see saying black people should be satisfied with having Obama is.....black people. Why do so many niggas have this mindset? Who said we had to just be okay with Obama? I only see black people saying that. Any white person that says we should just be happy we had Obama didn't give a fuck about us anyway. Why do so many niggas say it?

Congrats. You realized that black people have always been at a disadvantage. Your prize is......arguing with me about it all day so get comfortable muthafucka.
It's no secret that what you said is happening. Okay now what? And that's my problem. Once we understand what's happening and it's time to move forward we just start repeating what's happening. Complaining. Repeating the same talking points and narratives. Pointing out how this shit was setup for us to fail. Yea, yea, we know that already. So what's next? How are we supposed to move forward? According to you we're just supposed to sulk because shits fucked up.

Biden's entire pitch is to win the White House. Period. If you keep looking beyond that you're gonna hurt yourself. Focus on the task at hand. Stop acting like politicians are supposed to or can spell out our lives for us years in advance. They can't. Win first.

My nigga, did you just write an essay saying black people "don't know how to win", and "White people know how to win"??? Last time I checked.....White Democrats were picking Hillary in 08. She was the annoited one. Then Obama swooped in, and delivered 8 years for them. Hillary comes back in 2016 with 1 billion backing her up and lose to Donald fucking Trump. In 2018, the black vote carried Dems to the House majoirty, and yet here we are with all the non-white candidates getting hardly any support (Yang, Tulsi, Booker, Harris, Patrick, Castro), while Mayor Pete and Amy Knobhead get endless love. Warren lies on her heritage, and she's propped. Bernie, Biden, Bloomberg are all over 77 years old, and the last ones standing.
When people say it's Republican vs Republican, they pointing out the polices of the people on the ballot. Biden's record for 30+ years has been a BIG negative towards us. Lasting damage from opposing school bussing, to being THE GUY pushing prosecution towards drug USERS, to helping architect the crime bill, to cosigning the Iraq War, all led to problems we talk about daily here and elsewhere. Biden was picked as VP soley to appeal to nervous blue collar white people, that's it. He never argreed with Obama on actual policy. Biden was still defending the crime bill in 2016, think about that. What good has Biden done in his 30 years?
No one is saying don't vote in November. But our choices are straight garbage. And yes....it's Republican vs Republican. We hold all the power to sway presdiential elections, and yet still allow both parties to choose this for us. Every other group demands things, from immigration reform(latinos), or some LGBT issue(gays/Drake fans), or abortion rights(women), but we don't. Biden shouldn't be geting defacto support simply to prop up a poltical party. We should be demanding promises beforehand. Tell them, do this.....or fuck off.

“The ballot or the bullet" speech is so important and right on time for this upcoming election.
at some point we have to start putting the principles of those before us into practice. the blueprint is already there...Ya dig ?

Slow down there pal,
When I said white people know how to win that doesn't mean that they haven't taken any L's. I specifically said this is a marathon. A fight with many rounds. You're not gonna win every round or every leg of the race. You just need to win in the end. That's what they know how to do better than us. Win in the end.
Now as for this whole Republican vs Republican shit. Nigga, try to understand this. You're not voting for Joe Biden, or democrat, or a Republican, or an establishment, or an agenda. As a black person you are voting for a path. A path that can potentially allow us to prosper. Now you can give me a smart as response to this next question or you can answer it truthfully.
Which candidate gives black people a better path to prosper? Joe Biden or Donald Trump? I'll hang up and listen.

I lived right around the corner from the church where he gave this speech. All I'll say is this. This is not 1964. If niggas think a violent response is how we're going to get through this life then they are sadly mistaken. I've fought in multiple real life battles when I was in the Marine Corps. I know first hand how hard it is to get well trained, well conditioned, well disciplined Marines ready for battle. Doing that for an entire race in America is not a realistic option. Although it can sound very tempting or inevitable. That's not what we want. It won't work. It would be over before it starts.
Also the funny thing about Cory Church is that's the biggest Church in that neighborhood. It's also the largest voting spot in the city where the majority of the voters are black. That's wild ironic that you posted that. Good shit.

What "path' are we voting for? Please explain.
We hold the power to make anyone president. The point is that we're not fighting any of these "rounds". If people like Biden want our support, especially after the decades of bullshit he's done to us.....we should be demanding something in return. If a man comes into your home, causes damage to your family, your friends, your property, your reputation, do you simply support him years later without restitution? How many have their lives turned upside down due to the things Biden help spearhead? A simple "Oh I disavow that shit I did in the past, cause I need your votes today", doesn't quite cut it. We need actual promises, specific ones.
You mean Republican vs Republican, right? This pretty much goes back to our picks being garbage. I don't see us prospering with either, but would pick Biden over Trump. Still though, I would go back to how we did things during the Civil Rights era and makes demands to both, and see who comes through. I want a REAL infracstruturee bill to revitalize our communities. I want comprehensive justice reform, especially with drug laws, and those incarcirated. I want real education reform in our communties, cause our schools get the short end of the stick. We can go for days on a real agenda that both parties would be given. Cause agian, every other group does it, except us.

Not if we don't vote and that's the problem. Everything you said means nothing because niggas don't vote. If your response is that we don't have good enough people to vote for well then you have to work to get the ones we like on the ballot. You think niggas are gonna wake up next election to a candidate pool full of black people? No we're not but did you notice the candidate pool this year? Kamala, Booker, Yang, and Castro all made it on the debate stage. That's 4 non white people. That's progress. How did they make it onto the stage? Votes. Support. Niggas spend more time complaining about who's up there than doing everything in their power to put people like us up there.
Until we learn how to vote like a community shits not gonna change. That's why doing things like voting for Joe Biden in the General Election is a necessity because niggas don't know how to take care of business internally yet. We don't know how to win so we end up having to always fight at a disadvantage.

We coming off the Obama for 8 years, how is Kamala, Booker, Yang, and Castro making it on stage....progress? Note, they didn't even allow a few of them into a late debate, and then changed the rules for Bloomberg, and now changed them agian so Tulsi can't get on. How were Buttigieg or Knobhead better than the non-white candidates? Only difference was where the money was flowing. Obama changed the game by breaking ground on online donations, but remember.....some social media platforms banned political ads. That's by design. It leaves all ads to traditonal media which is controlled by the powers that be (white/jewish money).
And stop with the "we need to learn" shit. We know better than anyone how the game is played. You still haven't given any real reason to vote FOR Joe Biden. You're talking about "paths" and how we need to "learn how to win like white people", and on and on. But haven't answered what voting for Biden this fall without specific promises really bring us?
