I've worked for the city of charleston before in SC. Let me tell you, these white folks had gotten so comfortable talking to black men who work for them, like they are idiots. I was getting city issued iPad for work and the head of IT which was a white women was talking to me in front of other niggaz like I was stupid.
Like I didn't know how to set up email on an ipad, I asked her a complex question and she deadass got irritated, like I was supposed to know my role as a black man and shut up. All the black dudes in the room started looking at the floor and all around, afraid to make eye contact.
I had just got hired and was being paid better than dudes who had been there forever but had just decided to take what's given. The black folks in the "big office" (city hall) had attitudes of not wanting to affiliate themselves with any black person that wasnt wearing a suit, less they be lumped in with the rest of the blacks by the whites.
I had a map layout of the city and you could see clearly how they would rig the counties would go to a huge neighborhood and block in two blocks to be considered outside of the district even tho they were around the corner from white folks in the district who's votes dictated what happened in that county.
And dude tryna blame a progressive movement for that loss..that's disgusting
