It's gotta stop. Just looking at the voting numbers, Black people vote one way, while the "Brown" vote is SPLIT. What's the point of this grouping? How does it benefit Black people?

There wasn't much that could be done this time around, but the Dems selling us symbolism/Black people buying into symbolism isn't getting us anywhere.
If Biden didn't make it extremely clear that our votes are taken for granted, how Obama was trotted out during Kamala's campaign should make it obvious.
Remember all the arguments about whether Kamala was Black? Look how incredibly unimportant all of that is now. Bullshit symbolism.

other presidents.
And it matters to have Black Judges, Black LEOS, etc. I mean that's big discussion I don't feel like getting into.
But I mean I don't even follow where you going with this if the point is that Brown folks weren't loyal to Dems. If you think Dems are taking Black people for granted, why would any Black people be loyal to Dems?

they questioned her Blackness and some Black folk also ran with it.
Not gonna lie, having a white husband didn’t help at all with Black folk.
When Obama popped up a lot of Black folk were hesitant until they saw Michelle. If his wife was white, he doesn’t get the same support.
Not even sure where I’m going with this now but.. are you Black?
Feel like I asked this before but don’t remember the answer.

I used to put my charter member name that I lost the password to in my sig. I ditched it because it looks like I want people to care about my charter membership. If I am somehow in violation of some wonky board guideline, just do what you are SUPPOSED to do. I can't be this important for you to keep looking for a response from me.
