My vote in the primary between the last 4 candidates - was based solely on the fact that he was the ONLY one of the four to make a clear, concise statement about Black Americans losing our right to vote. If ONE loses it in the South - We have ALL (Black Americans) lost it.

This is a moral and survival issue for me. It's 1877 - and we know white America is absolutely vicious in Jim Crow environments. Given the framework - we have 100 years of prior behavior to look to as a prediction of current and future behavior.

Some folks are for Palestine, some are for abortion rights -


But Black Americans are Black first. The party would be wise to heed the warning. We ARE our Ancestors. If we go back - America isn't going to like how we Play the Game this round.
