How about you tell us what got you nikkas so aggy because people pointed out the fact that black women came out in large numbers last night?

This is not to ignore the real issue of black male voter disenfranchisement which is a real issue and needs to be seriously discussed. Black women are getting props for carrying Jones to victory, can you let them enjoy that recognition without thinking everything is a feminist conspiracy to disparage the black man.
It should be black people getting shine. Period. If you can’t understand what’s going on then you’re just fukking naive

As Cook Political Report editor Dave Wasserman noted on Twitter, turnout was particularly high in the counties with the highest black populations. In Greene County, a small, 80-percent-black area that Martin Luther King Jr. frequented in his Poor People’s Campaign, turnout reached 78 percent of 2016 turnout, an incredible mark given that special elections and midterms usually fall far short of general-election marks. Perry County, also an important mostly black site of voting-rights battles of old, turned out at 75 percent of 2016 levels. Dallas County, whose seat is the city of Selma, hit the 74 percent mark. And while the exact numbers aren’t in for all of the majority-black or heavily black counties, it appears black voters favored Jones at rates close to or above 90 percent.

Meanwhile, Moore’s support sagged in mostly white counties. The race was probably over for the former state chief justice when Cullman County, which is virtually all white and heavily supported Trump in 2016, only turned out at 56 percent of its 2016 levels. It really does seem that although many white voters weren’t convinced to vote for Jones, the allegations against Moore persuaded many of them to stay home.

Black Voters Put Doug Jones in the U.S. Senate

What Tariq Nasheed is saying on Twitter, people have been saying forever. Malcolm X talked about this and devoted paragraphs to this in the Autobiography. We are a giant bloc of votes. If black folks just get on code and black leaders do the work to organize voters and then come back to the Democrats and say, "Yo, we organized you a victory here, but you need to pay up," we'd be a lot better off.
