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.
Honestly Doug Jones was an easy candidate to rally around. A white man born in 54, who didn't turn out to be a racist scumbag like the rest of his white peers, who respected blacks right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and prosecuted those who sought to break us.

Let us not downplay this at all. Doug Jones was born the same year that Brown vs Board was decided, but as we know desegregation didn't actually go through/get underway in places like bama and south carolina til after 65 when Lyndon Johnson started ripping federal funds away from states. "Hey you didn't turn out to be racist!" is a supremely low bar, but in a place like Alabama, it should be a fukkn badge of honor.

Stop running wishy washy white people who don't understand race relations.

Liking black people is not enough. Not being racist is not enough. Action against racists white people means everything.

So now I'm being cynical? Roy Moore's nomination depressed the white vote, and then blacks showed out over white people. You need that combination during the election. My statement is based in reality.
How many white women do you need to beat?

Because your candidate is probably going to run some version of #ImWithHer to reach out to "women" voters, which is really a misguided attempt to bring in white women.

Black women don't need an #ImWithHer campaign, because they're not confused about the difference between voting for a pedophile or proponent of civil rights, or voting between an admitted sexual assualter/housing discriminator/fear mongering racists and a woman who is a center right democrat.
