That economy line from a barber is some of the most evil double talk I have ever bearer witness to........he really held his nuts and made that statement......the state of some shyt needs to be examined alright........collusion, price fixing and profiteering by these barbers

Man Fox just tried to make Kamala look dumb by showing clipped videos and shyt. These are not regular black folks. Fox will never interview normal black people and anyone who believes this is a stupid motherfukker

I don't claim to be the most learned person out there, but this is something I've come to realize with age: the only reason I have a right to vote in 2024 is because of sacrifices people my granny and papa's age were making back in the day, well before I was born....even though there was a whole ass amendment to the Constitution giving my group the right to do so. Because of folks like Fannie Lou Hamer, this is the reason why I may have to only deal with the shenanigans of them unregistering me to vote each election (which I can easily remedy) versus having to deal with fukkery like poll taxes and literacy tests to exercise what is supposed to be my right as an American citizen.
Solidifying my right to vote in 2024 wasn't even something I played a part in; it was something that came completely about in my mama and daddy's generation, when they themselves were children. I look at this and realize that we really haven't had the right to vote that long, which is wild to me when I sit here and think about it.
I and everyone else on here who is black can vote because of the actions of people who lived before us. Which means...
If you have children now, please understand that the world they live in and their children as well...we are the ones shaping that future for them right now, even if we don't live to see what it fully blossoms into. If you don't have children of your own, maybe it doesn't hit the same for you. If I'm honest, maybe it wouldn't for me either if I didn't have my own children or my nieces and nephews. These are children I love and care about, and they have no legal right to vote. The world they will live in will be the one my generation leaves, just like I'm living on what my grandparents and parents managed to make happen (or not). They are literally dependent on the adults around them to be as politically responsible today so that they can have a future once they are adults, too.
All that said, I seriously cannot believe there are still black Americans still undecided about this shyt at this point - and I'm saying this as a someone who is not particularly crazy about Mrs. Harris. I've always understood though, it isn't even about me liking her - it's about me understanding the havoc a second Trump administration can foster if they get a second shot. All those quotes from the barbershop folks in the OP sounds short-sighted as hell. Lauding Trump as a choice because the economy was better under him, because it was easier to grocery shop, and a bunch of other shyt that only concerns the individual now versus looking ahead is showing how many lean into their emotions to gauge who will get their votes. It needs to be about what we can gain now, yes, but it can't just be about that.
Is there a black person on here who supports a second Trump administration who would be willing to explain it to me - what is your thought process? I ask in earnest because I do not know of any in real life (not any who openly admit they will be voting for it), and I really do want to understand. I'm genuinely curious as to what you are hoping to gain or how you think it will benefit not just your economic ventures but the world you hope to live in. How do you think a Trump administration today will set up your life, your family/friends and your community to flourish within the next ten years?
Again, I'm not perfect by a long shot. I'll say this though. As someone who is truly tired of the 2-party system we've somehow been forced into now in the US, I'm learning that if we really want to open that up to a third party - a VIABLE one and not just someone to throw a protest vote at - then it is going to require doing a whole lot of other stuff outside of election season. The point is, if we truly want to see a change, then it is going to require real effort on our part to make it happen.

Can they be arrested and fired? We never saw that pre obama. Now they actually have to lawyer up when they go overboard. Does it need to be inproved? Sure. Is Trump going to improve it? Absolutely not
