How many times must we be told, we have no friends?

Black people make 5% of the adult population in CA???? Is that true? It can't be.

"Likely voters."

the results from that slavery amendment is an eye opener

I get it...but the kicker is prison. A lot of people don't give a fukk how you got to prison (the system, your childhood etc...)
So they think once you're in there fukk you.
Especially in California a lot of black men behind bars for gangbanging.

If they have voted Yes on the ne gerrymandering bill, the tax dollars wouldn't be stolen from their community and it would actually look better after voting.

wait till someone gets in trump's ear about undesirable minorities in areas that could be torn down and rebuilt for the "right" citizens

Nobody has to get in trumps ear about that. You must’ve missed the last 30 years of gentrification

People think things can't get any worse until they do. This way of thinking is why the community is where it's at right now. The bigger question is how do we find a way to come up?

Yup. Show a picture of a tent.

Crazy as it may sound we were never a big portion of California’s population even at our peak. California is just a huge ass state so even numbers in the millions is just a drop in the bucket. Plus the Black out-migration rate the last couple decades has been high.

Voting doesn't change this. Community effort changes this.

Yes, they have a point, and yes they know their lives better than the token shill that finally got a group of black friends in college.

vote locally
get a group together, get a bag and throw it behind a candidate

Start there.

Both of those pictures look the same. I don’t get it.

Yup. A few thousand dollars can be enough to win someone a school board seat in your area. Start small and grow.

That's the point.

Slavery being an official law in any sense should be outlawed period. I guarantee almost all 5 million people had zero idea that the amendment is related to prison, and still didn’t vote to get rid of it. That shows you where we are as a country.
