The fact that Deray and Billy Porter are unironically held up as significant voices democratic is apart of the
credibility gap I'm talking about. They talk about straight black males like they're pre-existing conditions.
Not all of us are criminals. Not all of us are even that religious. Not all of us have records or even bigots.
They just don't know how to talk to us.
I support gay rights personally and morally, but the dems aren't stupid. They know what they're doing when they do this and who they're NOT speaking to when they do this
and again I'm not even talking about myself here. My personal standard is very low. I know exactly what I'm getting and I see democrats working for black interests all the time, but MANY people do not and are quick to frustration and apathy and its a real and persistent and growing problem that will be exploited by those whose ultimate aim is reducing black political power and participation.
