Funny thing about opinion pieces like the one this woman wrote is, the talking points have gone from the need to vote, to who we need to vote for. They just keep trying to twist our arms. I've always gotten a kick out of the
"you're not voting" or "our ancestors died for you to vote
" types. The latter of which is true , however, they almost always fail to include that our ancestors also died for us to make our own choices. Well, some of us hold conservative views and choose to vote Republican or Independent. Some of us choose not to vote at all. At any rate that's up to the individual.
The irony is when it comes to arguments like this Washington Post piece, lately I'm strongly under the impression that most Black women who vote Democrat tend to be largely ignorant of the issues. They blindly vote Democrat. You ask the average Black female voter, educated or not, what her position is on issues such as immigration, the economy, the Middle East, etc., nine times out of ten they can't articulate it because they haven't given it any thought. I guarantee you Black men who vote Republican have given much more thought to their choices than the Black women who vote Democrat.
To be fair to Black female voters, most voters in general I think are ignorant and vote with their hearts and biases.
