I just got a new Black Job
On one of my articles yesterday several (not all, it’s apparently important to point that out even when it’s obvious) people informed me that I wasn’t helping to gain new voters to win the next election. I wasn’t aware this was my job? But, fear not, from this moment on I will direct all my energies into collecting those renegades 8% of Black women who didn’t vote for Harris then we’ll round up the 20% of Black men who didn’t so all 13% of us can help the “not all white people” win the next elections. (I really hope I’m doing this right this time.)
But before I do that, I think I’m gonna sit back and watch how “not all white people” are going to go after after the almost 70% of their kind that voted for the deranged orange. Just to get some pointers and ideas you know, in order to fulfill my own Black Job.
And as I’m sitting here waiting for “not all white people’s” wisdom on getting people to the voting booth fill me with awe and put my Black ass to shame, let me throw out some of those pesky thoughts that seem to provoke some form of allergic reaction in “not all white people”. I think we got time, for they (the not all white people) haven’t even finished the first quarter of the blame game for the last elections.
You know how rehab centers have this saying that you can’t help an addict until they themselves want help? That’s how I view right wing voters. While, “not all white people” are sitting out here trying to figure out how to gain more voters, trying to devise ways and new and better messaging (than us Black Folks) to attract “working class not all white people” analyzing what VP Harris and the campaign did “wrong” etc… etc… etc.. this pesky thought keeps running through my mind “wasting time”. (get your allergy pills ready).
See that particular segment of “not all white people” including the ones that call themselves “uncommitted” they ain’t going to change their stance until their votes hits the proverbial fan and fall on their hard heads and knock some harsh realities into their cult addled brains. (now don’t break out in hives yet, cause I got more).
Now in this never quiet brain of mine (which is why I’m writing this at 3 am), the “not all white people” on the left, keep thinking there’s something that could have brought more voters to our side. But really, nothing could have. Because it was the racism, the sexism, the dropping white birthrate (can’t help you with that one), the replacement theory that “earned their vote”. Meanwhile “not all white people” on our side, are looking for any excuse to absolve miscreant voters, as to welcome them back into the fold… (breathe my loves breathe)
Me, I can’t help but remember all those times the cult voters told “not all white people” exactly why they were voting for chump change! And I know I’m repeating myself, but it was… Racism baby! DEI! Mass Deportations! Sexism! Etc… even those who talked about Gaza and Genocide, sooner or later also let racism slip out. Do “not all white people” really think that people claiming to want to help Palestinians would vote for the man saying he was going to chase them from their lands to make resorts? (Oh oh the hives are exploding).
Isn’t it ironic that it was Jewish folks who after all would benefit from this plan, voted overwhelmingly for the Black woman? (take some Benadryl, (the wheezing is gonna start soon).
Let’s cut through the crap now, white people voted for chump because of fear and racism, fear of losing their status as the majority in this country, fear of losing power as the majority in positions of authority in this country. There is no “more voters” strolling around waiting to be convinced to vote for democrats on the basis of policies and ethics. It is a pipe dream you made up because you refuse to face the dark reality that the majority of your kind is racist to the core.
That is why after centuries of fighting for equal rights, you can look at Black folks straight in the face and tell us to be “patient” that “progress” is being made. Pray tell do we have a deadline for these equal rights we’ve been promised for centuries? Do we finally have a fucking date of completion?
One fellow experimenting with intelligence, had the unmitigated gall to tell me this “was not the right time for culture wars”, I’m not the fuck asking you to like rap songs and attend Black churches, I’m asking for equal pay and equal justice!
It’s not my job to deracisize (new word deal with it) anyone. I’m not your God, your preacher, your therapist, your friend or your mother, so if you suffer from racism work on your bigoted health as you see fit.
The only hope for “more dem voters” is for the chump voters to go through this experience (unfortunately dragging the rest of us along) to deal with the consequences of their choice and to (one can only hope) come to the conclusion that the price of racism is too high.
