It’s called “the privilege of individuality.”

Notice, he didn’t mind the phrase “Black people.” A halfway intelligent person knows we don’t mean every single white person. I didn’t use the word “all.”

But they’re physically incapable of restraining themselves from saying:

“not all white people”

If we absolutely positively know who’s destroying the country.

And we know they won’t stop.

And we know HOW they do it.

Why do “WE” have a crisis?

I’m not saying there is no crisis. But here’s the question:

IF the only thing that changes is WHO gets to vote.

And if white people ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS vote the same way…

And they elect people to uphold Jim Crow, mass incarceration and anti-democratic principles

And NO ONE ELSE EVER DOES…

The graph and the data are not wrong.

But without the context of history, YOU CANT UNDERSTAND the data.

What’s interesting is how white people are stuck on the GOP plantation

Year in and year out, no matter what happens white people vote Republican.

“Ain’t no way Black p voted like that”

In reality, It is MORE likely that Black voters turned out & voted like BLACK ppl would have ALWAYS turned out and voted if they had not been disenfranchised by Jim Crow, mass incarceration and voter suppression

This caused white turnout to explode in 2016

This is also why people believed the Big Lie.

In 2020, because of COVID, you could vote in advance, by mail and on Election Day. And because EVERYONE had fairly equal access to the polls, for the 1st time in history, many whites thought:

And when that post-2000 generation of Black voters went to the polls, a lot of people assumed they voted for Obama “because he was Black”

Reagan, Nixon and, yes, Bill Clinton’s post-civil rights war on drugs and investment in mass incarceration disenfranchised millions of Black people.

But felony disenfranchisement laws didn’t just remove a generation of Black ppl from the electorate FOREVER, it gave whites MORE political POWER

As the civil rights generation got older, they continued to vote. To be fair, MOST tend to vote as they get older.

But if you notice, from 1976-2000, turnout among Black 18-24 yr-olds cratered & overall Black turnout dropped dramatically. That’s why the black-white gap increased

Why?

Here’s the actual data, according to the US Census and the University of Florida’s

Most people define a “generation” or five elections

As you can see, after the passage of the Voting Rights Act, and the Civil Rights Act, Black turnout was pretty close to the national turnout rate.

Actually, I’ve explained this MANY TIMES

This generation of Black ppl vote MORE than any generation since we got the right to vote

But after the 1st Black was elected, WHITE PPL began turning out in historic numbers to vote for Trump. As this graph CLEARLY shows…

The “crisis” is white people.

How the Trump Administration Is Quietly Defunding HBCUs Despite Donald Trump's false claim that he "saved HBCUs," he is overseeing the biggest economic attack on historically Black college institutions in U.S. history.

Donald Trump claims he “saved historically Black colleges.”

According to college administrators, HBCU presidents and the actual data, Trump is overseeing the worst attack on these institutions in American history.
