So much so that we have created this incredible voting base that revivals every other minority group in the country. If we say we have an issue with anything, then we're told to get out and vote to change it. It's the most common feedback, even from our own. They are growing population with tons of economic support from within.ĭue to our link to American history and our role in this country's laws and policies, Black people have been told our only salvation is to become more and more politically involved.

Republicans would be working to suppress the votes of their voters, instead of black voters.Īgain elections are not about loyalty to a party, nor to a politician. If you could gain power by sitting at home. The rest of us understand how the system works. There is nothing "astute" politically or otherwise about that.
