Hello All:
First of all, Kudos to all the Black voters who got up, got out, and got the job done!!!
We have so much to be proud of - and we definitely have to take time to pat each other and ourselves on the back for a job well done. We delivered the vote and backed the right candidate despite the propaganda that has been roiling around on Face Book, despite the misinformation on the news media, despite the bogus panel of candidates. We did it, and we righteously put the fear into those Repuglycon incumbents who have made it their main purpose to deprive us of everything.
But don't rest on your laurels. Don't sit back and think that it's over. We have 6 months to V-Day - which means VOTE -DAY AND VICTORY DAY AT THE SAME TIME.
We can't just take the South - we have to take the East, West, North, and Central as well as those territorial parts of the US. And the detractors are already gathering - and we all know that it ain't just the Russians. We have some of our own brothers and sisters who are inordinately cynical and acerbic. Now, I don't blame the cynicism - much has happened over the past few years to make us feel less than enthused about some of the things that have happen - starting with the hijacking of our elections between T-rump money under the table and Russian interference in our election process.
But with so much having happened, due to the egregiously aggressive actions against our voting rights by such redneck states as Texas, Georgia, Alabama, etc, we definitely have to do more than just report it or complain about it. We have to rally our own forces and make sure that we get back our rights to vote en masse - in much the same way they tried to purge us en masse. For every ONE vote expunged we should make sure we register FIVE more voters than we originally had.
How about learning how to repair the voting machines, so that if they're sabotaged we're able to repair them and not wait for their deliberately slow, bogus replacement/repair people to show up - or not all.
We have to make sure that our civil rights organizations are on top of it - storming the bastille so to speak to make sure that they have to think again if they try to expunge Black people from the polls. WE should be launching class action suits against individuals and municipalities that are purging Black voters from the polls - and re-registering - make sure you do it on camera - iphone or whatever your choice is.
On your primary days, have primary parties or after parties and invite all who vote to attend in whatever district they happen to be in. We have to make sure that our right and responsibility to vote stays in tact That also means those brothers and sisters who were incarcerated and have served their time; those teens who are turning 18, those seniors who are in nursing homes - yes, your votes still count - use them.
Also remember, this is not just about the removal of the ersatz president, T-rump, from the White house, but for getting rid of the scourge of the Repuglycons (republicans to the uninitiated) - Mitch McConnell, and those of his ilk, and expanding the majority in the House - especially in the Congressional Black Caucus.
We know that our vote is pivotal - and if anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying.

As a member of the partisan press, I reserve the right to express my choice - I have never been an objective journalist Just like the white, meanstream media has never been objective when it talks about or reports on Black people. That said, if anyone tries to tell you that Joe Biden is a bad choice - they are not your friend and are not acting in your best interest. If they try to shove Bernie Sanders down your throat, look at them square in the eye and say, "get the behind me satan." Send that message to AOC - she's good in some areas, but apparently clueless in others.
I base my statement on the fact that President Barack Obama diligently vetted Joe Biden when he selected him as his running mate - twice! Any and all information that could be revealed about him was revealed during that time. I find it interesting that there are those of us who admire Obama and wish he was back can suddenly go up against his judgment. This is a an attempt to undermine our selection. Make sure when you're confronted by this ignorance, make sure you remember this and put them in their places.
Do I need to tell you to back any and all Democrats regardless of where they're running, or what they're running for - unless it's a Black candidate looking to unseat another Black Democrat candidate - we don't need to replace, we need to expand. And our base won't if we don't run for meaningful offices in meaningful campaigns. Keep your eyes open for those brothers and sisters who aren't aware - make sure they have the info they need, and make sure they are registered and vote - we have no margins for error.
In terms of T-rump, we have to make sure the negroes who think he's doing good, or unbeatable, instead of unbearable, are kicked to the curb - like the lady who divorced her husband after she found out he voted for T-rump. We have no margin for error or leniency.
If you have teens who are turning 18 this year - give them a voter registration card along with their birthday card; but they don't get a birthday gift until they complete them. Of course, make sure you take a picture of it, and make sure it's turned in and you get a receipt for it. Leave nothing up to chance.
For the new universal identification - let's just get it done. Leave them no room for any excuse or accusation. The idea is to beat them at their own game across the board. Something which we are most famous for as Black people. Let's build up the momentum and make sure we are counted and pivotal in the upcoming general election in November.
There is absolutely no excuse - don't accept it, even from yourself.

Win!
NOW THAT YOU KNOW
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
Stay Blessed &
ECLECTICALLY BLACK
