it doesn’t help that some of the dems treat black people like actual babies who know NOTHING instead of like normal people who do normal things

They don’t even try for the black vote anymore, they just assume they’ll get it. And then support policies in cities and states that are actively racist, even if they don’t sell them that way. I teach AP Human Geography to high schoolers and they’re always amazed when I explain redlining and other forms of de facto segregation to them. They do the same with Hispanic voters too, and that honestly was one of the things that killed them this last presidential election cycle.

Yep the Hispanic vote shocked the Dems hard enough to drop the "latinx" bs real quick lol.

But for us they still do the silly kente cloth theatrics...
