On Friday, I got here throughout an attention-grabbing video on Black Threads (sure, I do know) the place former Georgia state consultant Stacey Abrams was admonishing listeners to not quit and provides in to the Trump administration with out a struggle.
The poster addressed the video to “the 92%” with the query: nonetheless resting?
I don’t find out about anybody else, however my reply to that query is a powerful YES!!! And I used to be not alone. The vast majority of responses have been on the identical vibe.
Look, I get why Black politicians need Black individuals to remain engaged proper now. Trump and MAGAs are unrepentant racists and it certain would assist if Black girls might dredge up the power to even specific an curiosity in partaking the opposition.
However see, 92% of us simply don’t wish to. And it’s most likely too late to alter our minds. See, the 92% got here collectively as quickly because the exit polls have been launched.
TV pundits have been determined to offer a purpose for why Vice President Harris misplaced, the opposite ballot numbers have been proper there telling the story: white individuals overwhelmingly voted for Trump. In addition to Latino males. That’s the reply.
Contemplating who the candidate is, what does the “why” even matter to us? Like January 6, we noticed the outcomes with our personal eyes.
Ultimately, the vast majority of white voters selected to vote not just for the white man however a convicted felon whose former time period resulted in abject failure, over the certified biracial Vice President.
Take into account, this was occurring in the identical setting the place white individuals have been screaming “DEI” about each Black Democratic elected chief each different minute with out realizing that a lot of them have been the DEI candidates these days. Courtesy of that “nice substitute” principle that primarily consists of cis white girls not desirous to make infants with a lot of the cis white males that they arrive into contact with. However I digress. Let’s save these conversations for one more time.
Again to the 92%. Now perceive, that embracing this second doesn’t imply that we received’t ever vote once more, it doesn’t matter what you hear. Consider me, I’ve each intention of voting in 2026 to maintain the wonderful Jasmine Crockett in her seat. Nor does it imply that we received’t say one thing when warranted, particularly if somebody messes with our youngsters or cash. However so far as the remainder is worried, don’t ask us proper now. We aren’t . See Michele Obama.
Ninety-two p.c of Black girls voters accomplished the project in 2024. Throughout all revenue ranges, from working class to billionaire, we held the road. And it was that overwhelming swath that made all the following “egg costs” excuses fall flat. As a result of Black girls know extra about stretching working poor wages than almost some other demographic. but they voted for Harris.
In brief, no matter issues exist within the celebration aren’t ours, nor are they about us. It’s time for white individuals and others to get their minds proper.
So no, we is not going to be marching on January 18, nor watching the inauguration, nor protesting clearly unsuitable cupboard nominees like Fox Information mouthpiece Pete Hegseth, and Pam Bondi for AG.
For us, January twentieth might be a day to rejoice the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. whereas partaking in self-care by ignoring the rabble. It is going to be a day for connecting to and with one another as an alternative. Having fun with the neighborhood of all of it.
And planning our transfer to a brand new house now that Zuckerberg simply made a large number of Meta.
