And yes I am a lawyer kinda. No I didn't go to law school or pass the bar, but I also worked with some lawyers who said it's cool if I call myself one so I have an L-word pass too.

He hits you with that fake Black intellectual NPR voice, and makes Ted talk eyes at you, and then you mistake him for the real Black experts in their fields.

As I've been pointing out for years, there is a world of difference between the way that Ossoff talks about and addresses systemic racism, vs most of the democratic party. There is a valid reason that he is so popular with Black voters. Tell me that you can't see it.

As I said back here, for most of US history, the Black vote has been the most important cohort, as white voters split close to 50/50. In the previous 40 years, the Hispanic vote rose to prominence. From 2024 to 2040, the Asian vote is going to become a difference maker. ♥️👍🏿 [contains quote post or other embedded content]17 Oct 2026 22:14 +0000at://did:plc:6vwhi5d44wq5ttdhu5rrfbx3/app.bsky.feed.post/3my44hrcx322mhttps://blacksky.community/profile/mekka.mekka-tech.com/post/3my3pyuvdlk2mElection interference is supposedly a crime.🤷🏿‍♂️ But in a racist enough country, no one even pretends that there's a real possibility that anyone will face any accountability for a conspiracy to intimidate Black voters in Detroit and steal their right to democracy.

What you can see, is all of the Black students that decided to march over to vote. What you can't see, is all of the Black students that didn't walk with them.🤷🏿‍♂️ The students that would have voted had their usual polling place been open on their campus, but did not.

This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

In 2016, 50% of white men in California voted for Trump. In 2020 it was 47% for men and women. In 2024, Trump did even better in California than in 2020. Instead of going to Alberta (which is... a choice), next time could you go around our own state and find out what's going on? Thanks!

It usually starts with someone getting really mad at a statement like "Black people can't be racist!" The argument devolves and people talk past each other. Because they use different definitions of the word "racism."

Seriously. More men describe themselves as Gamers than women. 🙂🙃 And women turn out to vote more than men do. So men say "I'm a gamer! I'm a gamer!🤡" But then they forget to go and vote.🤷🏿‍♂️ [contains quote post or other embedded content]15 Oct 2026 14:32 +0000at://did:plc:6vwhi5d44wq5ttdhu5rrfbx3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxwbpg5bfk2p
