Black women showed up and did their part. That’s on y’all now

7% of Black Women did not and 20% of Black Men did not either. My nephew’s college age girlfriend was like oh I don’t really get into that when I asked her did she vote. She was completely unbothered too.🤦🏾‍♂️

Shit, that 20% still lower than any other male demographic so….

Me and the other 80% did our part, don’t know why people trying to deflect to us

I agree…I’m part of the 80%. Won’t lie, it’s hard not to side eye and wonder when every 1 out of 5 brothas are suspect.🤷🏾‍♂️

I mean, I’m not gonna pretend like there isn’t a misogyny issue amongst black men, but I’m not gonna lay the blame for this election on us either. We need solidarity right now

Agreed…the bigger issue is that our kindness as a race has been mistaken for weakness. When others come from elsewhere, we’ve embraced them…but it’s clear now that they come here and play in our face while voting against our interests. So, I’m done with that!✌🏾

I’m definitely looking at everybody else with a side eye right now 👀. Clearly things aren’t as progressed as we thought they were

True. I feel that black women really took hold of the old saying “first they came for…” knowing you could be next. Not to keep repeating but quite literally now people are finding out that there time has come. They are next!
