Black people are very familiar with America. Biden’s assumption doesn’t mean we are all gonna run to Trump/Republicans. Believe it or not, most of us have experience encountering two white people who are both problematic leaders (shocking I know.)
Black folks are going to continue to exercise our agency. But our actions arent going to be based on likability or trust. Our voting practices are generally abt 2 things: access and who we *hope might could* have better policies for real people, in real communities where we live.
Black folks have been voting for problematic white people (regardless of party affiliation) for 55 years. In that regard, this election is not new.
