And this isn’t tokenism. This isn’t saying “they’re doing this to save us.” Or even “they’re doing this to save themselves.”

This is me watching the smartest, savviest voters in the game get in formation and wondering why people who see this dismiss it so easily.

So many brothers are so smart but have a huge hole missing in their analysis because they don’t actually respect Black women as equals. Their work and the gains from their work is just “nothing” whenever it’s time to dismiss them to the back of the room.

Michelle Obama, Stacey Abrams, Kamala Harris, Ayanna Pressley, Maxine Waters, Valerie Jarrett and more just giving away their votes for “nothing?”

So the 13% of Black men voting for Trump... that’s not voting for “nothing?”

Anyways. Just something I’ve been thinking about for years. How do people reconcile that... disrespecting Black dem voters and their work as nothing but claiming to respect and support Black women...

I don’t think both are truly possible. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2020/08/04/black-women-democratic-politics-votecast/112750634/

Whoops. I forgot one more thing... Black men did turn out and vote and support when it was Obama on the ticket. A black man.

It makes you wonder if the "nothing" here is just a black cis-het man at the front of the ticket... and then after that it went back to "getting nothing"
