I didn't care for Bernie, how he refused to address the racist tendencies of his supporters or how we thought the issues black folk face in this country were related to wealth and economics only but, had he won the primary, I would have voted for him.
It's like 99% of our celebrity, evangelical, and political class are sellouts who carry water for the Dems.
Jay Z is hosting an event in the coming weeks and it's a who's who of "blue checks " who have all done questionable actions at one time or another.
Smh
I don't hate Black women but I do hate democrats.
Shut up you fat loser. Like we forgot your gay ass was on here claiming to be in med school Halo.

You don’t have to like me but you can’t deny my stance.
ON DAY ONE, RICK WILL:
She has a whole page dedicated to solving it.
- Declare a State of Emergency. Declare a State of Emergency that won’t end until we Clean Up LA. Rick will activate the Emergency Management Department to immediately begin work on activating emergency powers, funds, and plans.
- Demand State and Federal Response. Demand assistance from the Governor, State Legislature, and Federal government in providing emergency funding, shelters, and case workers to help our veterans and others who need assistance with mental health or addiction treatment.
- Stop the City Council from Standing in the Way. Prevent the City Council from micromanaging decisions relating to shelter or housing siting, funding, or other decisions that prevent people from getting shelter.
- Elevate a Citywide Homelessness Coordinator. Immediately, through Executive Order, create a Department of Homeless Housing and appoint a Citywide Homelessness Coordinator to manage all City efforts, including those of the Police and Fire Departments, Emergency Management Department, Housing Department, Sanitation Department, and other agencies to immediately begin focusing all efforts on Cleaning Up LA and getting people housed, fed, into treatment, and off our streets.

I'm curious,why Los Angeles has so many homeless people.
Lost Angeles: Understanding LA's out-of-control homeless issue
Homelessness in Los Angeles is a complex issue, that goes back nearly 150 years. To stop the inflow of homelessness, it’s critical to understand the policies that created it, so we can reform and fix the systems driving homelessness.
Historical black women in cooperation with black men are the backbone of the family & the community. I say this as a father who has successfully raised kids to adulthood with a black woman.
We as Black men can't allow ourselves to be manipulated into beefing with our chief partner & ally, the black woman.
The Dixiecrats do need to be checked, but the Repugnants need to be checkmated.
My whole family voted for Karen Bass, it was a no brainer. Fuck snoop & all the rest of the sellouts who supported yet another wealthy 1% CAC to run for office. Da fuck?
Karen Bass started the Community Coalition which has done great organizing & institution building in South LA. They progressive black & brown people working together for the community. We not fooled by Caruso's well-funded slander campaign.
Karen Bass is the real deal they didn't want to be VP (Dems or repub). Look her up & CoCo (community coalition) for yourself, don't go by deceptive campaign ads.
LA being gentrified, the Caruso camp trying to get the white vote with the "clean up" the city code talk. Most chicano/Latinos here know the deal, this ain't Miami. Caruso got no chance if we handle business.
We got to show real love toward each other rather than acting brokenhearted in a house divided (crab barrel). We got to make a future for ourselves and not wait on politicians & political parties. Party politics & Voting, while critical, are not the ultimate solution. voting is not enough. We have to really get engaged with each other and work to solve our problems and build the families, communities, & nation we Invision. We got to establish common ground & build together & with allies.

It's not odd. There's only two parties. That's it. If you start feeling neglected and disappointed in one you're probably going to start listening to what the other has to say.
And what, exactly, are they saying?
I think a lot of black Americans have become disillusioned with the Dems and are picking and choosing parts of the GOP platform that they rock with and going from there. Bush was able to grab 11% in '04 just by appealing to church going blacks. I'm NOT saying blacks should vote Republican. But I do see how some of their stances appeal to a certain segment of our community.
example??
But you absolutely know that one option is pure crap. Why even consider it?
And that's my point! This shyt is a game! White celebrities play the game. White churches play the game. White politicians play the game. But we don't, ours has the; "Republicans buy shoes too..." mentality. So if there is a game to be played and the black counterparts don't play the game the same way, why aren't we putting this same pressure on them? Muhamad Ali, Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier all put it on the line. NOBODY does that now! Look I am not looking to tell grown ass people what to do with their money, we have GOT to play this game, sitting around with a thumb up our collective asses trying these division tactics, not voting and infighting aren't gonna cut it.
Homophobia, guns and Christianity I think all appeal to a lot of black Americans.
Damn Jack del Rio is a fucking idiot, good for the Commanders. They deserve his simple ass.
Karan Bass is not establishment and the expectation is at least "do no harm".
Shit is simple, vote for best candidate for your interest at election time. All other times, organize & work to gain justice & power. Which should resulting in better candidates.
Repugnants don't want you to vote at all and do all kinds of shyt to deny you the vote. Sadly/unbelievably/hilariously you go a step farther and argue to vote for them to spite Dixiecrats. You playing yourself.
There is a power struggle in the democratic party b/w the Clintonites (Dixiecrats = repugnants in democratic drag) and the progressives democracy's. Karen Bass not a Dixiecrat. She understands & is fighting our beef within the Democrats. There is no progressive wing of the Republican party, Ice cube found this out, his heart was in the right place, he been silent since. Now he being equated with opportunitist like snoop.
The LA Times writer is generating views for her article by bringing up rich black celebrity influencers. If she wasn't a journalist, we say she attention whoring.
She could have just said black men are being neglected & marginalized by the democratic party and there is growing discontent, which may effect mayoral election.
The well being of black men is not an issue in the Republican party. Democrats dissed Ice Cube platform & he went to the Repugnants thinking they would be kinder & gentler. Nope. Tough lesson to learn... yet again, that the way forward is not exclusively through party politics.
This is chess, not checkers, no halos, no feelings. hurt feelings cloud your perspective, don't get mad, get even. Don't cut your nose to spite your face.
p.s. I'm not a Republican nor democrat & got sense enough to know it.

How about "Rebloodicans" then?
Its the weather, the wealth inequality, the unaffordable cost of living, new Jim crow incarceration aftermath & other Reagan era policies, surrounding cities, counties & hospitals funneling people with mental issues to LA county/city.
This 40 year homelessness trend is the aftermath of Reaganomics & the Republican revolution. Homelessness was the canary in the coal mine, now it's out of control & the state of this society is a reflection of ignoring the warning signs. Still people hold on to the beliefs that have reduced America to trumpland:
* Capitalism over democracy
* Business can run society better than private sector
* Social Welfare is bad
* Unions bad
* Law & Order rhetoric over true justice
* Trickle down economics
* No sympathy or compassion for Black people's fight for justice, equality, pursuit of happiness

I totally agree. But what if you think the best candidate is a moderate, or....a republican (gasp!)?
Well it all depends. Is this a local or a national election?
I've voted for republicans in local elections because they aligned with my interest. Those Republicans that I did vote for weren't wacky Bible thumpers, didn't present themselves as racist, weren't apathetic to the plight of the less fortunate, etc...
I myself much perfer candidates that are moderate but not just moderate for the sake of being a moderate. I like a person that can take multiple sides and try to come up with the best solution vs believing their particularly ideology is the only way.
Republicans on the national level are too aligned with the wacky shit for me to vote for them.

I'm sure there are some sincere black men who actually believe in what they're saying (e.g. Clarence Thomas type) but far too many if you listen to them are just being contraraians.

Shit they may all be racist. I said the one's I voted for didn't present themselves as such. That doesn't mean they aren't racist.
