The Democratic party brought this upon themselves.

In the 1970s Daniel Patrick Moynihan came up with the Benign Neglect ideology towards black people.


That has been practiced ever since then. Black people are promised nothing and nothing is done specifically for black people.


Any legislation regarding black people rarely if ever even says it's specifically for black people. It will say minority, people of color or group them with others.


Black people sat and watched Obama do nothing for black people for 8 years.


This is the result. Had Obama done more it would have given us reason to go vote but he didn't so you we're given Trump by the fact black people decided why bother if we're not gaining anything from it.


Biden has done something tangible for every group imaginable except black people. Asians got hate crime legislation. LGBTQ got legislative protection. Heck illegal immigrants who broke federal law by crossing the border illegally got a settlement from the federal government.


Black people got a bunch of symbolic nonsense. Juneteenth, hip hop appreciation month, and Kentanji Brown Jackson (who has a long record of voting against black people in discrimination lawsuits).


And don't even bring up the BS Anti Lynching Act which didn't even say black people, African Americans or identify us specifically.


Let's run a scenario


 Prior to the passage of this bill:

If a white man lynched a black man and got caught he'd go to jail for many years.

After passage of this bill:

If a white man lynched a black man and got caught he'd go to jail for many years.


Difference. Now it's just officially considered a hate crime. (Mind you not a hate crime specifically against black people because this bill nor USC Title 18 mentions black people)


If losing their freedom wasn't enough to keep a person from lynching me, then the fact that they will be labeled racist in doing so probably won't stop them either!


The Democrats didn't do a DAMN thing for black people. So they have no right to ask black people to vote for them just to save the country for everyone else. Let them go ask the Asian community. Let them go ask the LGBTQ. Let them go ask the Hispanic community.


Kamala Harris and Biden literally said they wouldn't do anything for black people.


But what's worse is the stuff they tried to do which wasn't even specific for black people like build back better failed too.


The Democratic party will get the black civil rights generation vote but they have lost the gen x and millennial black voters!


The Democratic party doesn't deserve to be in power! If they do stay in power they will have to do so without my vote and the votes of many other young black people who feel the exact same way!
