    2024 Election Review

    The 2024 Presidential Election concluded with the shocking and commanding victory of President Donald Trump. As a political independent I have examined the exit polls as well as qualitative and quantitative data to better understand these results . Although I'm a registered Independent, I primarily do vote Democrat and would actually like to see Democrats when elections again. There were a series of mistakes and failures by the Democratic Party throughout this election cycle that ultimately lead to them losing not just the Presidency but also the Senate as well. I examine the series of mistake and issues from an educational perspective, so Democrats and can learn and make adjustments.

  2. The Black Elite Gate Keepers

    The Black Elite Gate Keepers

    As a Third Generation HBCU graduate, a Third Generation Masters Degree Holder and someone who attends the Congressional Black Caucus every year, I KNOW THE BLACK ELITE. The Black Elite often are the "Gate Keepers" of the Political commentary of the Black community. The Black Elite, who are comprised of Black college graduates, professionals, journalist, political commentators, entertainers, content creators and people of influence. They may mean well, however they often adopt a very privileged and superior mindset that they are "better" than the rest of the Black community. Because the Black Elite is often academically educated they can think they "know best for black people" or that they're the only ones who can formulate. They'll gaslight, shame, guilt trip and fear monger any Black person that has a differing view or goes against the group think. Many of the Black elite are still surrogates and affiliates of the Democratic Party, meaning they possess and maneuver with a very biased agenda and perspective. Leadership should always be challenged regardless of the Political Party. The Black Elite has adopted the same mindset of the "White Moderate" that Dr.King warned about, they have a habit of telling Black people "this isn't the time" and "don't rock the boat". Compliancy will never bring change.

    How Conservative/GOP Influencers Push away Black Voters

    As a Black registered Independent voter , it seems that the Republican Party does not want actually have Black people join the party. Consistently conservative influencers will share and post subjective race baiting content that lacks academic and journalistic integrity. The mainstream black conservatives often have certain qualities and beliefs that cause them to have dissenting and negative views about the Black community. They often do not offer any solutions, only negative views. I examine and share the many fallacies and strawman arguments that result in pushing away new Black voters. I provide the solutions that the Republican and Conservative movement can take to provide more actual Black outreach.

  4. Power of the Black Vote

    11/02/2023

    Power of the Black Vote

    In 1870 the 15th amendment was passed which gave Black American men the right to vote, despite this law there were many barriers that hindered voting such as poll taxes, literacy test, "grandfather clause" and intimidation. Black Americans would not gain true voting equality until the voting rights act of 1965. In the past 58 years the Black vote has been a large asset for the Democratic party. It's important that we continue to demand tangible policy and legislation for our vote. However in the post Obama years it seems even more that the Black vote is exploited through fear mongering, gas lighting and straw man arguments. In addition many Black celebrities, athletes, musicians, and entertainers are often paid surrogates to sway the Black vote. The Republican party has never tried any true organic Black outreach and many mainstream Black conservatives often have negative and dissenting commentary of the black community. They don't offer any solutions besides "leaving the Democrat Plantation" thus implying somehow the Republican party is also "Not a Plantation" and a better solution. Understanding the historical importance of the Black vote and not being coerced into voting for people who do not have tangible policy or racist history just for the sake of voting. The Black vote needs to be more autonomous and independent.
