I dare anyone to prove that Black people could vote in large numbers or were free to do so in 1865. Thus, attempting to create an all-Black political party back then would prove a fantasy. I agree with the idea of creating one. But I don’t see reality being respected. Black voters are not a monolith. We think differently. Most want all of us to be educated, skilled and free to financially exploit our talents. Most of us want our families safe and for all to own a home at some point. The problem is we disagree on how to accomplish this – but it’s never acknowledged. And that must be addressed – or you’ll taking about this until The End Times. This is why I noted any plan must be WORKABLE. And detailed. We need create an agenda most of us can agree with or one that will work for the majority of us. Because we know some proposals will never please all. But there is no friggin’ way I will denounce every single Black legislator who has been elected or work to ensure their defeat. We are not perfect. Neither are they. And people can and do change. If we can aim to put pressure on major political parties, then we can aim to put pressure on Black legislators to bring them around to our way of thinking. We need to add to the numbers of our representatives. Not start from scratch.

Special interests run politics i.e. money. IMO, before we can think of and/or establish a black political party, we must come up with an agenda that enriches the lives of black folks. The agenda has to be solid enough that black folks are wiling to invest their resources (time and money). Also, the agenda needs to emphasize demands to which politicians can be held accountable or else they won't receive...more money. 😎

Sounds like some creepy cultish type of shit to me. Looks to me they already had the name ready and wanted to make the change and were just looking for the right excuse and opportunity to make the move.

I have no stake in cryptocurrency. But, if there's a way for AfroAmericans to build a viable economic infrastructure with it, I'd definitely invest. Right now, all forms of cryptocurrency are illegal in China. I guess that dude Xi Jinping ain't even playing with it. 😁😎

@Mel Hopkinsperhaps because there is more unity amongst sisters, because they are the glue in the community the church, business, and every progressive movement amongst Blacks. It may be true of other people of colour.

Why so many morons of today continue to use the corrupt Facebook, Instagram, Google, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok platforms and services and a broad range of other mind-programming freedom-oppressing organizations and interests, is well beyond the common sense and reason of people who actually have common sense and know how to apply it. These platforms are a metastasizing social cancer that consistently and aggressively contributes to the decay of the independent thinker, which eventually leads to mental rot. A wide swath of liberal black America has blind minds when it comes to stepping back and seeing who's really operating in their best interests.
