  1. Kamala was not.my first choice to run against Trump. I fear she won't beat him because this country is still not ready for a woman president, much less one of color. And, I'm especially turned off by the numbers of Blacks who are against her, and that includes other black women. It's like their prime objection to her candicacy is their indignation over the assumption that they will automatically vote for her, and they don't appreciate their support being taken for granted. Some of them, however, really do hold her in contempt for various personal reasons, while overlooking Trump's sordid past and present treachery. Meanwhile, I continue to be amazed by those who think a lying, incompetent, ignorant, narcissistic, petty, bigoted, mentally-impaired felon is fit to hold the office of POTUS. I didn't really think I'd be around to vote in this election but here I am, still kickin' with the election only a month away. What can I say? I hope Trump loses, but I wouldn't bet on it. America is on the brink of something. What? I don't know...

    richardmurray ok, i comprehend the questions nature very easily Ofcourse....YOU'RE the one who constructed and ASKED it...lol. Does Eric Adams rhetoric to the remainder of the black populace in nyc prove false now? Ok, after reading your original post a few times...I have a better understanding of what you're asking. Based on my understanding of what you're asking...I would still say NO. For 2 basic reasons: 1. Adams' criticism of the delinquency and dysfunctionality of Black American culture rings true REGARDLESS of any personal issues he may be dealing with. Many of our people DO have serious mental and disciplinary problems and DO need help dealing with them. I don't see how him being targeted and indicted makes this statement of fact somehow "less" true. 2. Most of the so-called "crimes" Adams is accused of committing isn't "street" crimes or violent crimes. Crimes that further humiliate and disgrace poor and Black people who are stereotyped as being more predisposed to commit them. He's accused of high-class so-called "white collar" crimes. Infact, based on the charges I've heard....most are these "crimes" shouldn't be considered crimes at all because there are really no victims involved and most politicians engage in them. Just because somebody points out the problems in our community and they may sound unflattering....doesn't necessarily mean that they are lies or that they should be dismissed as "self hatred". Minister Farrakhan has criticized the behavior of our community for DECADES and he usually gets applauded for doing so because most people understand that he's coming from a position of SINCERITY and LOVE and points the problems out so that they may be SOLVED.
  4. Cornel West is on the ballot here in Georgia, but he is ineligible, so a vote for him would be wasted either way. If West was serious about working for the government, why hasn't he entered any other legislative race? Why does he, like Jill Stein, pop up every four years like it's ground hog day? When I tried contributing to Madame VP Harris's first campaign, she had already suspended it. I was thrilled that Biden selected her as his running mate—she is beyond the most accomplished candidate we've had besides Hillary. And if VP Harris were a man, there would be no question or contest. This is one more reason why I despise this patriarchal society the Europeans created. Early voting starts here on the 15th, and I'm already planning my white ensemble for the inauguration. I've been with HER since then Senator Harris wanted to bring back nationwide after-school programs for our children during her first presidential campaign in 2020. #VoteBlue #VoteHarrisWalz
  5. The Black Anti Fascist Tradition. An excellent read so far.
