I called my state and federal representatives after the VRA was gutted. I am white and am livid this happened to my fellow Americans. White Americans, pack Congress and your state legislatures by voting for BIPOC candidates. .

For #3 there are plenty of people in a transient phase that this is feasible for and encouraging them to consider the south is reasonable. We all have biases about what it would be like to live in different regions. I think addressing those biases and valid pros and cons of a move to the south would increase feasibility.

Also, consider safe districts to move from and strategic places to move to. This is not just for moving to the south. Southerners are moving to the north for safety. So if you’re leaving the south where should you go to replace the voters who moved south or to increase the majority in northern swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin.

A tool like this would be great for college students considering which school to go to, new couples debating who’s hometown to move too, and so many people looking to or required to change for innumerable reasons.

Or even better directions or a toolkit for where to go figure it out yourself

All Options work BUT VOTING IS THE BASELINE.THE BARE MINIMUM. MANDITORY ON ALL LEVEL! GET THESE YOUNGER PEOPLE OUT THERE TO REGISTER AND TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!

14:22 Black Solidarity ⚫️

We will be equal, when on any given sunday, there are as many (by %) brown people in office (across the board, not just congeress or sentat) as there are in the population, and where randomly some governing body happens to have 3x the % of black persons to black population. We will be equal when 50% of the people on governing bodies generally, are women. But also when the supreme court has 9 women on it. (yes, all women is not equal in that moment, but to BE equal, means sometimes we will vote for 9 women). We will be equal when we do not need to make laws about your hair. (NOT, "we should not be making laws about hair, but we do not NEED to), especially because teachers, policy makers, have some idea about human variety and why some people take different care of their hair rather than try to be like a specific set of people in control.

We will be equal when kids in school read books about a little black girl as the lead, with a asian gay boy as her best friend AND NO ONE THINKS ITS WORTH COMMENTING ABOUT HOW PROGRESSIVE IT IS.

Equality is not not "we didn't shoot a black kid today, cause we are good cops", it's "Tommy, the son of the rich car shop owner, was put in jail for harrassing a girl." cause equal is ALSO the white rich paying the same time as everyone else for crimes.

"what's next for black power". I don't know, being white, but I hope it involves a fuck ton of saying "no". and feeling safe doing so.

Malcolm X stated,
"Blk ppl must realize any
MEANINGFUL GAIN
for US, is inherently taken as a threat to
the wht power structure…"
and that they rather
pacify blk ppl w/
symbols, instead of real concrete things like genuine equality or systemic change…🤨

Imo, Juneteenth is just that a (symbol) for EVEN more $$$ to be made off of & pacify @ the same time but what has been gained, in that sense that
Malcolm X spoke on…
*did you gain, seriously?
"Absolutely Not!!!"

Communities, have always have weekend long celebrations, anyway…

(s👀 here's the thing,

Dr. Claude Anderson needs to be a guest

Retaliatory Gerrymandering in Blue states may help Democrats rebalance the nation wide party balance in the house. But that will likely rquire FURTHER diluting of majority black districts in thouse Blue states because overwhelmingly black and democratic leaning districts would need to be broken up to take more districts. Many CBC members are unwilling to do this because they are unlikely to win renomination. But its now incressingly possible for black candidates to win nomination and office in white majority districts, but they are invariably YOUNG and progressive black candidates who win. Infact we had just reached parity CBC membership in the house with the national black population share, 13%, to keep that from dropping due to losses in the south we may simply have to have more black nominees in democratic white majority districts in the north and west, they won't be ideal at representing the intrests of black voters in the south though as their are real political differences between them. But they will be reliable votes in congress to rebuild the voting rights acts, overturn these supreme court rulings and pass anti-gerrymanding laws nationwide which will bring back souther black representation.

If both sides are equal, and our vote doesn’t matter why are they fighting so hard to keep us from having one

Our social currency is our strength. We need solve resource needs quick. Our high earners have to get involved as well. They're often fighting for and standing with everyone else it seems

I need these videos to be longer 😭

The unfortunate side is that there are many like the young brotha that you interviewed a while back, saying that he preferred a future of dangerous freedom. Well, we’re definitely getting it and then some.

They left James Clyburn district as is.
