GIVE US A FUCKING BREAK. Almost every fucking issue that gets discussed as it pertains to Black people gets centered around black men from job opportunities to community outreach programs to criminal justice to police brutality. This is bullshit. https://twitter.com/andrewgillum/status/1336318678275665920
The first black president of this country was a BLACK *MAN* who is *still* the most popular figure in the party. Jim Clyburn was hailed as SAVING the Biden campaign, which helped deliver this election and THIS man said “you don’t hear about Roland Martin”.

Roland. Martin.
“You don’t see articles about the Don Cheadles and John Legends” YOU MEAN THESE FAMOUS ASS ENTERTAINERS WHO HAVE THEIR OWN PLATFORMS? You think Black men are ignored by the party bc FAMOUS ppl aren’t getting enough shine for you? @Bakari_Sellers Are you fucking KIDDING me?
You see everyday black women who voted in massive numbers and volunteered to work the polls and black women activists and organizers like Stacy Abrams getting shine for doing the REAL work and your response is “what about the recognition for famous black men?” @Bakari_Sellers
We all suffered through a month of ICE FUCKING CUBE who had *zero* political/organizing experience getting to talk about his cockamamie ass bullet list in the media AND BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY only to be told “Hey, famous blk dudes aren’t getting enough attention!”
HOW MANY ARTICLES HAVE WE SEEN EXTOLLING CHARLEMAGNE AS AN IMPORTANT BLACK VOICE? Charlemagne. A goofy rapey nigga with a radio show is now elevated as a “leader” but sure. Black men are invisible or something. I swear this has me HOT đŸ˜€
