Y’all need to stop lumping all
Of Alabama & Mississippi together. I’m tired of it. Black voters in both states tried very hard to do better for their states but racist white voters showed up in droves. They were up against 45 on the ticket and state parties that lacked the
Infrastructure to truly compete. Mike Espy’s team helped strengthen the infrastructure in Mississippi during the special in 2018 & again in 2020 and the work they did helped him compete everywhere. He did better than any other Democrat in white rural Mississippi but they were
Still up against droves of racists and a Republican Party that has had strong infrastructure for years. Y’all don’t donate to their state parties and Mike Espy had to beg to get ppl to pay attention to his race. You say our lives matter but u don’t do anything to support Black
Voters living in what is still the Jim Crow South. Cyndi Hyde Smith thinks lunching is a joke & it shoulda been ALL HANDS ON DECK to get her out; instead white Fauxgressives called Mike Espy a “neoliberal,” and white liberals didn’t do everything they could to help him win. Then
Y’all wanna act like all of Alabama & Mississippi chose these racist buffoons. 🙄. No, let’s be clear.. WHITE VOTERS CHOSE TOMMY TUBERVILLE & CYNDI HYDE SMITH. Doug Jones is everything a white ally should be. He showed up to stand in solidarity with BLM knowing what they would
Call him, he voted against Kavenaugh bc he wanted to be “on the right side of history,” he voted FOR removal and be voted against ACB. He hired a Black chief of staff & he made sure he showed up for Black ppl. If y’all truly believed our lives mattered, you would of poured every
Ounce of energy into making sure that Black folks in both Alabama & Mississippi got the representation they deserve and you would have poured every ounce of energy into making sure a racist who thinks lunching is a joke didn’t get that seat again. We may not have won but we
Would have tried & crucial infrastructure would of been built. I KNOW this did NOT happen bc I volunteered for Mike Espy BOTH times & I saw him having to go to the media to call y’all out for ignoring his race & I know Doug Jones did NOT have the party infrastructure to compete
Bc I spoke with people. Now these same ppl wanna get on Beyoncé’s internet and act like everyone in Alabama chose this knowing y’all didn’t lift a finger to help re build the infrastructure necessary to re elect Doug Jones. Meanwhile everyone was throwing money at the Wisconsin
State party. People write these states off as red states that “just don’t matter.” They do & Black Lives in the South matter as much as Black lives here in the North do. In fact, these racist sheriffs keep getting elected bc the local/ state parties have no way to compete. If it
Wasn’t for Black ppl organizing in Georgia that state would of never flipped either bc folks wrote it off the same way they do Mississippi and Alabama. Y’all wanna throw well deserved praise at Stacey Abrams and LaTosha Brown but don’t want to follow up on their mission which is
That Black voters matter no matter what state we’re in and like @MsLaToshaBrown says “the south is red till it ain’t.” The bottom line is STOP saying Alabama chose this racist buffoon bc no Alabama did NOT.. white voters chose this racist Buffoon, and If y’all truly mean it when
You say “Black Lives Matter,” you will throw every amount of energy you can into supporting Black voters who are living in states where their senators think lynching is a joke. You will let #BlackWomenLead and you will listen to what they need from you and act accordingly.
Otherwise it’s performative lip service and you can save it.
