Black Men Hesitant to Vote for Kamala Harris Need to Pull Their Heads Out of Their Asses
As a white man, trust me when I say there is no room at the MAGA table for you.
It wasn’t long ago when rallies like the one above were commonplace in America. Somewhat unexpectedly, the one seen in this image tool place in 1925 in New Jersey. If a Black man had appeared here, he most likely would have been severely beaten and maybe even hung.
These “get-togethers” by patriotic Americans eventually subsided in most states and eventually became the domain of racist white losers. The Ku Klux Klan, as we all know, has not disappeared from our American quilt and even went into hiding in plain sight.
While the sentiments that powered such vicious rallies of hate and shame seemed to fade from the hearts and minds of many Americans for a handful of decades, Donald Trump pulled out that old pool inflatable, patched up some holes, reinflated it, and tossed it back out into the backyard pool. Hesitant as they were in 2015 and 2016 to paddle out and climb atop the old, out-of-fashion raft since 2020, and a significant minority of Americans have no problem expressing their hatred for anyone not white, just like they are.
