Why Black Women’s Votes Are Crucial in 2024: What’s Really at Stake.

Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry

(ThyBlackMan.com) I was on a Black Women’s organizing call the other week, when one of the leaders challenged each of us to reach out to ten people to encourage them to vote. I don’t know a soul in my close circle who does not vote, and I don’t seek out folk who proudly say they are not voters. I do collide with a few from time to time, like when I was walking up the street one day when a brother, recognizing me, wanted to argue that voting was a waste of time. I gave him five minutes (set my watch) and then moved on. Most people I know are politically aware, political activists, civic and social justice activists and more. Maybe my circle is too narrow, and I’m all right with it.

This column is not for those who “do the right thing”, vote despite their skepticism about our extremely flawed country and our equally flawed political system. This column is for those who wonder about their votes and whether they make a difference. What’s at stake? Every single election since I can remember – 1972 – we say that this is the “most important” election in our lifetimes”. Tricky Dick Nixon had 61 percent of the popular vote and swept the Electoral College, winning every state except the District of Columbia and Massachusetts. Nixon steamrolled the liberal McGovern. Was it our most important election ever? One can both argue that and also wonder how our nation might have evolved under a McGovern presidency.

I recall hearing the “most important election ever” every four years and while it sometimes reads as an exaggeration, sometimes it is more real than we would like to admit. When the Supreme Court stole the 2000 election from then-Vice President Al Gore, that was a consequential election. Did Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton concede too soon in her race against Mr. Trump? To be debated, but many think so. 2020 was such a consequential election that the dark forces of Mr. Trump tried to overturn the government to steal the election. Now he says he will pardon them if elected in 2024.

So in many ways this is a most consequential election. What’s at stake? Some think describing the 45^th President as a “threat to democracy” is extreme and untrue. But Project 2025 shift our system from one with checks and balances to one with imperial power. We have a robust civil service, that a President that adher3s to Project 2025 would shatter, in a system that would allow Presidential appointments to replace civil servants. Black folks, especially Black women would lose from this shift.

All women, but especially Black women, lose when reproductive rights are restricted. We are also when draconian policies eviscerate public assistance in the name of “welfare reform” and make even basic health benefits contingent on work. We don’t have the infrastructure to require work, but we do have the ability to punish those who do not have jobs.

The Department of Education is on the Project 2025 chopping block, and its elimination would have a widen the achievement gap. Project 2025 would eliminate Head Start, one of our most demonstratively successful government programs. It would eliminate Pell grants, which help hundreds of thousands of student from low and moderate income families to attend college. It would eliminate race-specific programs and affirmative action, by outlawing programs that consider DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) in selection and allocation. Indeed, project 2025 digs into the details of curriculum, regulating the ways subject matter is taught, including history, enslavement and other subjects. Project 2025 would punish universities based on the way some subjects taught. While Project 2025 purports to streamline government, instead it expands government by creating ideological regulators who would eliminate “left liberals” and “Marxists” from classrooms in elementary and secondary schools, and also in colleges and universities.

Contrasting the Project 2025/Agenda 47/Republican platform is to understand the redundancies of these closely related documents. Mr. Trump says that Agenda 47 reflects his positions, and he tries to distance himself from Project 2025, although more than 100 of his allies, associates, and former government appointees worked on it. If you read these documents carefully, you’ll understand what’s at stake.

Law enforcement. The environment. Immigration. Elections. Consumer Protection. Union rights. Wages, Vice President Kamala Harris a distinctively different approach to policy and government than Mr. Trump. Are you willing to live in an oligarchy where one President has the unchecked authority to investigate, fire or prosecute. Are we willing to shrug off our freedoms for a narrow-minded vituperative bigot? What’s at stake? Our very freedoms. Staying home is not an option. VOTE!!!

Can we all agree that 85% of Democratic African American women are Not Married, Unwed, single, with kids out of wedlock also known as bastard kids and these Black Democratic women are most likely to have night stands and relationship with Democratic Black men walking around with No Jobs, unemployed, criminal records, Parole, stunk of weed, full of sexually transmitted diseases with a 4th grade level education. Yes, these are the black Democratic women that are telling everyone to vote for a so-called black women who is married to a Jewish man.

Can You also agree with me that 90% of Republican Black women are married to hard working, military veteran, college educated, Republican Black men and they are doing way better than single black democratic women who go around sleeping with democratic black men who will only see black women as a sex object and income but they will not see those black democratic black women as wife’s and mothers to their children. Indeed, the problem we have in Black America is that black Democratic women will settle for less and vote for hope and symbolism; but the Black Republican women will vote base on what is best for her and her black Republican Husband and children.

We see how the democrats make a mockery of black people everyday and an example was a few days ago when Karmala brought a disgusting ghetto black women aka Glorilla, a black female democratic rapper who stood on stage rapping and dancing about vulgarity and indecensy. Likewise, they brought Cardi .B another half Latina half Black women who can barely speak english properly but who sings and make songs about sex, drugs, and WAP. Yet, these same lady will not allow her daughter to listen to her dirty music; But, black Democratic women let their bastard children listen to Cardi B rap music such as WAP.

Yeah, no other community will alow any of their members to come on stage and act a fool and be an embarrasment to their community. Only the black community, allows the demcratic white party to use retarded ghetto black rappers and hoes to come on stage and start twerking and singing about rap music about sex, drugs, killing, death, pedophilia etc.. We have seen how Biden and Karmala choose the lesser of all black community like Glorilla, Sexy Red, Megan the Stallion to represent our black community in front of the worlk and knowing for a fact that these black Democratic women are nothing but trash, ghetto, weed heads, alcoholick, criminal records, with kids out of wedlokc and more so , these are the type of ghetto black women who get involved with democratic black men who are criminal, gang members, weed heads, unemployed, felons, parolee, criminal records, full of STD and with a dozen out of wedlock children with a dozen single black demcratic women.

With That said, we coudl clearly see tha the democratic way has not benefit or help the black women in any way; likewise, black democratic women are more likely to grew old and die old alone or with a dog on their lap and a bible on their table as a courtesy from the white Democratic party.
