Politics. Associate Pastor at Fuck Around and Find Out Missionary Baptist Church. Not here to remake the Democratic Party in Bernie's Problematic Ass Image
Listening to Kyrie Irving on IG Live right now I'm confronted with the fact that we've raised a generation of folks who think contrarianism equals intellectualism and we're too far deep for them to understand the difference.
President Biden won 81 million votes and flipped Georgia and Arizona. Like no Democrat has done that in decades. Not even close. And in just two years y’all want him to step aside? Y’all done lost your minds.
Black folks watched in horror as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act and we was like hell yeah fundraise off that shit! We was mad enough to flip GA too.
But here y’all are ready to crawl into hole and give up after Roe being overturned because you got a text for $15.
The response from the Jan. 6th hearings I think shows that Democrats don't have a "messaging problem" but that the media has cultivated an atmosphere that no matter what they say they will always criticize the delivery of the message over the urgency of its content.
So this is a thing now. People running as Democrats in blue districts and then switching to Republicans after the election. Going to have to start vetting candidates better. Cause this isn’t the first time.
Biden has not killed one Palestinian in this war.
American troops are not on the ground.
He has not ordered any airstikes.
No drone strikes.
If you want Biden to stop supporting Israel say that.
But this isn’t an American war.
It’s a Hamas-Israel one.
Just FYI Hawley is the guy some of the loudest voices on the left helped get elected because Claire McCaskill was supposedly a no good and rotten corporate Dem centrist. They’re still pretty unrepentant about it too. Think it’s hilarious she lost and he is what replaced her.
Man Black folks don't fool w/ too many folks but we really loved Betty White. We been rockin' with her heavy since Golden Girls. Grew up with her. Found the receipts about her refusing to play certain venues unless they allowed Black folks to play there too. Tough to lose the 👑
I think Black folks are saying we care about the suffering of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.
We just don't see how empowering Republicans to punish Biden helps that.
Also don't show up to Black churches to yell at our elders based on performative bullshit.
Fin.
Back in the day when white nationalists and supremacists were running wild on this app when they would jump in my mentions to call Black folks inferior or "mud people" or chimps I would just post pictures of Idris Elba while they babbled on about the "master race."
The DNC moves South Carolina to the first primary. Roughly 60% of the Democratic voting electorate is Black.
House leadership is now led by a Black man from Brooklyn.
A Black woman will probably be the party's nominee in 2028.
If you're mad, we see you.
We all know why.
"Watchmen" and "Lovecraft Country" being critically acclaimed and not renewed is .. something that will always bother me. Perhaps they were stories never meant to be told beyond one season and that's ok. But they were too good not to consider continuing.
I'm not only comfortable with Biden's age I'm comfortable with the succession plan should something happen to him.
Part of the reason I voted for him is because I wanted Kamala Harris to fulfill that role in the remote case something occurred.
That was the whole point.
Biden is an incumbent who is winning about 90% of the vote in his primaries. He has significant legislative wins and his party has won several high-profile elections in a row.
This is an unbelievable winning hand.
Folks saying fold because he's "old" are gaslighting you.
Folks leading the "liberals are cool with genocide" crowd been telling us for years they were cool with the systematic oppression of Black people and stripping of reproductive rights because they felt icky about the email lady so I'm not really feeling the newfound outrage.
The rush to define Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as "corrupt" while simultaneously saying WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO THIS GUY IS is a pretty big tell from many on the left who are dedicated to sabotage unless they're put in charge.
They don't want Black leadership unless its on their terms.
The idea that the only thing wrong with the Democratic Party (and it’s base of Black women) is we need a younger whiter coalition inspired by the crossest old white man in Vermont to lead it is deeply offensive to me and it should be to you.
The idea that we were put into this mess because "Democrats chose a shitty candidate" needs to die today.
There should not have been any equivocation, indifference or hesitation in voting for her.
Hillary was never a shitty candidate.
You were just a shitty person.
Kanye basically told folks his plan was to siphon enough Black votes in 2020 from Biden to get Trump reelected. We been knew his publicist threatened two Black election workers in Georgia. But, you know, I’m sure his documentary was riveting tho. 🙄
For Black men feel "disrespected" by Stacey Abrams what dafuq do Republicans have to do for you to feel disrespected?
They tried to imprison Black folks for registering folks to vote, passed voter suppression laws, defended cops who shot unarmed Black folks
What will it take?
The people yelling at Viola Davis like she’s responsible for the history of the Dahomey Kingdom are the same people telling Black men not to vote for Stacey Abrams and who thought Kevin Samuels was a philosopher and not just a heckler in tailored suits.
They stay loud and wrong.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is urging Democrats in Dearborn, Michigan, to vote against President Joe Biden in the state's upcoming Democratic primary.
Y'all mad at Keke Palmer for showing skin cause she's a "mother."
Mad at Tracee Ellis Ross for showing skin cause she's 50.
Mad at Lori Harvey, who is neither, because she gotta high "body count."
Who raised this generation of weirdos?
The crazy thing about Paul Pelosi being arrested is ...
Republican Anton Lazzaro was arrested for underage sex trafficking
Republican John Raymond was arrested on juvenile cruelty charge
RNC aide Ruben Verastigui admitted to being part of a child porn ring
Y'all was quiet tho
#BREAKING
NEWS: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, has been arrested in Napa County on two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol content level of 0.08 or higher, ABC News has confirmed.
@EBJunkies
There’s a thing certain Mayo Americans do when it comes to Black accomplishments and that’s usually the backhanded compliment. It’s a way to recognize you while keeping you in your place. It’s the type of thing you never hear then say about say Tom Brady. We see you tho.
People will tell you "if you can't criticize Dems are you in a party or are you in a cult?" You know
#BlueMAGA
and all that
But mufucka you've been doing this sh*t for six years. Every got damn thing they do it's not enough or you hate it
Think this is as more than "criticism."
@RpsAgainstTrump
No, black folks are drawn to
@realDonaldTrump
NOT because of his handouts, but because he speaks to them, he understands them, and they, in turn, relate to him.
Just a reminder the response to Aaron Bushnell's suicide and these Black soldiers killed in Jordan about a month ago were not the same.
Wonder why that is.
And watch the people explaining why Bushnell deserves glorification while they didn't.
They're telling on themselves.
You’re not winning a Democratic presidential nomination without support from Black voters. It’s just not happening. The fact that you keep trying to find an end run around us to do it I think is illuminating about your view of us and what your plans are for us once you get it.
Love seeing all the love from LGBTQ+ fans today! Now here's one I call the "ready to fight your homophobic relatives" pose. Just kidding. (Or am I?) Haha! 😘
Show me a Black conservative and I’ll show you someone who has a very low opinion of Black people and a vested interest in monetizing that disdain so they can sell it back to white conservatives and Republicans as a way to justify their racism.
My name is CJ Pearson. I’m 21 years old.
I am American, not African-American.
I celebrate CHRISTMAS, the birth of Jesus Christ.
Not “KWANZAA”, a fake holiday created by a convicted criminal.
Sorry but you don't get to tell the Black base of the party that the candidates we choose must step aside. We chose President Biden and Vice President Harris because we didn't want Magic Grandpa or Miss Millie Warren. We're trying to keep it cute but don't get it fucked up.
Since "Butcher Biden" is trending just gonna remind folks that the woman who coined that phrase, Clare Daly, is probably a Russian asset.
She's advocated for Ukraine's surrender and essentially denied China's genocide of Uyghur Muslims.
Boy y'all really know how to pick 'em.
I really appreciate Matthew McConaughey speaking out and he's got agency to do so. It's his hometown. And people listen to him here. But folks trying to swap Kamala out for him or make him the next President need to chill the f*ck out. He didn't even wanna run for Governor.
Your daily reminder ppl didn't question Tara Reade's accusation because of Biden but because it kept changing. And it just so happened to be pushed by people close to the Bernie campaign
It was women investigative journalists who first sounded the alarm
Democratic leadership is led by women, Jews and Black folks. That’s who leads the House and Senate and that’s who’s in the White House. Just remember that when you hear people go off on them. That’s who they’re talking about.
I can't tell you how inappropriate it is that an unaccomplished Congresswomen like AOC is constantly going on national TV to tell President Biden how to do his job. Like it's unbelievably inappropriate. Have that same energy for legislation that you do for twitch streams.
🇺🇸Joe Rogan: If Biden wins, you'll have a president in decline with diverse idiots under him
"He's gone. You know he's gone. You're going to be relying on his cabinet that'll be a sideshow of diversity.
You can't have those kinds of people running a Ben and Jerry."

It’s not just Susan Sarandon. It’s Briahna Joy Gray. It’s Nina Turner. It’s Katie Halper. It’s Molly Ball. It’s Bernie Sanders. It’s the DSA. It’s the Sunrise Movement.
F*ck every sandbagging saboteur who decided they wanted to play games with the Supreme Court in 2016 and 2020
Let's not act like this is some "new" development. They've been like this. They were celebrating when Roe was overturned. They been saying stuff like this for years.
Too late for a reset.
I know folks have said this before but I'll just reiterate.
Rachel Maddow is a Stanford graduate, Rhodes scholar and has a doctorate.
Sean Hannity didn't even graduate from college.
Anybody making this comparison is not doing so in good faith.
Apparently there’s a Black Trump supporter at my job who posted pictures of a photoshoot of her on Facebook dressed like a slave picking cotton. Her boyfriend is a white dude with a large confederate flag on his truck.
This is why I stay to myself.
So I just found out from my Dad my Mom has been diagnosed with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s
They’re given her anywhere from two months to two years before we completely lose her
We’re deep in prayer and just trying to appreciate the last moments we have left
All you can do
*Right-wing Supreme Court overturns Roe*
You: OMG!
Democrats: help us get rid of these Republicans
You: I will not vote harder!
Progressive social media influencer: bro we can totally put up tents for abortions at Yellowstone Park
You: NOW THATS A FIGHTER!
Republicans: 😂
So a Black guy hires an old white guy nobody wants.
He spends eight years learning under him observing the forces trying to undermine him.
Old white guy finally takes over.
He’s able to expand on his old boss’s legacy.
And somehow this makes his previous boss a failure?
🤨
I’m a 45-year-old Black man who has been politically active since I was 18. It’s interesting to hear people aligned with Warren, Bernie and other progressive groups use the term “fight for us” so frequently because I have yet to see that shit when it comes to my community.
The fact that ADOS, FBA and B1 are trying to re-elect Kemp, who literally tried to put Black men and women in jail for voting, should tell you everything you need to know about them. They really don’t like Black folks and especially Black women they can’t control. It’s obvious.
I saw Hillary campaign and especially the battleground states so I'm not trying to hear that "if she had only went to Madison more she would've won" jazz.
She faced a hostile media, WikiLeaks, Comey's letter and hearings on Benghazi.
Trump didn't have to deal with any of that.
Was Blaire Erskine this upset when the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act and took away my protections as a Black voter in the South?
Or was that not important enough for a rage spiral?
Charles Barkley says he is 'dying to vote' for Nikki Haley and put 'all his heart' behind her GOP presidential campaign, then gives Haley a chance to clarify her comments that America was 'never a racist country'
Remember they’ve been blaming him for shit for years. Then when she got out they was like “this is a bad deal!” Like she was a used fucking car or something.
Black Twitter is going to be quick to remind folks it was Black and Latino Gen Z that showed up a lot moreso than white Gen Z so don't be the person who elevates the latter to erase the former because you'll get told real quick.
Don't do it and you won't get ya feeligns hurt.
Wow. MSNBC really sin't interviewing anybody but "uncommitted" voters.
Like he's winning the state with almost 80% of the vote.
There's gotta be SOMEBODY to interview that's a Biden voter.
I'm scared for kids being raised by these women yelling at Vice President Kamala Harris that she's "not a mom" because if this is how you treat women who care for children they didn't give birth to then how are you treating your own stepkids or stepkids in your extended family?
Rose McGowan was outraged at President Obama because he didn’t personally thank her for bringing down Harvey Weinstein but she’s quite fine with endorsing Larry Elder who was been accused of assaulting two former girlfriends.
I've had family & friends tell me they will not vote in 2024 if their options are Biden and Trump. Every single one of them said they'd vote Democrat if it's not Biden.
If the DNC wants to beat fascism, they have to offer better than Joe. I'm not convinced they care.
I'm sorry but if you're making "this happened under a Biden presidency" arguments about the Supreme Court I'm just going to assume you're an idiot.
I try not to make judgments about people but there is too much information available for grown ass people to make this argument.
Folks who are all suddenly like WHY DIDN’T DEMOCRATS PROTECT ALL THIS STUFF REPUBLICANS TOOK AWAY even though they’ve been warning about this happening for yrs got big I haven’t done homework all semester but let me show up on the last day of class and ask for extra credit vibes.
President Biden lost his first wife in a tragic accident. He lost a son to illness. He failed countless times as a presidential candidate and his campaign was left for dead numerous times.
The idea that he isn’t a “fighter” is the dumbest sh*t I’ve ever heard.
The best indicator of how Democrats see their midterm prospects and chances is Dark Brandon been walking around arrogant as hell in don't give af mode for about two months.
I love it honestly.
Kodak Black is a Trump supporter. He’s 26.
Candace Owens claimed Ukraine was created 35 years ago and praised Hitler. She’s 34.
Briahna Joy Gray claimed it was “vote shaming” to point out Trump could tilt the SCOTUS right if he won. She’s 38.
Youth will not save us, folks.
Republicans and conservatives are this weird mix of bullies who want everyone to love them despite how horrible they are. They'll yell "Let's Go Brandon" and pray for Obama's death but if you call them deplorable or fascists they tear their panties falling off fainting couches.
Forty six years around the Sun today.
Didn’t really have anything planned. Maybe listen to some De La Soul or watch “Primal.”
Just feeling grateful I actually made it to this big age.
God is good.
My nephews are roasting me over showing my tattoo btw. Ungrateful niglets lol
The reason folks are blaming Obama and Biden for Roe being overturned is because the obvious reason is sitting right in front of you and his name rhymes with Ernie. They don't want you to blame him so they're going after everyone else.
So now that we have a Black man from Brooklyn as the Democratic Leader in the House suddenly the Democratic Party has a “coastal elitism” problem according to the pundits and they need a “salt of the earth” person from “Middle America” (read: white) to come save them. 🙄
