86% of Black voters backed Kamala Harris in November, and we’re on the front lines leading up to the election. So no, nobody should be in the business of questioning our political resolve.

Those who get it know you’ve been fighting since day one. We know this is our fault & our fight even if we’re individually not to blame. We know your fight has largely been against US & there are those of us that will not back down from using our inherent privilege to stand up in your stead.

Stealing this. Thank you.
We are only missed when it is convenient to some folks. We done fought the battles, it's time for the non melanated to fight their own. We will watch from the side and make sure we are good.
Thank you for sharing this very important and very truthful information. Sending you all my best.
Most of us get why y’all aren’t there, at least the ppl I know.

Don’t blame you one bit.
Wight people must deal with Wight people & stop trying to place their inadequate responses to their own historical malfunctions on others. Fix what your ancestors broke, and deal with your counterparts to stop their insanity... guaranteed the entire world would be much better.
60% of men and 60% of all white people voted for Trump. No one is responsible for this but men and people like me. People like me need to get tf out of everyone else’s face.
Coughs *white women* coughs
Yes I assumed my face made that clear
Black & white and I left my readers at home 😊
As a white male Biden/harris voter, this has always been a disgraceful stat. Embarrassing. Misogyny 🤬 Will take a few generations to change unfortunately
It’s bad. Hearing what it’s like for my teenage nieces, how emboldened boys are rn it’s a problem (thanks Trump and right wing media)

my 15yo niece has had boys ask her political affiliation, has had friends break up bc their political views were different. Thats not normal, yall don’t even vote.
Exactly! It's up to the white people to get out and yell and protest and MAKE GOOD TROUBLE!
100%.
92% of Black Women backed Kamala and Tim!
And that’s all that needs to be said.
Watching from Europe. The only community that seems fully aware of what is going on, and seems to be quietly planning and mobilizing, is the black community.

If your country somehow survives this, I'm guessing that it will be mostly because of them.
As always
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to help preserve our democracy.
I appreciate all of you and try to be an ally.
just letting the understudies work out this production
This is classic tear each other down divisiveness that leads to defeat. Everyone needs to stop with the gender stuff, the race stuff, the religion stuff, the class stuff. Anyone who loves our country, imperfect as she is, needs to work together to fight the fascist oligarchy currently taking over.
You’re not helping with this. The current situation was built on racism. Our entire country was. I agree the main fight is against the fascist state right now, but ignoring how we got here is not the answer and won’t help us rebuild better.
It’s not ignoring our history; it’s prioritizing the survival of our democracy so that we can continue to work to make it better for everyone. We’ve got to be united in this. Divided we fall.
We’ve never been united and it’s not history. It never stopped — just changed its hat. We won’t be united until we come to terms with our complicity. It’s the only way we can unravel this problem and find a way to stop it. The only way out is through.
👏👏👏 !
Exactly - how do we become a united front against the authoritarian billionaire overlords who have declared a class war on us - ALL of us, not just the white people or the brown people. ALL of us have rise up against this. We are the majority.
Most dont doubt it! Baters looking as always to divide us! The youth is who we really need to motivate! Social justice and consciousness!Color, religion, social status be damned! The music of the 60’s binded them to the streets! That’s who i want to see come forward.
I hear you, I voted for Kamala, and I’ll still be in the streets protesting these Nazis.
The ones Trump calls the other good people. I notice none of his good people died. His grandfather was deported from Germany. Why are our people being punished. Go punish your German ancestors.
I’m half German.
Are white people like me boycotting Target. Are you boycotting Walmart?
Amen - you all understood the assignment
I get the same feeling when I hear Neo-Libs complaining about not being able to recognize where the pro-Palestine protesters went.
Thank you!
This is it. We never stop working towards a better future. But it's on our terms now. And we won't stop. We have learned over the years, but unfortunately, there are too many of our brothers and sisters of other ethnicities that are playing catch up & finding out on the fly.
Why is it so difficult to believe that the election was stolen? You had a Supreme Court Justice and his wife under extreme scrutiny, a former president who incited a riot, stole secrets and was out of legal road. Look at all the republicans had to lose and no entertains the thought that they cheated
It’s not hard to believe for non-Americans. I think it might be pride. The whole “it could never happen in ‘Murica” thing. Election Truth Alliance has looked at 3 swing states post election data and found evidence of manipulation in all 3, what’s called a “Russian tail” in the data. Trump lost
It’s just no one will have the guts or money or ability to petition the courts to recount the swing states to find out for sure, and there is no legal mechanism to remove an illegal, illegitimate president once entrenched.
We all know this. The problem is getting the old fart Democrats to fight back. They just want to keep their cushy jobs and collect money while just complaining on tv. This Democrat wants someone representing me who will fight for my rights and freedoms.
So, BRAVO!
Old WW can’t help but notice that “they” who are calling on the BASE of the Party to do free work, are showing up en masse to fundraise the Oligarchy Tour, which does absolutely nothing for our local, state or federal elections.
I don’t get your meaning
Yeah, organizing people across the country does nothing... right...
Dying to know, what exactly do you think they’re organizing? I believe the old coot was encouraging people to leave the Party just a few stops ago. And one of them still drives a Tesla. Fools.
We went from the 1%’ers, now that he’s one, to the oligarchy.
Performative politics, same side as the
orange oligarch.
They are FUNDRAISING for their reelection.
They are getting tens of thousands of people together in deep red states.
To do what? Give them money?
You are part of the problem.
They’re fundraising, not organizing, you silly ninny.
They are organizing, and that does take funds, but the organizing is the point. Hell, Just showing people that 30,000 people will come out to support them in deep red states is a good enough reason. Quit splitting the left. That's always why they lose.
LMAO. They’re organizing people to come out and give them money?
Latinas are the demographic that were right up there with you. Still are.
Hispanic men, and their 'machismo,' white MEN & WOMEN and their WHITE privilege, 'Manifest Destiny' BULL SHIT,
put the Hitler wanna-be in office.
And I am SICK, SICK, SICK of all of them!!
Hopefully Latino men will come aboard as they see how this Administration is willing to treat them. I feel like we're very close to all moving in the same forward direction
Yes. 🙏
Unfortunately they’re not. I have seen again and again they won’t realize they fucked up until it’s them
Me too. Very well said.
Hispanic is a bs white titles
that claims Black Dominicans are more in common with white Cubans than Black Americans 🙄
I agree with you. Its the way the exit polls are divided.
I'd love to refer the to Latino community in all of the various ethnicities and combined races.
Look at Cameron Diaz and Celia Cruz. Both lumped in the same category. I'm always asked here in TX what my race is, Hispanic or White? LOL!
Because it is abundantly CLEAR they woefully chose a Rapist Felon

This country won’t let go of colonialism
That too
Hitler wanna be rode the white cloaked KKK Christian Nationalists to office. I may seem white ( Native American, Jewish, Scot, Welsh, Black Irish, German Dutch voted for the most qualified candidate).Who was
mixed like me. We should put more emphasis on the content of character, not color of skin.
But so many did not vote
True, but we are speaking of the ones who did.
You're absolutely right. I guess it just didn't register how much of a threat dictator trump would be.
I think the majority of us support and understand the implications.

Do not put yourselves on the line when we all know they are just looking for a reason to disappear everyone they don’t like.
Just saying it would give a stronger stand if a greater diversity people come to the protest so show them that people of all shape size gender color religions are standing together. Idk who said black people aren't doing anything have you seen Mr.Crockett? She's out there with the TRUTH!
Why not? In the 3 months leading up to election day, black men were out right saying that they felt neglected and taken for granted and were voting MAGA

Everyone was needed, and for some reason , this shit happened
I'm happy to follow and support Black leaders and activists. They're out there actually giving a shit.
Fought, were hanged, beaten, whipped, and flushed with water hoses....this hasn't happened to white folks.....YET
Why do ppl feel the need to always fckn police wtf Black people is or ain’t doing? Let’s start there. If I sat my Black ass round and didn’t lift a finger, I don’t owe a gatdam soul an explanation. My dad told us, my fight was to give y’all options fight or leave. He been left and I’m glad he did.
100% minorities tried to clean the 2016 mess up.
I say black people have done more than enough. Let the yt people handle that. We can do other things. Doesn’t mean we can’t be active but we do it in our own ways.
Recently, I have seen black sources that are saying black people are sitting things out because they think most white people voted for Trump. Many of the white people you see protesting voted for Kamala. I don’t think they need to approve black political action, they just want solidarity.
Biden had more support (10%) from the Black community than Kamala did. What's done is done, color is not relevant, sort out the future rather than litigate the past.
Sure.

💙💙💙💙
We all understand that if they show up as a group, MAGA will show up and attack them. MAGA start violence and the police will start arresting black protesters. Trump will call them terrorists, declare Marshall law and start deportation. There should be no problem holding space to keep them safe.
What a frightening situation.
He’s hates disabled people and is dismantling everything for them also. Basically, only white healthy men and women who are Christian nationalists and his loyalists. Everyone else is in danger. Yesterday he said Antifa and BLM leaders are terrorists. Trying to eliminate all his opposition.
And RFK Jr likely thinks vaccines just keep the weak alive, so whoever survives pandemics is the master race.
I have no doubt of Black voters. I hope you stay alive and healthy.
As you deserve.
There are other ways to protest. Never underestimate the power of closing your wallet.
Aldi's and Costco are what I have narrowed down to. Publix occasionally, but there is a pro-Christian vibe. However, as they are Florida based, they are more homogenous and diverse as it were. Just generally too expensive, we fixed income people have to watch our dollars.
I believe Publix are huge donors to the Republican Party and DeSantis in particular and I agree really overpriced.
I am checking, and we will be boycotting even the bogos. Makes my trips easier.
American voters lost faith in the Democratic Party. That is why Harris lost. It had nothing to do with her being a Black woman.

Until Democrats of ALL races accept the Democratic Party turned their backs on middle of America, we are going to continue to lose.
BS! How about voters use their eyes, ears, and brains to realize Trump 2.0 was bound to be worse than round 1 and vote to ensure he never saw the WH again? Harris lost because we have voters either looking for nonexistent perfection or who believe Trump’s PR mythology.
Replying all of that back to me proves to me that you really don’t understand why the Democrats keep losing.
Your smug reply speaks for itself.
How is it smug? I’m a democrat who is telling the truth on this.
This is why we can’t have nice things - like a Democrat in the Oval Office now vs. Godzilla. Some Democrats insist on a circular firing squad in lieu of consolidation. Democrats WERE focused on the people w/improved healthcare options, pathway to homeownership, etc. Yet here we are, self loathing…
Turned their back on middle America? I think you confuse Democrats with republicans.
I’m a democrat who lives in Texas. The Democratic Party really did turn their back on the middle of America and even the south.
I’m a Democrat who lives in Arizona and they really didn’t.
The media printed every single bs claim Trump made as fact even though he’s a pathological liar. Right wing PACs flooded TV with ads about men playing women’s sports. I’m in a blue state & I saw them during the Super Bowl. What were Dems supposed to do that they didn’t?
Grassroots work. Go to the people. Talk to them directly. Do town halls. Don’t let the Republican orthopedic media define you or your party. The Democratic Party relied too much on influencers to do their work.
Both Harris and Walz held a number of campaign events after she was nominated. Voters need to own this. The choice was effectively Harris vs. the antichrist and we see who America chose. If Elon cheated as people are alleging, we need proof.
Maybe if we would have audited the election, we would have found out what those DOGE boys were up to all last summer and fall. I doubt they were playing tiddlywinks. And maybe we wouldn’t be in this big stupid mess. We are in right now. Who would have thought they cheated?😳 it’s all so stupid.
Yep. If you haven't seen these yet, go check out @electiontruth.bsky.social @ @smartelections.bsky.social non-partisan data/cybersec. experts analyzing '24 vote data:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bPDYwiRC-o

They're also gearing up for law suits to audit swing state paper ballots.
I think I over share them, but no regrets.
Me too. The more people who are aware of these analyses the sooner we might be able to get some audits done.
👍👍👍👍👍
💯🔥 EXACTLY RIGHT!🚨
And that doesn't include the thousands of ballots that were thrown out of destroyed(those people they say were sitting home)⁉️
💞🌞🦋🕊️
Correct. As with anything in politics, there are different ways to use your leverage and different things that you can do. Not every action is for everyone. Figure out what you can do and do it. Black people can do what works for them just like white people.
Not one American can ever question the patriotism of any African American. They voted, overwhelmingly, for the individual who wanted to help every American, not just the richest ones. They voted for the individual who wanted to fight for the rights of every American, not to destroy them.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 bravo & very well said!
Fine I get that, all I would like to point out the some 10 million voters for Biden in 2020 that didn't vote.
95% of magats are Christians. Why not place blame where it belongs?
I do not.
Not American, but I wonder at the roughly 36% of people who didn't vote in the US in november. Not engaged in politics? Maybe an underclass to whom it feels irrelevant? Probably many reasons. I am not seeing a lot of regret from those who did vote Trump, and they aren't all MAGA.
Im seeing quite a few cracks forming.
I really hope so.
I voted. I didn’t fuck around with my vote in 2016, 2020 and in 2024. I didn’t pout about which candidate won and which didn’t. I didn’t make a moral stand against a woman that was SECOND in command to prove a point. The best you will get is an “aw” from me going forward.
They need us until they don’t.
It’s time for white people to address our problem - white supremacy. We didn’t show up enough in 2020 with the BLM protests and doing the work. It’s how we are here. We need to fix our mess.
👏👏👏 !
white people always notice when black people don't seem to be with them, but they never notice that they haven't ever been with black people
Truth.
86% of black voters who voted....
14% of the black people who voted, and 100% of the black people who could of voted but didn't, didn't vote for you.
Maybe your message could use a tweak . Maybe your resolve could use a little strategic thinking....
Hope you’re right about that because as a Democrat I heard young black men voted for Trump. That was really hard for me to hear. She only needed 1.5% more votes- she’d be President.
I’m with you, I voted for her, was convinced she’d wipe his butt. Sadly and I mean SADLY - was wrong. I’ll always 🗳️ 💙
You are worried about the wrong people.
Comment image
No let’s drive this point home because no matter how much he increased with black men it still doesn’t even approach the consistent lack of common sense of white women or white men and now we add Hispanic men to the mix.
“Spot on”! Totally agree. And what color are Trumps biggest supporters? Toothless and brainless whites 🙄🤨☹️
Believe me I KNOW about white men and white women being Trumpers. It’s freakin embarrassing. Before the election I traveled through many counties in my state, saw so many Trump signs - thought I’d puke. It was my awakening. And I knew when I went to vote I was there with a bunch of Trumpers 🤬.
It’s white people who fail this test over, and over, and over again.
The political resolve of black and women voters is being questioned. You know who showed up in November? 18-25 yr old males showed up for Trump.
The AP reports Harris only got 80% of the black vote, with trump getting 20%. According to them (and I don't automatically anything I read) that an increase of 10% for trump!
We a working
I don't want you on the front lines. You have done far more than enough. I will be out there for you.
Fr fr.
📌
No one should be dumping on any other group. Especially white on black. We The People are all the people. Not one group or another. Getting more people to vote is HUGE right now. Pressuring big business, protecting communities are all fantastic things.
Disagree- stop counting beans.
We ALL need to stick together to beat fascism in America!
I wish you well in the fight lol
Well said. TY
👊
Too many White women
(I'm a WW)
+ MSM
+ Oligarchs
+ Social Media
+
Apathy
Indifference
Distraction
has brought us to the brink
It's our turn. If black and brown were the majority on the streets right now we know the police response would be completely different, particularly in the red states. We need the white granny's and grandpa's in their faces.
But we do have to question those Black folks who registered to vote but don’t vote.

They are not working to improve the Black community.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 bien dicho!
The majority of Black folks tried to warn us. Native Americans tried to warn us about our fragile water supply.

As usual, the white majority didn't heed the warning.

Why would anyone trust a person whose entire business was based on breaking contracts, cheating subcontractors & lies?
Over the past couple of decades I have watched as in the end black women saved our butts. They have become our cavalry. I cannot sing their praises enough.
This country has always considered being "Black and breathing" as disorderly, frequently with lethal consequences. Why would Black people subject themselves to state sanctioned murder when they are already so good at effecting change through other means?
On the front lines for freedom since U.S. DAY ONE.
It wasn't Black Voters that got us here. It was White Women that put trump over the line, after telling me about Roevember Coming for 3+ years.
Comment image
This fight is up to white people. Please, our not white/straight brothers and sisters, let us take this to the streets. We’ve got you.
I'm European in a mostly white country.

Even I KNOW that black voters will risk more, fighting back against fascism.

I do not question your political resolve one bit. I do not question your courage! But I hope that you will not once again be the ONLY courageous ones fighting back. Take care.
There are more than plenty of those who have not had to fight for centuries to rise.

we need 11.7 million to come together and this is on us the "Caucasian" looking mf'ers , to do our duty as citizens
That is estimated at 210.88 million.

We can surly find the 11.7 million in that bunch
Why is it we are hated…until we are needed
We have had to protest with water hoses, attack dogs unleashed on us…police batons on our heads…houses set on fire…lynched…and more… No…we are tired…we fought for democracy at ballot box…you did not…now…revolution will not be televised…period…your turn now
That is just not true. From what I have seen there is representation from all races.

I know it can be hard to keep up with everything; yet, there are many frontline battles.

It will take all of us to stand on those lines.

You just have to expand your view to see it all.

It fills me with hope.
You will no doubt recall the very organized spin campaign during the 2024 presidential election to convince both the country at large as well as Black voters who might be influenced by peer pressure that any slight percentage fluctuation would mean POC were going over to Trump and the GOP in droves.
The problem isn't the amount of voters that voted for Kamala, it's the amount of people that DIDN'T vote that cost us the election. Yes, they didn't vote for Trump, but they didn't NOT vote for him, meaning they were ok and didn't see a difference between Kamala and Trump.
If you are a white American asking where the Black Americans are doing work to protect you, you are employing some of the 15 tenants of white supremacy. See it in yourself, and stop that shit. And stop tolerating it among people you know. Anything less than anti-racism is complicity with racism.

So we are this divided still? We are screwed!!!
Black people trying to stand with the people who fucking WROTE the constitution but yeah, white peoples ain’t really about that personal freedom shit
Truth
💯🎯Miss me wit’ that narrative‼️ WTH?
People firing shit at other groups for a sense of a lack of participation are like the worst of 'partners' in some of the businesses I had as clients.

Kinda like many alcoholics at a certain point in their decline

Lifting themselves up while being negligibly competent, self-importance is foremost
I absolutely agree!
I have been seeing you. I appreciate you.
Me too.
Black people were never called lazy until they stopped working for free 🙄
LOL, .... well, this is absolutely true, but 21% of black males voted for the dictator. . . ... I gotta rib ya friend.
Voting black just to vote black is a lost cause and benefits none else than those that support such low ideas. There's an entire continent for that type of segregation mentality that has never been prosperous on the world stage.
I know that it's the YT folks time to fight. And we don't want black folks out there marching, it gives the popo and excuse to get out the tear gas, dogs, rubber bullets and fire hoses ❗ and turning the marches violent will be counterproductive.
i dont know the numbers but I saw kamala’s rallies and that was the America I want to live in. There were many races and ages and male, female and in between. That is who I served for and what I served for.
This one is especially for you European Americans. A WAKE UP CALL!! 😫

https://youtu.be/8O96qA4z-gc?si=nn12uLXoeYsB_3pg
👊🏼
Yup. Truth.
👏
This is on white folks, obviously.
I could not agree more! Time for us pale folks to do our share of the heavy lifting. Past time!
Well stated…every word of it.
.....data is clear🧑🏾‍💻👁️

There is only ONE race that understood the assignment last November....only ONE☝🏾

The farmers, the veterans, the white men & women Made it abundantly clear they wanted a Rapist Felon...along with the bootlicking self hating incels who wallow in proximity to white supremacy

“It’s not the women’s vote generically, it is the single women’s vote. And that is because single women look to the government to be their husbands and give them, you know, prenatal care, and preschool care, and kindergarten care, and school lunches.”

100%. White men and women did this, and I won’t ever let them forget it either!
Them, the veterans, the famers and the bootlicking coons who ADVOCATE for white Supremacy. They have made it abundantly fuckin CLEAR
Comment image
It’s time for white people to stand up and fight for everybody, not just use people to benefit ourselves. We have been carried by people with darker melanin for our entire existence. It’s time we took the hits ourselves to appreciate what others have sacrificed for our selfishness.
I’m tired of being told that I need to be responsible for white people, especially white women. We live in America. People have agency on how they get their news and their information. If a white person wants to vote for Trump, that’s on them. Not me.
White people broke this and we need to be out there in the streets trying to fix it. We all know cops aren't worried about the optics of getting violent with Black protesters.
Thank you! 👍
As a white dude, my algorithm doesn’t usually show me this stuff. I’m trying to make it better and it’s amazing to finally find out all this information. Full support to you all!
I'm white as they get, I fully support all people of color staying home and staying safe. Fuck those white people who voted for this! Makes it our mess to clean up. I march and protest for ALL of us. Justice and DUE PROCESS for all!
Agree. As another white, I am beyond angry at whites who voted for Trump. We need to go after them.
I want to be @ the Capital Saturday. Hubby is worried about them targeting people who show up.
As a federal employee, I have serious concerns about facial recognition being used on demonstrators. But I also still have freedom of speech! And I'm pretty sure I could find legal support.
Retired teacher, I marched for women and LGBTQ in July 2 years ago. It was hot as hell. My girls and my niece and their friends were there. They spotted my lime green shorts.
Plus, I have lived a clean life. No jail time, but I am married to old fearful. A recent stroke has made him more needy. He is fine for a retired couch potato.
Love this
I’m a Canadian older white dude, and thank you for informing those who can’t see, the light . 👍
Heck, that resolve should probably never be questioned, given the history of Black Americans, broadly speaking.

I can't believe there's literally people going "wHeRe ArE tHe BLaCk PrOtEsTeRs??"

Living memory, BLM protests, the violence enacted against peaceful protest? Fucking hell.
💯
Keep going we can do this together. No one in my circle is questions “black folks”. The ones who are don’t get it. These aren’t performative actions they are in conjunction with other groups . I’m happy to march for all of us. This isn’t us against anyone but oligarchs. Thank you for this.
People tend to get hung up on the few black voters who supported Trump and forget that the majority did not.

It's not surprising that black people could see the level of tyranny coming long before the privileged who had their heads firmly planted in their own asses.
Marching on elected officials offices via post mail. OTP vp

Thats what Trump wants. That way he can unleash his stormtroopers on the protestors. Rest up. We got this shit.
"White" is what got us in this mess!! I'm old and White. We better figure out how to get out of this mess.
I can say with complete certainty that the white voting population in the US were the ones who shit the executive bed...
Absolutely 💯 agree.
I’d say 100% black women, and whatever the math is are men. Knocking 4K doors I spoke to so many men of color in my chocolate city who voted for Trump and Stein. Some looked disgusted at the thought of a lady being president. And others, Gaza was huge on their mind.
What is the percentage of men of color do u think vote for trump based on your door knocking?
I think a huge issue is we seem to be teaching no one about civics and how the government works. And that our taxes pay for everyone’s salaries. We run the government.
Divided by SES, men at a higher SES voted for Harris, they were some of my favorite super volunteers. But it was in the areas of my city which were broken and in stress were more apt to vote for Trump.
Anyone worried about Gaza and voted for either Trump or Stein made a jaw dropping miscalculation. Or did they calculate at all? Maybe they stayed home, which also favored Felon 47.
Exactly. And as a field organizer all I had messaging-wise on Gaza was “she wants a ceasefire and a two state solution.” My state chose a national abortion ban that didn’t exist to focus all of our messaging on.
Kamala never said that. She said exactly what Biden said, that America must guarantee Israel’s security and Hamas needs to be eliminated. In place of ceasefire, sh said “I’m talking.”
Okay
Gaza was an easy diversion excuse to not vote for a black woman.
Seems like it was. Will never stop shaking my head over it.
They still say Trump is better for Gaza and call it "Biden's genocide".
So much misinformation
Same. Election Day by 2pm I knew this wasn’t going to be good for us.
And if you watched the Eyes on the Prize series, you know it takes the right white to enact change.

White people need to step their asses up and make it right.
Would love to see how they decided that %. Snoop, Shaq, 50cent and so many more black public figures openly supported the terrorist.
Comment image
If wealthy whites are only 1% of the population, wealthy blacks are even less than that. Percentages seem right.
Interesting perspective. So, all the minorities that voted for chump were rich ones? Feels like maga math.
Bro, you literally only mentioned wealthy/established black celebrities, so why mention them if you didn’t want me to agree?
I mentioned them for what I thought were obvious reasons, like influence and fan base numbers that they have. Point was, the % mentioned seemed horribly skewed from what I personally witnessed throughout the campaign here in MI.
The super rich black people who were thinking with their bottom line.
And a whole slew of religious ones, for some bizarre reason. Same with many other minorities. Arab, Mexican, etc. Sadly.
Yup
I don't know who said this but I've been to 2 of these 50.50.1 rallies and there are plenty of POC. As a white male, my demographic, both woman and men, own tRump getting elected.

F*ck anyone that thinks any other culture needs to back our play. This ones on us. Step up or shut the fuck up.
But how many didn't bother to vote,?
No, Black people need to stay where they are at. Dumpty would love to see you all out in the streets. He would call ML so quickly, and there would be so many more people being disappeared. Stay where you are. It's time for the Alabaster accomplices to step up. You've been front lines for decades.
I think we are just saying we need your help! Black Americans have been more militant than whites. We may have to confront the Nazis and black folks would be a great help!
Correct!
In particular white people who sat at home watching #blacklivesmatter protest on their tv screens!
👏
Amen!
This! This! This! Black folks are busy minding their own black business. Maybe minding their own would help ppl! It’s not black folks job to save your white ass!
My white ass doesn't need you, nor did I ask for it the 25 years I taught our black children without your support.
Never did, never would question you.
Never questioned this! It was us stupid white folks who are responsible for electing an evil abomination.
"Stupid" being one operative word. The other one being BIGOTS. I am white and I'm mortally ashamed of the bigotry that exists in my privileged race. It makes me sick.

Lee Atwater can bite my ass. He kept this going after LBJ tried to squash it.

White men = 29.1%. THEY are the minority.
As a white male, I sincerely apologize to America. Only 38% of us voted for Harris…. far too few. The rest chose Trump. That’s on us. No excuses. No deflection. We failed you. It is our fault, and ours alone. We must do better for everyone’s sake.
Our problem is that the issue is not a black /white issue. There are so many shades of gray involved. I worked tirelessly in inner city schools. We got minimal respect, or none. Did we give up when the administration hit us with the beat down. No more beat downs. United, we stand. Divided, we fail.
Why are we determined to stay in one of the most racist countries on earth that was designed to provide us with a truncated future? The majority of the White population here is extremely unwell and has been so for centuries.
i spoke with a black friend of mine - he said he supports the protests but is staying FAR AWAY and I understood... he is in more danger than this old 62 year old white lady.
To be honest it needs to be white people right now. Eventually it may have to be all of us.
I'm not questioning it at all. If it were anyone other than white ppl leading the charge right now, then they would quickly call it a riot/terrorism. Just support our pale asses in the meantime, but keep yourselves safe. Let my white ass privilege be good for something in this fight against fascism.
📌
Capitulating out of fear is definitely not the move, though. Every successful protest movement has filled the jails to capacity before it succeeded.
I needed to hear this. Thank you so much!
💯
Kamala lost, as instructed by the owners of her controlled opposition party. And she was supporting a genocide. How can you call yourself Black and support that?
Fascism would not have come without the Dem corporatists in AIPAC's pocket.
💯
It is a dangerous time for Black people. We have to move differently. They want us to march. They expect it. The way they are sending folks to El Salvador? 47 is saying now, that he wants to send "homegrowns". Who do ya'll think that means? We are not putting ourselves out there to get got.
Our ancestors stepped up to free black people once before, I’ll gladly go in your stead to keep our colored brothers and sisters free. I can’t say black because they’re targeting all non-whites. Stay frosty and keep your head down, I never thought I’d see this country I fought for regress to 1860
You don't have to step up in my stead. Do that for those who did not vote. I said that we have to move differently, which means strategically. Strategy is not inaction.
Exactly.
Smart. Don’t. We will.
Indeed. Please stay safe. I'm advocating people protest with their wallets by LONG TERM not buying things they don't absolutely need, since we're fighting trump's oligarch buddies.

Also, those of us who can protest in person should but not everyone safely can.
Agreed. It’s time for us to step up and get in front and lead. MAGA would use any show of POC as a reason to incite violence. I totally get it.
Attention black people: please do not join street protests.

Y'all are cop magnets.
Someone said that to MLK. But he wouldn't listen. Cost him quite a few beatings, arrests & murder attempts till they finally got him at age 39
I never realized until today: same age as Malcom.
THE RIGHT TO VOTE

Yup!!!
We need more John Brown energy in my old white guy community. WWJBD?
Absolutely.
I absolutely 1000% agree
Yes, I’ve heard this repeatedly and I’m not saying you don’t have a good point, but the fact of the matter is it’s a sinking ship and it’s all hands on deck because if we don’t all participate, we’re all going to drown and it will be us first.
Joy says black women are taking a break and letting others do some leading.
The election was rigged by Russians. Genuinely, there's evidence, but the Dems don't want to say anything because of the Trump accusations in 2020. Really, who ARE the people we've chosen (sort of) to run the country?!
Musk handled the machines in Pennsylvania as Trump bragged. He just happens to be a Nazi @ heart and Putin financier by trade. Trump has always been for sale, looking for a bargain.
I think it was the Latino male vote, as 54% voted for Trump in 2024, that was disconcerting.
I agree 💯, we white people need to step up and get in for the long haul. Period. And we can learn alot from our Black community, start listening and doing. Right now.
This is all on white folks. All we ought say to black folks is thank you 🙏.
Nope. Just question the minds of white men, the white women they ride in on, and Latino men. Men are the problem, little else.
As a white woman I applaud you for this & totally understand why black women & men are not participating in the all white protests. I doubt I’ll participate in more as I’m not sure who in the crowd voted for trump & do not want to be affiliated with any white supremacists.
And God bless you for that. Now's the time for the bottom line.
Do we submit or do we fight for our country?
I attended that protest and will attend this weekends protest carrying my BLM sign. I am a white woman standing in for my black sisters who deserve a fucking break. Fam, I got this.
To be clear: I can only represent one voice. We need more white folx to stand up for our black communities.
Maybe don't use folx.
Y’know, some people hate it, some people are comforted by it, most just read on past it because it just looks like a typo.
Nothing but admiration and respect from me.
These were peaceful demonstrators too. They just happened to be people of color.

This hasn't happened to whites......YET..........

YET‼️
The stupidity of people is certainly amazing. If our Black sisters and brothers showed up in any substantial numbers, this would invite 47 to enact the insurrection act and the military to get involved. Our Black sisters and brothers did their part by voting as a block. It's on yt ppl now!
Besides, white people really need to step up right now. Racism is part of the problem, and that's mostly us. It makes a significant difference to see large crowds of white people showing up and saying NO.
The most important thing is that every democracy loving person DO SOMETHING. I think the fact that our current situation is largely driven by hatred and racism, black people should chose their preferred resistance method carefully because we want them and everyone safe. The Hands Off
Kansas City had black people in attendance. I didn’t really notice to what level. It was really just a large group of positive people with a variety of priorities working together to be heard.
It blows my mind that anyone would do this. Just... what? Really?? Great video.
Whenever I see this language amongst my white peers here in Ohio, I always push back with, "72% of America is white... If the crowd represents that distribution, you're not going to see some monolith of ANY minority demographic, where the TOTAL of ALL minority demographics amount to 1 in 4 people."
To which I usually follow up with, "and I don't expect every state to have 72%... The more red the state, often the more white, and 1 in 4 becomes 1 in 5, 6, or even more."

But I'm open to other points if people think there's a better way to reach my white peers 🤷‍♂️
Whelp.

Guess who would have been the first people arrested, detained and murdered???

Black & Brown folks.

I know we white folks rarely get it- but sometimes we figure it out.

Sometimes.
No, we know, and understand why you’re not in the protests!
That’s an important strategic decision, and brilliant, as it protects Black AND white Americans’ safety.

You just watch out for your neighborhood (shout out, Cinci!). We got this.
I don't want black people to protest. It isn't *safe*. Don't give them an excuse. Pls be careful ♡
📌
I don't think anyone is. But when I see blacks here on BLSKY saying they want to sit out these protests, it brings me back to the large BLM protests that MANY other races supported you and turned out for. But I guess there may be just a few too many white faces in these protests for your comfort.
If we let the Trumpers divide us, that's when they conquer us all! We all must unify against the common oppressor. Not fight each other like dogs over the crumbs that fall from the oligarchs tables.
I Love Our Young People…I’m Sorry But When I Think About The History Of Racism. Our People Have Not Only Survived But We Have Thrived ✊🏽
#AltText: Garrison Hayes' TikTok video addressing an Axios headline: "The missing Black demonstrators in anti-Trump protests" by Russell Contreras (https://www.axios.com/2025/04/12/missing-black-lives-matter-anti-trump-protests). Hayes is sitting behind a microphone in a recording studio, facing the camera as he speaks. For clarity, Hayes is a
Black man who provides various clips from news segments in the video to back up his points.

At around 29 seconds in, there are clips from the broadcast by State of the People showing Angela Rye at the top and The Breakfast Club (iHeartRadio) at the bottom of a split screen. This is while he's
speaking about Donald's SOTU address 4 Mar 2025.

At 34 seconds, Hayes shows an 11 Apr 2025 Retail Brew article titled "Target suffers 10th consecutive week of foot traffic declines, sinking stock prices since caving on DEI" with the subheading "Costco, which resisted pressure to ditch DEI, extends
foot-traffic gains streak to 15." At 36 seconds, he shows a 1 Apr 2025 Fortune headline: "Target can’t get its footing after its DEI program demise and a 40-day boycott against the retailer. Foot traffic at stores is down for the eighth consecutive week".

At 38 seconds, he shows a 10 Apr 2025
headline from Pride Publishing Group: "Target continues to pay price for breaking promise to Black America".

At 42 seconds, there is a clip from a 14 Mar 2025 NBC News video segment showing the headline "Ohio community says it formed armed patrol group to protect neighborhood following neo-Nazi
rally" (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/lincoln-heights-ohio-armed-protection-group-neo-nazi-rally-rc). At one minute, one second, Hayes shows a video clip from a WWLTV News 4 article titled "Concerns rise as Amendment 3 may affect juvenile justice in Louisiana". Several women are shown standing outside before the video cuts to a clip showing of a pamphlet
Don’t take the rubber bullet bait.
Yeah, but Black voters bagged out on election day at roughly the same proportion as everybody else. Equality of Apathy. I guess it's something.
❣️I’ve been attending the LIT chapter meetings at my local university. After the April 5th rallies, I asked if anyone had attended one. Yes, my privilege was showing. Graciously, they did not berate me for my ignorance. I vow to do better!!
You're absolutely RIGHT!!
Great! I just assumed it was "our turn" to step it up.
Only black voters have any chance at stopping these Nazis.
It took all the self-control I have when I saw my demo (WW) dismissing and denigrating Senator Booker and his speech a few weeks back.

Or when I see them demand that President or Mrs. Obama or Kamala Harris "do something."

Nope, not this time. You do something.
I have a question - curious, not critical.

The pictures I saw of the Hands Off protests were all white people, except in NOLA. Even ATL, where I grew up - all white people. I might be missing something.

I want everyone, ALL. A united front. How do we get everyone on board to say NO to this maniac?
Did you not watch to the video?

You don’t get to dictate how black people fight Trump Tyranny

They’re fighting, and they’ve BEEN fighting - for centuries! It’s about time the rest of us show up for them
I asked a question based on what I observed. Why is that wrong? I didn't attempt to dictate anything. I asked a question.

If we can't ask questions to learn more about each other, we are screwed. Go yell at someone else - like a bigoted republican.
My local protest was definitely all white, but I'm in the mountains, so we aren't necessarily blessed with a lot of diversity. Mainly Latinos, who probably don't safe. And maybe after the BLM protests, others also might not feel safe. I just wish we could all be together on this.
The absence of a police presence at these protests tells you all you need to know. The last thing Trump wants is the optics of cops cracking the heads of older "respectable" white people.
Right on! We should all be searching for ways to help!
I don’t think now is the time to go black vs white, Democrats vs Bernie Sanders. It is an opportunity to come together, identify your common values and work together. Division serves only MAGA.
You cannot come together with folks who have a split vote for Trump. That’s just not how it works.
Divide and impera ( divide and conquer) worked since ancient time.
Yeah, but the divide is at the thought process. And if you’re not thinking on the same page, you’re not getting much done.

People who split the vote for Trump are not people you can work with.
People are trying to divide us. I saw a quote "your town wasn't really represented" for our last protest. Yes, the marchers were far more white than our population, but the people driving by, honking and cheering were Black. I think they were afraid of targeted harassment. I would be too.
WW here. I’ve been marching and protesting and boycotting for all of us! We are all brothers and sisters and POC are doing more than most!
My only question is, "do you need a hand"?

Anyone questioning black resilience in 2025 is clearly out of touch, out of focus or just plain afraid of anything not created in their own likeness.
