"Criticizing black kids for obeying the law, studying in school, and being ambitious as 'acting white' is a trick Democrats play on Black people to keep them poor, ignorant, and dependent. Free the black slaves from the Democratic Party plantation.”

I'm in Georgia 6 so I see and hear them all the time. Which us does she mean? She's not from Georgia, and Jon Ossoff is. She's from closer to Washington than Jon is, and she has a history that isn't great. Lots of baggage. Are "us" white Baptists? How about Methodists?
