Crockett and Mamdani - The Path Forward

[JustAnotherGen]

Post in the Black American Group

Can someone explain to me how the same people who can't see a path forward for Rep Crockett - with her background, education, professional experience a tested as a member of the House of Representatives, were all in for Mamdani and are all in for Platner in Maine?

Mamdani is a Muslim and that demo makes about 10% in NYC.

In Texas, Black Americans make up about 13% of the population. Black women are 51% of that population.

Maine is . . . well - Maine.

I just need someone to explain why Crockett is perceived as 'lower' than Platner and Mamdani? Why? What's the difference?

1. That must be a rhetorical question

We all know the difference

2. I feel that too many people can't take female and black voices as seriously as any man's voice

And a black woman's voice is disregarded out of hand.

Rep. Crockett is my wife's hero, and she sends me clips and quotes from Ms. Crockett several times a week. My wife get's tepid responses when talking about Ms. Crockett to white friends, male or female.

You already know my opinion about why that is. Most people "know" that they are not racist, heavens no, but they never ponder just why their knees jerk the way they do.

BTW, Happy Holidays to you and yours, I hope all is well.

5. The influencers are out to destroy her as they did vice president Harris

I have no faith that America will vote to save herself because hate is her only emotion. I ain’t talking about black folks. They are so good with the hate propaganda, folks voted to deport themselves. She is qualified to help get this country back on her feet but these folks would rather starve or drown before they vote for an angry black woman. Someone on DU misquoted her and these folks threw a fit and called her names. This is a supposed liberal site . I will end it before I step over an imaginary line.

6. Ah - so it happened here too?

7. If you have a strong stomach

Try a du search with her name and the word dumbass. The thread might still be available.

8. I know why. She doesn't insult and demean black people and our culture.
