When they get their pockets full. They forget about us.

[reginaldwilliams]

They are not afraid, they take a oath to never help their own.

[ThinkingBrother]

Just because they look like you, doesn't mean they're for attention to what they do, not what they

[shantelmitchell]

The time for the symbolism of familiar faces in high places is over. If Black Politicians are too scared to do anything for the Black community, I don't see a reason to vote any of them into office. We can do bad on our own fr.

[pixieglam]

It's a vicious cycle that black people hadn't learned from yet.

[FoundationalAmericanBadass]

To keep Black people at the bottom is the agenda of America, while also giving us a false sense of being the burden bearers of this country, like to struggle is something to be admired...

[daestromm]

Any political representative who's afraid to advocate for his/her community hence constituency doesn't deserve to hold the office of representative.

[diyashakir]

Black people just drop out of the political process. Let black politicians fend for themselves.

[leroypoter]

That's why I will no longer vote for black politician whom have a history of doing nothing for their black community 😞😊😮

[kieshame]

"No taxation without representation!" Used to be law, now it's a slogan. They'll always push the goal post back on us!!

[karenc]

If you say that you're going to help the black community, it puts a 🎯 on your back.

[joybeybeeluv]

How did she get the nomination without Democrats even voting????

[Dmonai]

They say they don't owe us anything not even policies but they do us! But they have the nerve to ask for us for a vote!

[soulanstreets]

We shouldn't be putting people in office because of their skin color. The reason why we feel entitled to put people from our ethnic group in places of power is BECAUSE there is such a thing called "benign neglect". Benign neglect means that we are on our own and we have to "save ourselves"...so we look to people from our ethnic group that we elected to power to be the counter to the system that is bent on ignoring our needs, because....who would be better acquainted and understanding of our needs as a people other than one of our own??

So when they get there and do absolutely *nothing* or come up with a myriad of excuses as to why they wasted our efforts to put them there .... it's really a slap in the face.

[sheilamanitey-iddz]

Because they know Caucasian don't like that.

[kevin-jhjs]

I’m telling you Bkack folks as a whole need to send a message and just sit this one out. No reparations no vote.

[jerrellhoggard]

They had gatekeepers to hold them back

[WendallScott]

Why don't we do, what is expected of us, as individuals ? Before, we expect anything else, from anyone else..

[thefm]

Because not enough of us are not only on code but also dont demand it

[halimaqford]

As elder Anderson said, don’t vote for politicians buy them. Cause we been voting for how long with no results. We fell to understand that this is a power game. And until Black understand that, we will always be at the bottom.
