The lineup for Illinois’ 2018 Democratic gubernatorial primary is firming up fast. So far, the six-candidate field is mostly white, and all male.

To win, one of them must energize and capture the party’s crucial base. African-American voters should be asking: What have you done for me? What will you do for me?

Public affairs consultant Alexandra Sims says they should be making deals. In the governor’s race, “what’s going to happen across the state and across Cook County is deals. And you want the black community to be part of those deals.”

I get a kick out thinking how the black people were at war with the southern confederate slave owning KKK party until MLK jr was killed, then led by John Lewis they all, as a whole surrendered their very lives and future to the very southern confederate slave owning KKK party that they had fought for 100 years!

Astonishing.

And for the last Sixty years:

African-American voters should be asking: What have you done for me? What will you do for me?

Yep! That’s what you want to do.....listen to the advice of someone on the payroll that wishes nothing more than to kill you and become a symbol of Black power.

My guess she only had the position to satisfy the racial imbalance in the staff.

Chicago needs to be designated as an enemy encampment and crushed by a Marine division and several US Army tank battalions.

“Listen to the Black Community”

Kind of hard hearing them over the gunfire.
