After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizers

“America is going to have to save herself,” said LaTosha Brown, the co-founder of the national voting rights group Black Voters Matter.

She compared Black women’s presence in social justice movements as “core strategists and core organizers” to the North Star, known as the most consistent and dependable star in the galaxy because of its seemingly fixed position in the sky. People can rely on Black women to lead change, Brown said, but the next four years will look different.

“That’s not a herculean task that’s for us. We don’t want that title. … I have no goals to be a martyr for a nation that cares nothing about me,” she said.

“That’s not a herculean task that’s for us. We don’t want that title. … I have no goals to be a martyr for a nation that cares nothing about me,”

Huh LaTosha, a nation that allows you a microphone and make a good living pushing your marxist rhetoric.

The AP article is long and is basically a post-mortem about the failure of the radical left democrats.

The Trump win is telling you to stop thinking exclusively about race (and race-baiting) and to start thinking about America.

“America is going to have to save herself,”

We're going to, Shaquanda, don't worry. Now when everything gets fixed and 'Good Times' are booming again I don't want you to partake in a single moment of that success, ya' dig?

The North Star moves, albeit slowly . In a few hundred years it will no longer be the North star

Exactly.

Hispanics have replaced blacks as a political power and they’re capable of voting Republican in 55-60% levels.

Blacks have just been mindless Dem voters absent any results. Hoping that changed as Trump was pulling 25% among African-American men in some cities.

I’m guessing she’s upset that the funding for her political organizing is going away.

True. Polaris will not always be the north star. Of course we know they are talking symbolism in this article.

No, "people" can't rely on them.

I do not want black women to lead. I know what their idea of "change" is and it is anti-American and anti-White - as in DEI policies, reparations for slavery, equity instead of merit and CRT theory.

I am glad the likes of Stacy Abrams, Kamala Harris, Fani Willis, Leticia James, Donna Brazile - and Michelle Obama are not "leading change."

The country cares nothing about her, because why? Because her side lost an election?

Remember her icon Joe Biden said, you don’t just love this country when you win, but also when your side loses an election. Or words to that effect.

Im so tired of having “black” stuck in my face and shoved up my @$$ that I’ve grown to despise the word. They are their own worst enemy, not whitey.

<< Black female voters were most likely to say that democracy was the single most important factor for their vote >>

Democracy is the reason Trump is the CIC again in our Constitutional Republic. These whiners may be unhappy about the result, but they should be satisfied with the process they CLAIM to support.
