A Georgia Democratic state lawmaker announced Wednesday that he will not complete his current term, a week after he got blowback for endorsing President Trump, and said he is “leaving the plantation,” an expression popularized by black conservatives and independents.
“I’m sick and tired of me and my family being attacked and harassed by the Democrat Party for putting my country before my party,” state Rep. Vernon Jones, who is black, said.
“Turn the lights off, I have left the plantation . . . I intend not to complete my term effective April 22, 2020. However, I will remain woke and vigilant in educating and fighting for my people,” he said.
Jones, 59, also explained why he threw his support behind Trump.
“I endorsed the White guy (Donald J. Trump) that let Blacks out of jail, and they endorsed the White guy (Joe Biden) that put Blacks in jail,” he wrote.

Get back on the plantation.
Wow, so he’s not a free man after all.
Nope, he has to listen to his Democrat Massas.
How embarrassing... and disgusting.
Free at last.
If you get back on the plantation right now. Massa won’t have you beaten as hard.
Remember, Democrats advertise themselves as the “big tent” party. They point to the number of blacks, hispanic etc that belong to the party. But, they are big tent only to the aspect that they all think alike. Republicans are the big tent party when it comes to diversity of ideas.
As long as the "diverse" ideas are not too conservative, or God forbid, too constitutional.
You are right, gotta agree with that
“I endorsed the White guy (Donald J. Trump) that let Blacks out of jail, and they endorsed the White guy (Joe Biden) that put Blacks in jail,” he wrote.

Maybe I will move to Georgia so I can vote for this guy when he runs as a Republican.
Or ..... maybe I just vote for him from where I live ... when mail-in-voting goes national/s
He stepped down because he was excoriated and his family received death threats from his fellow democrats. He told the truth about Trump and it upset people
Welcome to the light, friend.
Why oh why are you quitting when you just started to show some character (balls) in the face of the democrat scourge?
Wow, that’s kind of cowardly in my opinion. In my world, you stand up for your position, even in the face of such evil.
Most likely,people paid him a visit in multiple ways and ultimately,in a subtle way, he was told harm would come to his family. WTF does that fat pig Stacy Adams have to say?
My bad: FAT PIG Stacey Abrams! Corrected!
He probably agrees with Pres. Trump on other stuff besides the crime bill, but he’s being attacked largely by his fellow blacks I assume.
“Turn the lights off, I have left the plantation...”
