(719 posts)are monolithic and for some drug induced reason, we vote for folks only if their hue matches our skin color. MOST Americans of African descent know Kanye is crazy as that uncle everyone has who's kept in the back room & when he's allowed out, he stands at the screen door, in a pair of draws, dress socks & sneakers, eating a fudgesicle. This kind of thinking is EXACTLY what outs racists. Guess what else? Not all POC live & breathe hip-hop or rap. Ain't that a "blip"?! In Minnesota, there are SO MANY Somali & other African people who actuall y have their OWN opinons, likes & dislikes, for crying out loud.
The only people who'd vote in enough numbers to make a difference for these idiots are too young to vote or are in "Whispering Pines Home for the Mentally Fragile". WE.ARE.NOT.STUPID!
PS: We are NOT monolithic NOR homogenous...Just like any other group of HUMAN BEINGS! This is something that MOST if not ALL black people can identify with. JUST HOW MANY TIMES, have YOU, (Du'er's of African descent), been in a situation where you're asked if you know some black person who the questioner, (USUALLY, a older white person BUT can be anyone in a less villified group), met 30K years ago in Bumphuck, Idiotica Province, Upper Podunkia?

(719 posts)POC to make a difference for trump....& before you ask...YES!! I HAVE heard someone say this, as a matter of fact, to date, I've been told this by magat idiots, 2 here in NorCal, (with a giddy grin on their faces & 1 online). They said that it won't matter how many POC of color voted because just like the Jill Stein f*cked up the vote for the democrats last time, Kanye will do it this time. I have 3 brothers, 2 I speak to because the other is a COMPLETE psychopath.. Anyway, 1 lives here in Norcal and the other lives in Tucson. They've heard the SAME THING & it grows out of dumbshit that racists believe that somehow, we ALL speak "Ebonics", ALL love Gangster Rap and we know each & every black person in the country.
We are NOT monolithic, ANYMORE THAN any other group is. The point i that they believe that because ALL & ONLY black people like rap, (I HATE MOST OF IT, more of a smooth jazz, R & B, Fusion, classical, show tunes cuz I trained for 12 years to be a concert pianist & my mother was a vocalist), racists think that this is a sure path to draining votes in the places where he's on th eballot. I honestly DON'T know any AA that DOESN'T think that KANYE is a disgrace, (kissed trumps ass) & crazy AF...
Get it now?

"Vote _rump 2020. No More Bullshit."
Wish I'd taken a snap of that with my phone, but I was more interested in seeing who was behind the wheel of that gas-guzzler. It was a Karen! !!
