(59 posts)Doug Jones won because black folks got out and voted their butts off, voted for the man who put the KKK members responsible for the Birmingham church bombings that killed four little black girls.
Some 60% of white women voted for Moore, and even more white men did the same. Jones didn't win because of women or the white vote, he didn't win because a white female Senator from New York led the charge to kick a white Jewish male Senator from Minnesota out of office based on accusations of sexual misconduct, he won because black folks vote Democratic and black folks got out and voted last night in large numbers. They made sure Alabama didn't send a pedophile to the Senate, but rather a champion of justice, the man who put child-killing KKK members in jail.
Do not give credit for their victory to white people.
