Kirsten Gillibrand saw the big picture and it paid big dividends.

94. I said don't give white folk credit for something black folks did.

Not don't give individual white folks credit at all whenever they aren't a public embarrassment by voting for whatever fresh turd on a hot stretch of bad road the Republicans slap on the table.

I mean, there were white folks in the civil rights movement, but you don't give White Folks credit for the civil rights movement. You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down?

And I also was specifically referring to the white person (Gillibrand) you tried to give this black folk led victory to. Gillibrand didn't do this, this ain't her lane stop trying to shove her in it.

Yeah, there were white folks who supported Doug Jones. Good for them! But If it was just the white vote, Moore would have won. Also, I got a real problem with praising white folks for not being or supporting racists. It's like praising men for not being rapists. Have the standards gone down so low that we have to praise people for not being a shitty as they could have been?

This victory is because of who Doug Jones was, and because black folk got out and voted in high numbers. This would have happened even if the Dems let an ethics probe move forward with Franken, instead of shunning him. It's not like black folks saw all the demands from Dems for Franken to resign, and then suddenly realize that "Hey, maybe I shouldn't vote for the pedo racist cowboy who can't ride a horse, and maybe vote for the dude who put the KKK away for murdering little black girls. Gosh, if the Dems hadn't shooed Al Franken away, I never would have done that. That you, blonde white lady Senator from New York, for inspiring me, a black person, to not vote for the white dude who looks back on slavery with fondness."
