but I'd love it if the Repubs started getting behind projects that benefit African Americans, and people of color were in the position of taking taking taking and just smiling to themselves "as if this is going to make up for everything that's happened up to now". Things like getting huge grants for BLM or raising money for African American candidates in local elections. I'd like to see white Repub candidates giving big parties and inviting black voters and being so obvious in their courtship that it would make your teeth hurt, and then not getting a single additional black vote.
