Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how a far-right, anti-Black racist like Jeff Landry becoming Governor is a win for the Black residents of Louisiana.
The Black candidate who opposed Landry ran on a reparations platform, but white racists & a few Black YouTubers are over the moon that low Black voter turnout kept him out of office. Side note, if you're celebrating the exact same thing that you're enemy is celebrating, then something is seriously wrong.
Because I worked in government, I could be biased (as I've said numerous times, EVERYTHING in America runs on politics), but I don't think that Black folks not using our political muscle is something that we should be happy about.

It is not a win for us.

    Roland is such a non factor as for the republican winning in a majority Black State they'll either put their own candidates forward that will actually listen to the people or the democrats will get the message that has been sent. It's not about winning at this point its about sending a message that unless you do for us we won't budge for you. Quid pro quo 🤷🏾‍♂️✅️

    The only difference between the Democrats and Republicans is that both will harm or even kill you. The Democrats gas light blacks into accepting their own destruction:
    * embracing trans women as women
    * making interracial dating / marriage better than marrying each other (PS Nothing against interracial dating/marriage personally IF the black person is still pro black).
    * accepting immigration of peoples who are anti black if not black, or some anti FBA if they are non FBA. Look black but are anti FBA, as opposed to people like Godfrey the Nigerian American comedian or Minister Farrakhan whose heritage is Caribbean.

    The Republicans are overt with it. They don't hide it. You see it coming.

    That's the only difference. That said, we become tighter with Republicans in charge if they start tripping on us hard. The Democrats losing to Republicans regularly puts immense pressure on Dems to address black specific programs.

    I don't want to seem like I am pro Republican. I'm not. I see white Republicans basically as the KKK until proven otherwise. But we as black people tend to get together more with them in charge for our own safety. Even the pro Dem blacks. With Dems in charge, its conquer and divide. With Republicans the pro Dem party blacks are getting that work from Republicans as much as B1 blacks. We are all suffering. Common enemy.
