In this election cycle, I have been a passionate advocate for third-party options, with my current preference being Cornel West. However, we acknowledge the dominance of the two-party system and recognize that this election will ultimately elect either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. Therefore, let's address this issue in practical terms, not just ideologically. As Black people, we find ourselves at a defining moment in history. Once again, we are being asked to save democracy. Our vote is pivotal and has been crucial in electing recent Democratic presidents. Despite this, our critical issues, such as reparations and economic opportunity, have consistently been sidelined. The number one issue for Black people right now is economics. We are not concerned with the fact that America is racist; we are accustomed to that reality. What we demand is substantive action from our elected officials. Before Kamala Harris announced her run for the presidency following Joe Biden's withdrawal, I vowed not to vote for either Biden or Trump. My issues with Biden extend beyond his stance on race; they also include his political influence, which has stymied Black economic progress for decades. A key example is Barack Obama's presidency. Obama's deliberate centrist appeal to what Dr. King called "white moderates," influenced by Joe Biden's presence and advice, meant that significant issues for Black people, such as reparations, were not addressed. The concern is that Kamala Harris, given her support for Biden and her political history, will follow that path, leading to no substantial progress for Black people. This is the issue she must address directly to earn our vote. Kamala Harris has primarily represented the upper echelon of Black society, but she has much work to do to connect with the majority of us facing financial difficulties. If Harris does not address the economic needs of Black people directly and forcefully, she will not earn our vote. And we are fully within our rights to allow this country to face the consequences of another Trump presidency if the results of the presidency will affect us the same either way. While Republicans are often criticized for their racial insensitivity, their economic policies benefit the wealthy. It is time for Black people to attain wealth. Yes, democracy might falter, and America might face a great reckoning, but as always, we will stand in solidarity when necessary. Remember the uprising of 2020 following George Floyd's murder and the Black Lives Matter movement. Kamala Harris must speak directly to Black people, particularly Black men. We are tired of the Democratic Party's empty promises. If we do not receive substantial policies addressing our immediate economic needs, she will not earn our vote, and we are well within our rights to withhold it.
So to be clear we’re cool with a candidate not only locking up people for marijuana after claiming she also smoked same marijuana, but using slave labor and extending peoples prison sentences so they could do slave labor Christ lmaoooooo
This black man supports Kamala Harris! She is the most qualified candidate by far and the best chance that African Americans have for advancing racial progress in America!
So we’re gonna pretend she didn’t lock up Black people for marijuana charges and essentially use slave labor for the roads in ca by extending their sentences way past what they should’ve been legally allowed
Have you not seen all things that Biden got down? She will just dollow that path. She isnt some savior but far better than republican policies. Lowering drug cost, student loans, and the chips act all are things Democrats did. They all help the working class.
There is hesitation among black men in America right now regarding the Democratic Party. For nearly 7 decades, we have been voting blue no matter who, but where has that gotten us: our neighborhoods are crime ridden, our schools are dead last, economically behind by every indicator, and our aggregate household net worth's are chronically trailing every other disparate group. Trump has his faults, but our neighborhoods were not over run with illegal immigrants during his tenure. Kamala was assigned the task of being the immigration czar of the Biden administration, correct? Did she succeed in tackling the immigration issue? What policy objectives has she spearheaded that helped our community?
It stinks as a concept because art should be digested and sat with for a good while instead of consumed over and over again like fast food but I'm glad you're able to navigate through it!!!
All these men are commenting nasty things on my RU-vid videos. society has a problem, an incel problem...we need men who are mentally healthy and not angry
Hello, May I share the most important news you will ever hear in your whole entire life? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?

1st episode listening in. Solo Leveling is a South Korean manwah (manga from SK), I suggest reading it, the action sequences are great, also he fights a dragon in the manwah in the later chapters. Thanks for a great episode 🤩
I consider myself to be well educated with an affinity for vocabulary but I had to look that shit up. Reciprocity? Shit sounded like a madlib. For those wondering, it's the formal noun form of reciprocal or reciprocate. Class dismissed.
