Black people going to save America, again.
Funny how that keeps both happening and needing to happen. Its almost like founding a country steeped in racism may have consequences and we should restructure basically everything
What I most love about all this is the reclamation of the word, "Freedom." This is some seriously powerful symbolism out of the gate that only a black woman could really seize on. Privileged white boys like myself have no comprehension of the true meaning of this term like a black woman.
Especially in the backdrop of Freedom of Choice for a woman.
This just hit me hard, and I love it.
Black people, women and young people are going to save this country if they vote, if they can vote, that is. Tell everyone to check their voter registration monthly.
Lately, people are being removed from voter registration lists for any number of reason - wonder why.
My state allows you to register at the location of voting, the day of. That's how I've always done it. And how I intend to again.

It's not fair but it does make sense. They built it after all.
Mighty 54th was awesome!
You can toss them back under the bus the day after the election
Mwah ha ha! They'll help us elect another black president for nothing in return!
