18. She won't say

She's a good loyal Democratic Party member. And she's probably on calls asking for donations for her campaign.

Urban Radio was the home of the late great Black Eagle: Joe Madison. It is a Black American Biosphere. It is an informed group of listeners and callers.

I was listening to that in real time. It doesn't matter the show - its the same caller saying the same thing. we know it has to be a white guy. She's reassuring Black folks that we are being heard.

When Black women say (the core party ride or die base) it must be a white guy: Listen to us.

We are telling a truth to America that Liberals and Progressives who are NOT Black Can learn what is needed for the safety and security of our children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, etc etc.

We need reassurance. She met us where we are at.

What's the problem with that? Why does David Hogg get to say meet young white men where they are at in language they can "hear" - but she doesn't get to do the same thing for Black women?

The days of tone policing us and discussions about Respectability are OVER. Do not tone police any Black woman politician in America ever again. We saw what white folks permitted and allowed in November. All she did was hold up a mirror to America.
