I wrote The Vanishing Black Family as a cultural manifesto because this is what happens when family breakdown is forced into a political frame. Elections aren’t the answer. In fact, some of the highest rates of white nonmarital childbirth are in πŸ”΄ states.

DeSantis won nearly 20% of black women in 2018, largely because of school choice policies Dems oppose. That’s real agenda-based voting. The problem for @rolandsmartin is that his β€œblack agenda” is just a front for β€œback the blue” politics (e.g.,πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈβŒπŸ‘ΆπŸΎ) & we all know it.

Nice try @TorraineWalker. I’m not β€œjust realizing.” I’ve always advocated an agenda-based vote. There are plenty of Black politicians I ripped for voting against Black folks. Ask Artur Davis. You can celebrate anti-Black issues voting Byron Donalds. I WILL NOT.

This line from @SymoneDSanders is part of what I call the β€œSelma effect.” The Left’s fusion of racial identity and political affiliation makes voting πŸ”΅ not just the β€œright” choice in the minds of progressive pundits, but also theΒ β€œblack” choice for cultural gatekeepers.

Simone Sanders on Byron Donalds winning Florida: "All kinfolk ain't skinfolk"

According to them black voters are only allowed to think for themselves as long as they think exactly like Democrats

And apparently Florida is racist
