the black vote

Sen. Raphael Warnock’s victory in Georgia is a boon to the Democratic Party and an esteemed historical event for Blacks. His campaign demonstrated the impact of a committed Black voting bloc, but Black activists should be concerned that Herschel Walker, a totally unqualified person to be a senator, opposed Warnock at the behest of Republican MAGAs.

For Blacks, every election is important, regardless of the issues or the candidates. Every election is a test of the dynamic political response to any subject before them.

It is very important for Blacks to vote. Just show up and vote present so that whoever wins is reminded that there is a substantial voting bloc ready to be unleashed in support of the right candidate — despite race.

Blacks turned out for Biden in massive numbers in November. This solid vote was critical in many states, and Trump was able to tally only 71 million votes, primarily from disgruntled whites.
