Our Vote Matters.

  

Like always, we knew this day would come. Hard work does pay off. Also, it is important to thank the progressive heroes like Stacey Abrams, the late John Lewis, Tamieka Atkins (of Pro Georgia), Helen Bulter (GCPA), Nse Ufot (New GA Project),  LaTosha Brown, Deborah Scott (GA Stand-Up), grassroots organizers, community leaders, and others who have caused Georgia to be blue. Their work proves that voting matters. Black votes always matter. Black people in the millions in Georgia (like in Atlanta, Savannah, etc.), Philadelphia, in Pittsburgh, in Detroit, in Milwaukee, and in other places of the United States of America made a difference. These people from Abrams to Brown have fought hard to fight voter suppression in Georgia and throughout America. The GOP hypocrites lecture us that Democrats are using fraud. Trump made a speech so wrong and so disrespectful of claiming that counting mail in ballots is similar to theft that many major networks refused to cover him. Trump disrespects democracy with his words and rhetoric. Recently, Florida's governor promoted a virtual poll tax on voters. In Texas, many people have gone out to try to suppress voting stations in Texas. Steve Bannon was banned from Twitter for making a sick remark (of desiring to behead people.). Donald Trump Jr. said that he's ready for war. Many Trump supporters have tried to storm a ballot evaluation place in Detroit, Michigan. In Arizona, Trump supporters have tried to intimidate people including the sellout Alex Jones (who claims to be for civil liberties, but he minimizes police brutality against black people, and Alex Jones has been accused of racism plus sexism by some of his former working colleagues. Alex Jones promoted the lie that Sandy Hook was an inside job which is a lie). Yet, the people were never intimidated. They voted in person and via mail to make sure that a racist President would be voted out office. That is why organizing works, voting works, and community growth works. 

 

The ADOS movement has been exposed as coddling Trump and harboring xenophobia against black people of the African Diaspora for years. One of its co-founder Yvette Carnell wore a MAGA hat and then deleted the video. She opposes birthright citizenship, etc. So, it is the far right involved in voter suppression nationwide. Now, Pennsylvania has Biden leading making the state blue. This is certainly exciting news. Kamala Harris being the first black Vice President of American history is very historic too. These events prove that faith matters, and the skeptics are wrong. Most of our black people voted against Trump. I voted against Trump. We should always remember the deluded folks who voted for Trump like: Lil Wayne, Herschel Walker, Vernon Jones, Candace Owens, and others who care more for a racist extremist than the liberation of black people. We know that black voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia ended the Trump Presidency along with Latino voters in Arizona and Nevada. This is the beginning of the end of the dangerous, terrible Trump administration. It's time to move forward.


 
Also, we shouldn't be dismayed. A lot of religious deception is going around, when some people want to make the bogus claim that we must support Trump or we're anti-God. Paula White and Pat Roberston (who is known for make false predictions of the past, and he disrespected Haitian people years ago. I haven't forgotten) are known Trump supporters. Paula White made the erroneous charge that forces of evil are trying the steal the election for Trump. Paula White is the same person who ignores the fact that Trump said that he does't ask God for forgiveness, she omits the Trump used a policy to rip the arms of babies from their mothers at the border (which violates the concept of helping your neighbor or the sojourner), and she omits that Trump is notorious to defend taxpayer dollars to fund existing racist Confederate monuments. Pat Robertson made the prediction that Trump will be re-elected. Now, it seems that Robertson is once again a false prophet. The Republican extremists aren't interested in trying to gain more black votes, but preserve the status quo system of oligarchy and racial oppression. Many Trump lawsuits have been readily dismissed by courts across America, because these lawsuits are baseless plus without merit (as explained by even Republican Representative Will Hurd). Every American has the right to have his or her vote counted without lies. 
 
Paula White sugarcoats Trump's racism, because she benefits from that Trump administration. Pat Robertson and Paula White support Trump, who is a male who habitually lies, tries to suppress the mail in voting ballots, and disrespects peaceful protesters in vulgar terms. Paula White is so desperate that she made the remark that God is sending African angels in America to help get a white racist re-elected. Not only is she wrong, but she is using extremism as a means for her to promote her agenda. Anyone who voted for Trump voted for a guy who is a white racist, a pathological liar, an adulterer, a vulgar person (who even said perverted words about his own daughter that I won't repeat here), and a notorious sexist. These Trump supporters are hypocrites to lecture others on personal responsibility, family values, and morality when Trump lacks true morality. I didn't vote for Trump, and I am happy about that.
 
 
Soon, it would be 50 years since the birth of hip hop. It is incredible to think about it. Once upon a time, many people thought that hip hop would never last long, and it was a fad. After decades of growth, controversies, and legendary musicians, hip hop is still here. As the Museum of Hip Hop will be released to the public by 2023 in New York City, we certainly recognize the massive cultural impact that hip hop has made in the world. I'm 10 years younger than hip hop is, and during my youth I learned about hip hop's diversity and resiliency.
