Opinion | George Johnson: 'The truth of the matter is Black people will and have waited in line hours to vote, and it’s our tenacity that has gotten us this far despite the systems against us.' - NBCNewsTHINK
Black people must be allowed to exist — to find joy on social media and, yes, even silly fast-food rivalries — without our motives or oppression coming into question. Our support for a new trend or fad shouldn’t come with a “but.” Not to mention the very long and very sensitive history of prejudice tied to Black enjoyment of foods like fried chicken.
The “y’all will stand in line for a chicken sandwhich but won’t stand in line to vote” shit is exceedingly dumb. Black women turn out at higher rates than almost everyone, and once you account for felony disenfranchisement black men turnout at similar rates.To be very clear, the Black vote is desired because we vote in high numbers and remain one of the most loyal voting blocs in America.
