My, you seem bitter. While we have every right to continue to demand reparations, that doesn't mean that we should blame all establishment organs and divorce ourselves from the political process. Everybody showed up in 2008, and we got President Obama. (No, I don't want to hear about how he didn't "give" us anything, because you know that the Republicans thwarted him for spite as a matter of course.) Everybody (black everybodies, anyway) stayed home in 2016, and we ended up with the four years of hell we will have to work a decade to recover.

I agree that we should have all the black people monitoring the polls that we can find. Not because of Ukrainians, but because of the Republican haters and Proud Boy devotees who will try to stop us. AGAIN; OUR PRESENCE IS OUR POWER, and they know it.
