    I always thought it sus that so many southern states with large black populations had very few black politicians.

    It always reeked of interference.

    Glad to see the tides are turning.

      I grew up in Georgia and left in my 20s. It is very much interference. Old plantation money runs the rural south.

    Never forget that Brian Kemp abused his position as Secretary of State to commit election interference and steal his gubernatorial election.

    As Secretly of State, he oversees gubernatorial elections. He chose to do this by violating the law by invalidating voter registrations within two weeks of the election. He did this by throwing out registrations where people’s government name didn’t match the name on their registration paperwork. So, if your name is “Deshawn” but your registration paperwork says “Shawn”, for exaple, it got thrown out. Weirdly, there were many examples of people named “William” but their paperwork saying “Bill” that weren’t thrown out. Same with Charles/Chuck and James/Jim.

    Weird, huh?

    A case was presented to the District Attorney who reviewed it and declined to press charges.

    Wasn’t the Governor of Georgia the Secretary of State and oversaw himself getting elected? He basically argues it wasn’t a conflict of interest to oversee his own election. Good riddance.

      He also selectively purged voter roles right before the election to give himself an advantage in the same election.

    Now, I’m not going to say that I distrust white people. I will say that, give a choice between an old white man and a middle-aged black woman with the identical qualifications, I’m picking the middle-aged black woman 10 times out of 10.

      Candace Owens is a middle aged black woman. Don’t use race to gauge trustworthiness. It NEVER works.

        As one myself, I second that agreement.

        And while we’re at it, I would 100% trust a black woman over any old white man to “tell it like it is.”
