While Covid has had us on lock down and limited restrictions for the past few years the Republican Party has been busy infecting democracy in Georgia with repressive laws. The election process has been changed to a selective process. Remove voters with different beliefs than you. Dictate what women can or cannot do with their bodies. Tell schools what not to teach. Arm as many citizens as you can with few checks and balances. Restrict access to healthcare for those most in need of it.
The Republican conservative base is hell bent on having an iron grip on controlling and dictating moral and cultural values of the people in Georgia. Using Trump led attack dogs like David Perdue, Herschel Walker, Vernon Jones we face being a State where differences are deemed un-patriotic and punishable by denying us a fair voting process. They have established positions and regulations where if they don’t like the outcome of a vote, they can remove those responsible for certifying votes with hand-picked yes men and women to maintain their power and control.
In order to counter these relentless attacks on our freedoms we need not just Democrats in key positions but Democrats with backbone and tenacity. From those that we had an opportunity to meet with and talk to we encourage your vote for these Black Slate endorsed candidates. Nikema Williams US Congresswoman Dist. 5, Lt. Governor Erick Allen, Attorney General Jen Jordan, Secretary of State John Eaves, Public Service Commissioner Dist. 3 Shelia Edwards, Ga. House Dist. 55 Inga Willis, Ga. House Dist. 56 Mesha Mainor.
Our road for a better life for our communities and children is never ending. There is no election where we can afford not to vote. Those who stand against progress do not rest and do not slumber. We must support candidates that will support and fight for us.
Early Voting begins May 2nd. We encourage you to vote early by going to an early voting location. If you can avoid voting by mail in ballot, do so as new voting laws are primed to reject your vote.
BLACK SLATE BULLETIN
ALL OUR SKIN FOLK AIN’T KIN FOLK
You wonder why Harriett Tubman carried a gun while operating the Underground Railroad? It was not only to protect herself from the slavers seeking to capture them, but it was more for those that wanted to go back to “Egypt”. It was for those that felt life without doing the master’s bidding was no life at all. Fast forward to today. COVID body surfing Vernon Jones is the epitome of a Black man gone insane. Not because he jumped ship as a Democrat to the Republican “right” side of the tracks, but because of his buffoonish antics to draw attention to his selfishness. Let’s be clear, this is not an indictment on black republicans, (at least in this article). This is a warning to any black person that would compromise the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Power Movement and the Black Lives Matter Movement. If you can justify and align yourself to be an instrument of right-wing racist politicians and their agendas of repression, we do not need you referencing anything black. Black Republicans are quick to talk about our vote being taken for granted by the Democratic Party. Yet, they have no Black agenda except for what their controlling party leaders tell them to say.
When one’s personal ego and aspirations supersede that of the race one should put on their driver’s license or any application where it asks for what race, simply fill in the blank “me”.
The Queen of anti-Semitism and racism Marjorie Green and a few cohorts seek to establish an America First Caucus within the Republican Party. Its over laying mantra and philosophy is to promote “Anglo-Saxon political traditions”. What are the Vernon Jones’, Janelle Kings’, the Tim Scotts’, the Georgia bulldog nation poster grandchild, Herschel Walker, saying about the racist Republican agenda? Nothing. We are in the midst of a fight with people trying their best to restore an unashamedly white supremacist control of this country.
With that said, it is obvious that we as a people and those supporters of our people’s agenda have no time to rest. The 2022 elections will be nastier than 2020. Republicans across this nation have made it crystal clear they mean to do whatever is necessary to dilute our political power. All of you that still do not feel the need to vote, that still say it does not make a difference, send us your stimulus check.
The battle lines are being drawn. Literally, the upcoming battle of re-districting is a battle to keep this state out of an even tighter vice grip of a callous reactionary Republican House and Senate. The redistricting process in Georgia must be completely overhauled. It needs to be taken out of the hands of politicians, Republicans and Democrats and their “backroom” deals and put it into the hands of a citizens committee. We have court room fights, boycott fights, election fights and the continuous ongoing fight to stay alive. Pick a fight to jump in. There are plenty of options. We don’t need to pick one with our own folk, unless they are skin folk and not kin folk.
