The video has been sitting on my Patreon for over a week. Thank you to my Patreons for your feedback! patreon.com/jouelzy Watch my #FocusOnTheState series here: jouz.es/3jErdWH
Hey Jouelzy! can you talk about Thom Tillis and Cal Cunningham?
She didn't live in the US her entire life...she spent a good number of her formative years in Canada.
the only VP I *support* and will continue to support is _True Jackson, CEO_ (the former VP of Mad Fashion). love the tattoo, Jouelz x
Period lmaooo
😂
Lmaoooooo 😂🤣
Lmaooooo 😆🤣
🤣🤣🤣
“Ideological representation” is what we need that’s it that’s all. All skin folk ain’t kinfolk we need more than black/mixed faces in high places. We need substance we need a distinct agenda for Black Americans because right now we’ve constantly got nothing, nothing substantial for our communities.
THIS IS IT! THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS! I don't understand my people won't see this. Because look at the DA in Breonna Taylor's case; completely fumbled the ball. I truly believe that relying on symbolism and symbolism alone is going to be black peoples downfall. How many of these black politicians and black leaders actually have black people's interests in heart? I'll wait.
Yup 👏🏾👏🏾 Ideological representation is way more important
Kamala and Obama ride high on identity politics weaponizing “blackness” without a black agenda... Brown Skin, White Policy doesn’t help the Black community at all
@@shardeabre Absolutely agreed.
@@shardeabre absolutely
Jouelzy, how is Harris an "African American"
I thought she was half Jamaican/half Indian!?
You are correct. She's not African American, she is Brahman Indian and Jamaican...I wish people would stop saying that
She’s an American woman non the less. African American is a term used for all black Americans despite their ethnicity.
@@mezeedomah3203 its actually not, and I never said she wasn't a legal citizen of America.
So YES her nationality is "American" but she may also also have other nationalizes as well because shes live in Canada, India and I think Zimbabwe. So she may have had citizenship there too
However you seem to not understand that "African American" was created with the intention of it being used ad an ethnic term to refer to a SPECIFIC group of people with a specific history. "African Americans" are the people who identity as being racially Black whos ancestors were enslaved on the body of land we now call The United States of America. Thats NOT who Kamala Harris is
@@mezeedomah3203 people dont seen to understand that African American isn't meant for all Black people. This confusion is because
-MOST racially Black people in America ARE African America and NOT immigrants or people of Black immigrant. Ancestry like Kamala Harris or Barack Obama.
- Most people don't know the difference between race, ethnicity & nationality
- Because majority of Black in this country have been African Americans for centuries people assume all Blacks are ethnically African American
She is not African American in the traditional sense and folks take you correcting them as an attack on her Blackness. It's part of the intentional confusion that works out in her favor. People shouldn't be surprised at her stance on certain policies and how it will ultimately not translate into advancement for those that identify as AA.
Thanks for sharing this I am not apart of the patreon at this time but I will be once I get my finances together.
Love the way you tied in the other videos in this series! You introduced me to Josie Duffy Rice and her work.
Biden/Harris getting my vote by default. It is what it is at this point.
I echo this entire comment!😀
Great video. We focus so much on color of these constituents but we all know skinfolk may not be kinfolk. Trump had 4 yrs and he made a mess it’s time to give someone else a crack at fixing this mess cause the current administration is running this country as his failed real estate business.
Blacks gave Obama a chance and what did he do in return? We can’t keep excusing black politicians and vilifying white ones just bcoz of their race.
Really? I have been doing great but then again, I don't watch the news.🤦🏾♀️
So how you doing with the mess Biden made? I think trump was much better. Can't believe anyone voted for such an old guy
Thank you Jouelzy, for always teaching us about the state of us black folks. I'm always watching but never comment. Your work is truly appreciated!
Yes keep us honed in on the full picture! Enough of the blackness policing, focus on substance and being responsibly involved!
Your optimism is really rubbing off. I want to believe shit will get better... I'm not holding my breath tho
I love that you've been doing the research! Voter demographics (70% white) and how we change that (showing up)! State and local elections impact your day to day life more! Use your power. Educate yourself on civics, show up, vote, bring people with you. Hold elected officials accountable every election cycle.
i like that you included the flips from the focus on the state series! really lovely way to tie every thing together
Great video Soror! Thank you for taking the time to give us this information❤️❤️
@~8:30 Kamala is not considered African American with her Jamaican ancestry.
yeah and she’s biracial and very ambiguous looking so I wouldn’t congratulate her with any of that anyways.
? Folks. Ya’ll gonna have to throw away a LOT of pivotal black thinkers, scholars, writers, movers and shakers, artists, scientists, leaders, etc from the history of Black Americans in this nation if biracialness is suddenly a no-go. I can understand the African American argument. I am the daughter of Haitian immigrants so while I’m racialized (how others see me) as black/African American, I identify as Black or Haitian American bc there’s a specific difference and history in the experiences of Black Americans who are descendant from the enslaved and have been here a longer time: It’s different.
But after a while, even that gets...confusing bc if my descendants, 5 generations from now, are still
Visibly black and living here, having mixed with black folk who have been here longer or descendant from the enslaved-
Wouldn’t they count as African American? Or no?
Would W.E.B. Du Bois not count, despite the fact he was one of the founding thinkers of Black/African American (Africana) studies and Black theory- bc his parents came from Haiti?
Would his descendants not count?
Would Malcolm X not, because he was biracial? Even tho he identified as, was racialized as and was visibly black?
Would Frederick Douglass not count as black?
It just gets messy- bc our history here is messy. How do you draw the line- when since the inception of this nation we’ve been brought or have come from all over and eventually are absorbed into the fabric of the black experience whether you want to be or not.
Your experience becoming mine, becoming his, becoming hers, becoming my children’s, becoming theirs?
Colorism is a thing, for sure. Passing privilege- yes. And not having to carry the immediate impact of generations of trauma that is specific to what this nation has done to our communities: black, african American; etc. on your back too if you’re here as an immigrant or only one generation in.
But I’m just trying to understand: how this is a question of her blackness instead of just a conversation of colorism and lightskin privilege. She is not white passing.
I’m not trying to jump on the all skin folk are kin folk train and all of our experiences are the same- bc those are lies and not true but genuinely trying to puzzle out how that gatekeeping could possibly hold up. Genuine thoughts and questions
BlahGirl I’m gonna stop you at your second paragraph because you made our point in your argument. You are “racialized” as you said, as black in the U.S. because the way that people perceive you and your image fits (or at least, I’m taking you for your word) the image that is that of the unambiguous black person. Malcolm X and Frederick Douglass were visibly black and that’s why they were treated the way they were in life. If either of them looked like their white parent (for Malcolm, grandparent, it was his mother who was biracial, not him) they would not live the life they had and they wouldn’t be the black icons that they are. Race is not genial. It’s not based on your genotype, it’s based on your phenotype. The only exception to this is the when the one drop rule was legalized and created legal discrimination but that simply does not exist today and the race you are is the one you appear as. No cop is ever gonna pull someone over and ask, “Hey, would you mind educating me a bit on your family history and ethnic makeup so I can decide if I’m going to ticket you or not?” That award winning true story telling series about the r@c!sm those 4 boys faced in NYC? It’s called “When they see us” for a reason. It’s not “When the DNA test results come in” or “When I found out I have a bit of black ancestry”. Kamala Harris is biracial and very much looks so. She is not black and if you think for a second there is no difference between her appearance and an unambiguous blackity black black person, I’m afraid our conversation just has to end here. I’m not going to praise a Kamala for being the first “black woman” to anything when she doesn’t face half of the things that black women do.
@@Blahgirl283 fedrick douglous was never black thats what made his expiernece so different he had privallage from the rest of the slaves and all the other people you mentioned has some sort of privallage for not being fully black. Also, being the decendants of haitians is different than being african american. You just sound like you really are interested in african american sstudies but that doesn't make you african american.
@@AnandaAtHome kamala looks ambiguous majority of full black people aren't light skin with wavy hair.... sorry
I don't see myself as voting for Biden/Harris. I am voting for the ticket that is most amenable to making progressive change. The Biden/Harris ticket may not be ideal, but they are going to place competent people in cabinet positions who have interests in improving those departments and not enriching their donors (or even place unqualified donors in charge of the department!). The environment can not take another 4 years of rollbacks of policies that limit emissions. Public schools can not take another four years of Betsy Devos giving money to religious and charter schools. Stephen Miller can not be in charge of immigration policy any more! With Justices Alito and Thomas discussing the validity of marriage equality, we can not allow Trump another opportunity to place another Supreme Court Justice.
Its THIS simple. Thank you for this comment. People are seriously contemplating hell on earth as opposed to a decent level of competence🥴
Exactly & THANK YOU for posting this comment - this is what people need to hear! And if I have to look at that creepy Stephen "Wanna-Be-Hitler" Miller another 4 years, I am moving to another country!
Do you have subtitles available...
I agree with everything you mention. I love your political videos they teach me so much.
Thanks for the video! You slay! Neither candidate is good enough. This has happened election after election. We can't continue this love affair with representation as progress. Even if she was African Amer., what kind of African Amer. would address the broader group, across the nation, present a timeline of ADOS specific sufferings from slavery to the hood and have the nerve to propose the Lift Act, which is specific only to a portion of the middle class? It further complicates already complicated tax codes. Then turn around and say some ish like, "Any policy that will benefit black people will benefit all of society. Let's be clear about that. So, I'm not gone sit here and say I'm gone do something that only benefits black people. No." None in they right mind. Look it up for yourself - Does Kamala Harris support reparations. . . And look, IDC if people don't understand reparations or if they don't believe in repairs. Life changing decisions are being made regardless of what one believes. All you have to do is know that ADOS has a justice claim that is only corrected via reparations. She is standing in front of that, in her fake Timbs and the HBCU banner that she so easily picked up through her Brahmin privilege. We have to get over it, because even if she can't get the BS past people like me, she can definitely get the soros. And what is she going to do for HBCUs? Fill them with H types Visas? Even if she was the first what does it matter to the black community if she isn't going to do anything for us? So, yes. I'm taking that away from her. Not everyone identifies with whatever some people see in her or Michelle Obama. We are playing the long game, here. She ain't it. Look her policy up, forget her collegiate alum status. I appreciate the conversation and the information though.
Okay shoulder tat!
She graduated college and played the hands God gave her to get where she is at. That hand comes with some privilege. She lets her ambiguous work for her. To be honest she doesn’t fit the stereotype look of black, Jamaica or Asian and we can’t be made at her genetics.
When you say privileges, I think those "privileges" are civil rights. Civil rights that we all are entitle to. Please watch my Reignite Sandy Speaks. I would be so appreciative.
Wow joulzey did you always have that tattoo 😍
In your description box you have a camera listed and a lense. Do the lens not coming with the camera
I can't wait to see Kamala be the first and the finest in the White House
🤣🤣😂😂
girl i almost typed out your whole government. LOL 😂 you better be out here doin the Lord’s work + puttin it on UA-cam. not too many people who aren’t Black women abolitionists from California have understood how complicated this is. politically yes but also just in the feels. complicated is def the right word.
Hey beautiful 😍
Hey beautiful!! Please watch my Reignite Sandy Speaks. I would be so appreciative.
I see some people in the comments don’t live in reality lol
I feel lost. What a complicated response. I don’t know what to take away. I guess this on brand for Jouelzy’s latest push to say she is voting blue. I can see the machine in work here.
Wow... Can we discuss what you think is important? Can we discuss what you are confused about. I so appreciate your honest. Please come rock with me Tom! Please watch my Reignite Sandy Speaks. I would be so appreciative.
Great video! Ultimately people need to vote outside of presidential elections. Congress makes the laws at the federal level, state and local legislation is for state and local change. We've got to participate in all levels of government.
This presidential ballot will also have senators, judges, and local commissioners so it's more important for that reason alone to me.
Yes sister! You are educated sister, understand the importance of knowing how the system works. I need a sister like you are on my side. Please watch my Reignite Sandy Speaks. I would be so appreciative.
The first black overseer was a 'historical moment' too.
Before I get far, that tattoo is GAWGEOUS 😍😍
Lies. It’s tacky and cheapens her in my opinion. Not hating.
@@kilecan nobody asked you
Right!? The color combo is beautiful and compliments her skin (and the color shirt she’s wearing) very well.
Adrian lol we are all entitled to our opinion right ? I am not hating.
@@kilecan why are y'all yt people always trolling on our sites? Are you being paid to troll? If so how much?
I'm just trying to make it make sense. 🤦♀️
Many of y’all are missing the point. This is very informative! It stays locally. Get involved!
A disturbing number of us are missing the point - one wonders if we actually watched the video....smh
How do we get them to understand that they do these things to us because enough of us aren't actively fighting for change. Please watch my Reignite Sandy Speaks. I would be so appreciative.
Kamala isn’t African American. She’s an American of Indian and Afro-Jamaican heritage.
How do we differentiate, can you help me understand?
BlahGirl African American means someone who is descended from Africans who were specifically enslaved in the United States of America.
Africans were enslaved in various regions of the Americas. The corresponding identifier would be Afro-*nationality*. so if you’re descended from enslaved Africans in Jamaica you’re Afro-Jamaican. if you’re descended from enslaved Africans in Brazil you’re Afro-Brazilian. Afro-Colombian, Afro-Dominican, Afro-Trinidadian etc etc etc. obviously people are multi-cultural and can be descended from enslaved Africans in various American countries. But neither side of Kamala’s family is rooted in the U.S.
so although Kamala could identify as black because she has a black parent, her blackness isn’t African American; it’s Jamaican.
@@imParisthoee did she not grow up as a visibly black woman in america? She went to howard u. She a black girl of the African diaspora growing up in America. Some would argue that = AA.
I think this is difficult to speak about. White people use AA to refer to all Black people regardless of origin tbh. So if she identifies as "AA" is that because she is being asked to respond to a question/prompt as an AA woman (when they actually mean Black woman?).
Black people in the US dont even agree on these terms. So if she adopts whatever term is synonymous with Black in the elections, I think other Black people understand why.
What about the small number on African Americans who were not egret enslaved? That were in the north early. But they were always discriminated against and had civil rights struggles through generations.
Fact she isn’t a American descendent of slavery at the end of the day. She comes from the top of the Indian caste system and doesn’t relate to the majority of Black America with identity or throw them all in jail policies
i'm voting biden/harris anyways, but... i wish all those firsts went to a better black woman. she's not the worst, but it's just a disappointing ticket.
Agreed
Totally agree
Name 1 thing that Biden/Harris say they will do for the black community. We should only vote for those who earn our vote. Otherwise they are entitled. Our self worth should be higher than demanding nothing or hoping they will do something for us with no specifics.
@@chelseagalloway6913 💯💯💯Yup. I'm not voting for either racist, Biden or Trump. I am only voting down ballot, local and state. I may write in a green party for top ticket, though. Just to make a point that we are not mules for the Dems and everybody else. That mess is over.
If trump wins you idiots talking about not voting for Biden are going to eat your words
Jouelzy !!!! We need the lovecraft country reviews! These other bloggers just not breaking it down and catching all tea and giving us what we need like you can.
I view Kamala’s HBCU experience in the same manner that I do her time as a prosecutor. It was a strategic career move. They can try to massage her identity any way they want to cast their voting net far and wide. I know what is real and what is not.
what is real
Agreed it was calculated but the fact that she doesn't claim to be black until running for presidential election.
How is her going to a HBCU a strategic career move?
@@char08fal because it solidifies black support even though she's policy wise against any and everything that would benefit us overall. She played her cards to be included as one of us and therefore get our support no matter what. Well yall support I aint voting for her 🤷🏿♀️
Kamala's mother encouraged her daughters to embrace their blackness because her mother understood that her daughters were and would be viewed as black women in their country. And even if Kamala had no "black experience" as a biracial child growing up, she certainly got it real quickly when she stepped on a HBCU campus! She was surrounded by folks that looked like her and dealt with her like one of their own! She even pledged a black sorority, and if her experience is like most in the NPHC, she has life long close friendships with many of these black women from her chapter, who still today remain to be some of her closes confidant! So, although she may not have most of the cultural experiences of African Americans - her identity and her experiences are enough to say that she is a Black woman and that she is certainly one of us!!
I'm perfectly fine with a solidly moderate ticket representing the 300+ million citizens in this country, and focusing the progressive push locally.
Same!
Per usual, I never leave a Joulzy video without learning something. Thank you for this.
She is always on point with her facts as well as her opinion(s)! I appreciate her efforts to educate the short-sighted among US that think that just electing a Black person means we are progressing and we have someone who will make sure our agenda is ON THE AGENDA.
I also LOVE that she's an voracious reader (which speaks to why she's so very knowledgeable on many topics)!
I haven’t watched yet but the Biden ad I had before this video made me CAAACKLE 😭😂
Thank you for making this video, we need more people to explain the intricacies of state wide and national politics, and how important local elections are.
Indeed. I find that a lot of people that are pushing for the importance of national elections, and especially this national election don't even vote in their local elections, which in my opinion is more important because it directly influences your quality of life.
@@synthesis7 Some people who are new to voting don't know there's both! There's local election stuff happening on the ballot in the Presidential election as well, like candidates for DA, Sherriff, and local bills.
I wish more people would vote in midterm elections, which features local candidates only and happens every 2 years, but starting off by voting in these big elections every 4 years is important too.
This was a fresh breath of air! Thank you for the breakdown and articulation of both sides. So so refreshing seeing a video like this👏🏾
Thank you sister for caring and showing up for yours. Please watch my Reignite Sandy Speaks. I would be so appreciative. I am trying to free us from bondage!
Thank you for explaining the reasoning behind a VP pick
Thanks so much for this information. You are such a blessing.
A jouelzy video on my lunch break I’m spoiled today
Right! I’m eating my Publix sub in my car lol
That tattoo is 💯👌🏿
I always appreciate your take on things!
I think it is great that you have a point of view and are open to others opinions. It is important to be a critical thinker! Please watch my Reignite Sandy Speaks. I would be so appreciative.
Kamala just ain’t it, Sis ...period
Chose Trump
Tracey H nah there’s other parties
Danger Pooch, I agree that Kamala just isn't it, but what is our alternative? Trump/Pence?
Recognize that if you choose not to vote Biden/Harris it's a vote for Trump. There are no alternatives because presently we have a binary system. So you just should vote for Trump. No person you vote for that is not the actual candidates is pointless
Tyster 81 This is false. Voting is a transaction and everyone is entitled to vote however they feel best represents their interests. And Biden/Harris and Trump/Pence are not the only presidential candidates on the ballot.
As a Jamaican woman, and an HBCU graduate- I am NOT here for Kamala. At all. I appreciate this video .
At the end of the day there is no choice. Biden 2020.
False. You choose neither both sides trash
Down ballot is an option...
There was a choice but the ppl chose Joe🤷🏽♀️
@@sharstarg2414 Disagree. The democrats all dropped out and pummeled the idea of Joe being the "safe choice candidate" and the voters followed along like sheep.
There is ALWAYS a choice. Saying there is no choice is not a democracy and is not free will. Dont let anyone or any political group or influencers tell you otherwise if you do your voluntarily returning to slavery.
We love a good glam look for the fall season
Girl its the quotables for me "we need to ethically source our information" yas period
Her Record as a DA proves she’s not one ☝🏾 of us nor is she one ☝🏾 of our allies
Took notes and everything! This was so helpful. THANK YOU!!
You are, among many other things, consistent in your messaging. So, we will continue to stan.
We need change in this country. I am a proud American and I am trying to create change! Please watch my Reignite Sandy Speaks. I would be so appreciative.
We love you! Much appreciated!
The only thing I disagree with is she isn’t Black. Neither of her parents are, hbcu’s have non black students nphc allows non black ppl in their sororities and fraternities.......
If Biden is not for defunding police & will uphold capitalism, then he needs to say that and be the leader of the dem party like he claimed (which made me belly laugh when he said) and that he will keep Ilhan, AOC in check. Otherwise, this conservative democrat over here is crossing the aisle comes Nov 3rd.
I wish I could like this video a thousand times. Thank you Jouelzy for speaking about this with the nuance I too often see absent from these arguments. I am so hopeful for the moment we realize the importance of local elections
Thank you as always for keeping us informed. I enjoyed your #FocusOnTheState series. Didn't realize you had the tattoo in that last interview...I'm usually listening to these interviews while I work. I love it! And you look gorgeous as usual 😍
Sooooo awesome. As always you provide very thoughtful and insightful commentary! I am going to watch your focus on the ate series and recommend my friends watch too. Love ya J!!
Thank you for this nuance on state politics effecting the national election. I know it’s important but haven’t been able to get my head around it’s impact. This series is great!
I need that section by Sherrilyn in my phone to be replayed over and over. It was actually perfect.
The “skeeeweeweeeee’s” LMAO
I think it's complicated, because when you take a deeper look into Kamala's record beyond the headlines. Her record should definitely be analyzed and critiqued. There is a lot she did that was about reforming the system such as starting a first of its kind to agency prosecute companies polluting in primarily Black neighborhoods as DA, the first DA to stop prosecuting sex work as a crime and focusing on getting young girls who were trafficked into safe houses, the first DA to embrace re-entry programs and expunge records for those who partake in job training programs. On top of creating a bureau of police accountability in San Francisco that is still used to this day to investigate police misconduct, as attorney general she did open up investigations and prosecute police departments who showed racial bias. Not to mention, when you actually look at the data she rarely ever prosecuted folks for low level drug offenses and if she did it was charged as a misdemeanor in a time where other prosecutors were going for felonie charges. She also weakened the 3 strikes law in California and under her tenure it was never charged unless someone committed a violent crime whereas before folks were getting 25 to life for stealing a soda from the store. Public Defenders have said she was much easier to work with than her predecessors, because she would actually talk to them and try to find solutions that didn't need to result in jail. Could she have done more? Sure. But, in context of the time she was a prosecutor, she was more progressive than majority of her colleagues in the field. Not to mention in the Senate she got legislation passed in the House of Reps that legalize marijuana and expunges records, that call for racial bias training in the health field, and ending cash bail systems. However, those bills have been ignored by Mitch McConnell and not gotten passed the Senate.
Thank you Eddie! These are things I never knew. It is so important to be informed. Now a days it's complicated to get honest objective news. Thank you so much for sharing that information. I view her in a different light. Please watch my Reignite Sandy Speaks. I would be so appreciative.
Thank you for bringing these facts to the front. Some folks in the comments obviously have not done any research on KDH other than memes and disinformation.
Yasss I've been waiting for this video ♥️✨
Hey sister! There are so many intelligent conscious sisters. Please, please help me free us from bondage! Please watch my Reignite Sandy Speaks. I would be so appreciative.
Harris' past is not the only problem. Her present is a problem too. She stated in an interview that she wouldn't do anything specifically for black people and seemed to have contempt for the very idea of it. As a black attorney, the idea of Harris and Biden, who supports law and order, on the same ticket, is a terrifying idea turned reality.
_edited for clarification_ @K
You're a lawyer, but your grammar is trash??? "She stated in an interview that see anything specifically for black people and seemed to have contempt for them your idea of it." ???? Who are your trying to fool?
@@letyoufindme I was using speech to text and wasn't in the position to read what it input. But yes dear, I'm a lawyer. And yes, she said that she would not do anything specifically for black people. That, combined with not just her past but her entire career, which she spent putting away black people and hiring people who look like her, are problematic for me. It suggests that she does not identify with my people. I am tired of the, pick the lesser of two evils rhetoric. I could go on and say so much more about her, Biden, Trump, and Pence, but from your petty reply that doesn't even address the merits of my comment, I can see this isn't my audience.
Now excuse me while I have someone proof this comment for me 🙄 lest someone else doubt my credentials. By the way, what are yours?
@@Doc_McStuffins Please point me to the interview you're paraphrasing.
You're a lawyer, right? Where's your evidence for this statement "And yes, she said that she would not do anything specifically for black people."
@@letyoufindme I'm basically quoting actually, and Google is your friend. Watch her interview with The Griot. I for one am tired of people who self identify as black but don't do anything for black or people.
And this is the information age. This information is out there. You're not paying me to research for you. I did enough "lawyering" and supported my argument for why I don't support Harris by quoting her. You should be doing your own research. Again, what are your credentials since you think you can question mine? Forget that. Tired of arguing with ignorant people who just attack and refuse to do the minimum to inform themselves. Don't at me. We're done here. I can't fix foolish.
@@Doc_McStuffins I asked you for your sources because I wanted to know specifically where you are getting your information. I don't care about your feelings or what you're "tired" of or whatever else you went on about.
In the video you referenced, she name several TANGIBLE things she wanted implemented i.e. providing funding to research the maternal mortality rate and its racial disparities, providing funding for HCBUs, providing funding to educate young Black people so they can enter the STEM field, and also how she would structure the Justice Department that would then affect the day to day life of Black people around the country.
I'm confused. Would you rather her sit there and lie to everyone about reparations and making bullshit promises that we all know she can't keep? 😂
If she panders, she's criticized for pandering. If she tries to provide actionable plans and things she could do that are actually in her control, she has no plan for Black people.
There's no satisfying people
I confess that I spent quite a bit of time admiring your tattoo... Simply amazing
Wow. This was eye opening. I didn’t even think of all the other aspects. Thanks
Jouelzy you broke this down really well. I wish more people understood these things.
Thank you love! I know there's one side of the oddity that finds me everytime I talk about Kamala, but I know the message is getting through somewhere 😫.
Thanx for providing more nuance on the election from a leftist perspective.
Jouelzy, when did you get this ink?
Good stuff.
I learn so much watching your videos. Thank you 🙏🏾
I am in no way excited about the Joe/Kamala ticket but I am still voting for them. I will say we have to keep these politicians & those in power accountable to their campaign promises and such.
At the end of the day, I don't care about her race, sorority, or HBCU. Why? Mainly, I see several of our people that are not for us that are in the industry, and in local government. We Black Folks must learn to help ourselves, and not depend on government. My vote is Blue, and it wasn't due to Kamala being a sista that graduated from an HBCU, and a D9 member. Im a proud SGRHO, and only pray for better this upcoming year. Go, vote!
I really appreciate all of the work and research that you put into these videos! They’re really so informative and enlightening. Thanks Jouelzy!!!
I’ve been watching you since 9th grade. I’m now 22.... and I just want to say that YOURE SO BEAUTIFUL. I love hearing you speak lol & your makeup and hair always stays popping. I admire your intellect and how eloquently you speak
Your series has helped me understand local politics better.. thank you. This video definitely describes my thoughts/questions on VP pick Kamala Harris. Thanks Jouelzy!
Thanks for the video.I really appreciate the message that we need to focus on state politics. Although information on state politics is not always forefront in the media, I agree that these elections do make an impact. I'm tired and am usually tuned out from national elections. I still plan on participating in elections, but... girl, it be a whole mess.
😂😂 forgive me I’m fresh out but Yasssss Soror!! Love all political commentary in this fashion.. This is the one for meeeee
Lol it’s not complicated for me. Never liked her.
💅🏾👏🏾
Her record as a prosecutor she used it to lock more black men and women up for petty crimes and as a senator she has been absent. She just wants more and more power.
Who is the writer Sherrilyn Ifil named?? Anyone caught it?
You made such good points! I didn’t even think about the seats that was open if he had chosen another candidate.
@16:50 giving Ms.Phylicia Rashad tease 🥰🥰🥰
Girl, your spin is not working.
Joe Bidden had the nerve to say if we don't vote for him we are not black. Please have several sits
Thanks for info🤔👍🏾
Love this! Thank you!
thank you, this video makes me feel less crazy. I don't have to like someone's entire political record or every statement they've made. I also don't expect progressives to suddenly start winning elections left and right just because moderates haven't delivered, or for officials to magically upend the system by themselves. I feel like so many expectations are unrealistic right now. basically nothing can change my vote at this point anyway but these candidates are far from being the same
Whose to say she cant become or hasn't been becoming more progressive. Bernie voted for the crime bill back in the day. I just don't get the moving goal posts abd distractions. At any rate i agree with your comment 💯 Percent
I find it quite troubling that people still don't know race from ethnicity. No Kamala is not African American. She is half Afro-Jamaican and half Indian. You cannot erase her blackness just because she's not AA and just because you don't agree with her policies. If the debate didn't show anything else it showed she's indeed a Black woman. I also think we have to get out of the mindset of only wanting to vote for someone that's gonna do solely for the Black community. That is literally NEVER gonna happen, it doesn't even happen in societies that are majority black. I do think we need to pick candidates that have a least a plan or two or our best interest at heart. But we are 13% of the country's population and we clearly see that racism is alive and well, so if there was ever a candidate that only cared about black people (especially African Americans) we know they'd never win and then we'd still be stuck with racist, sexist, bigots as leaders like we have now. We also need to focus on local and state elections because the state has a lot more power than we give them credit for. Having a President that is for us when you live in a red state means NOTHING if the policy can be regulated at a state level.
I agree AA are more an ethnic group rather than a racial group since many if not most AA are actually mixed to a certain extent. But as an African in Africa I am confused. How can someone who is at best 25% Black & 75% something else be considered Black when Black is a classification based on race. Is she also an Indian woman bec she is 50% genetically Indian? Or a White woman since she is not only genetically 25% White but also looks more White than Black. Why can't she just be a mixed race American woman with Indian, African & yes White ancestry? Why does she have to be pigeonholed into a specific racial category when she clearly does not even look like the vast majority of that race?
I hate her but let me listen to your video
I'm not voting Trump/Pence, but trust I will be there in November to VOTE! I feel like we're our own worst enemy 🤦🏿♀️
Sometimes we are, but please don''t give up on us!I know what you are implying but those people don't understand. They see things through their experience. Kesha!!! It is our responsibility to help educate them and give them a different point of view. It is the big push for people putting themselves first. Taking care of self first! Taking care of self is taking care of people who look like you. Please help me identify the code and share the code!! Please watch my Reignite Sandy Speaks. I would be so appreciative.
