Black men are not alone in that experience. Most of us feel that way about the older monied white guys who emerged to tell us Dems what was good for us, that our votes didn't count cause they would withhold funds until they got their way.

I, for one, think that Joe Biden might very well have gotten to this place without all the humiliation launched by rich white men. And WTF is Geo Clooney or Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart to tell us what is good for us, bec you know, they know? They are f*cking actors.

Never mind the closeted GOPs who call themselves expats but the arrogance of a Steve Schmidt or Stuart Stevens.

All very Trumpian of them even if their wealth is only in the millions as opposed to the Peter Thiels and the Mark Zuckerbergs and the Elon Musks who seriously think their sh*t don't stink. That they are entitled to run the GOP like Oz from behind the curtain. The difference is that Republicans are good with that.

"We the people' are not and there will be a price, so if Black Men want to lean in on that, I say Kamala's your gal.
