Black Voters Gather History for Black History Month
Black Voters Respond to Biden’s Remarks
Black voters are not blind, deaf, or dumb. Black voters watched the Biden administration sign 75 executive orders, 45 presidential memoranda, 185 proclamations, and 26 notices but not one bill was written for the protection of the Black Americans [Foundational Badagry Aborigine (FBA) and Aboriginal Descendant Of Seme (ADOS)].
“I’m tired of being quiet!” said Biden about calmly persuading Democrats to pass a voting rights bill. While Biden was supposedly using calm persuading politicians, more than 30 states redistricted with extreme partisan gerrymandering. Republicans will control the electoral battlegrounds of Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas for the next 10 years.
If Biden was having quiet conversations with members of Congress for two months before the January 17th attempted vote does that mean Biden signed a flurry of executive actions dismantling former President Trump’s policies throughout the year with no concern for the rights of Black voters? Although more than 8,000 Anti-Black hate crimes were committed against Black people in 2020, Executive Orders and Hate Crime Bills signed in 2021 only protected Asians, Natives, and LGBTQ communities.
Response
And how did the Black community respond? They mobilized. Mobilized in ways not seen by the naked eye, online. You can find Black voters online in Twitter Spaces or Clubhouse rooms. Black voters are having federal conversations and building strategic plans in online spaces. We even have our own cryptocurrency, AFRO, the cryptocurrency for reparations.
The message from Black voters is clear, this Black History Month voters are gathering their historical data. Spend February gathering your ancestorial history. Political analyst Lincoln Mitchell said the president’s power to influence members of Congress has always been limited. However, Republicans’ use of the filibuster has always been a threat — egregious federal legislation restricts voting and gerrymandered districts — to the livelihood and survival of the Black voter.
“We’re not waiting for someone to come and save us,” said Gregg “Marcel” Dixon (@Marcel4Congress), Candidate for the U.S. Supreme Court running against James Clyburn. According to Black News Channel Political Contributor, Tezlyn Figaro, Biden said the reason he hasn’t delivered for black voters is that “he needs more time.” He hasn’t had time to meet the people of the community and look them in the eye and on behalf of the Descendants of the Enslaved and Dixon we are not fooled. Blacks, especially in South Carolina, demand policies for our vote. Policies on reparations, heirs property reform, land justice, transportation, and more.
Strategic Action
Disenfranchised Black voters should spend the month of February tracing their genealogy through the 1870 United States Census and www.Ancestry.com for free. The 1870 Census was the ninth census conducted in the United States and the first census to provide detailed information on African-Americans after the Civil War. It indexes lists of names and images of populations inhabiting the United States in 1870.
You can also research your ancestors by visiting Clayton Genealogical Library’s digital materials on Family Search’s website. Ancestry offers the Descendants of enslaved an opportunity to search for personal connections to their historical data in the Freedmen’s Bureau Collection. Simply create a free account at www.Ancestry.com/Freedmens to view records for free. Spend Black History Month completing the first step of our strategic plan to demand policies in exchange for your vote.
