113. Thank you ~ I'm a Black straight woman and I worked both
campaigns and I'm having a hard time taking all this heat and being put in the "bad people" basket.

We can either EDUCATE in a different way or keep blaming the Black Church and Black People.

I know that is not the way to go.

Let's face it, that YES on 8 AD was damn misleading and on 24 Seven.

Those WHITE people all over Hawthorne Blvd. waving yellow signs with huge YES on 8 signs Worked, damn it they worked.

I was screaming at them with my car window down and they were on every single corner for miles!

It worked folks! It worked on those that did not seek to understand and they won't understand by getting mad at them. They will dig in deeper and turn off even more.

I go to a huge Black Church and our minister always speaks in a positive way about ALL people. He never speaks about how to VOTE but about how to LOVE ALL people.

I can tell you that getting disappointed in how the AA and Latino communittee voted is real but anger is not the answer.
Education is the Answer IMO.

Let's March!
