Civil Rights and Voting has always been a myth.
Voting isn’t representation nor is it an engine for change or power and the day we overstand this is the day we become more dangerous to power the way the ancestors were dangerous to power. Like I said republicans and democrats do not run this country. They are middle management at best. Vanguard, State Street, and BlackRock own this corporation. They hold 25% of all shareholder votes (the only votes recognized) in America. A private sector trinity. And every politician we’ve ever voted for republican or Democrat has been, or is, operating according to what those asset managers want. If they step outside of what those asset managers want then their political careers are over. That’s the real power structure in America. So if that’s the real power structure in the US, then what is the African American’s share of that power? That power not the polling both? The actual tables and boardrooms where the real decisions are being made in real life. Of the 500 largest companies in the US, companies that move two-thirds of all US economic output, 9 or maybe 10 are ran by Black CEOs in 2026. Not 9 percent but 9 companies. That’s 1.8%. In the 70+ years the Fortune 500 existed only 28 black people have held CEO positions at those companies. I can go on but I think we need to understand power dynamics, and voting is far from it. It is a myth. Your Grandparents didn’t march for voting. They marched for what they thought would come into fruition with the rights to vote. And WE are able to now recognize the myth in this farce. Friday night I go live. Don’t miss it.
