Sisters are doin’ it for themselves, y’all. To date, approximately 603 black women are currently running for political office in the United States; in Alabama, a record 70 of the state’s 2018 candidates are black women (only two of which are Republican). Glamour magazine is featuring 18 of these hopefuls in its…
There is a saying that “no good deed goes unpunished.”
The gay son of Alabama’s newest senator, Doug Jones, just gave Vice President Mike Pence a pretty mean side eye with one look—and in that moment, he captured everything that everyone has ever felt about this deplorable administration.
Sen.-elect Doug Jones (D-Ala.), who clearly owes his slim victory over accused pedophile Roy Moore to the African-American vote, has chosen Capitol Hill veteran Dana Gresham as his chief of staff—the only black chief of staff for a Senate Democrat. And yes, that includes black Democratic Sens. Cory Booker (N.J.) and…
In a holiday miracle as wondrously joyous as that time a brown woman from the Middle East managed to give birth to a blond, blue-eyed baby, Alabama Republicans certified the Alabama Senate special-election results, effectively ending Roy Moore’s legal claims that it was impossible that so many black people voted…
Police need to make a wellness run to Roy Moore’s home to make sure he’s OK, because he isn’t handling this breakup well at all. Some weeks ago, black women in Alabama stormed on the voting booths like:
Shortly after the Alabama Senate special election, Roy Moore was allegedly seen standing outside waiting for Doug Jones’ victory tour bus. When Jones emerged, a battered and desperate Moore began singing to the senator-elect and his entourage.
Because Doug Jones was running against an accused pedophile for Alabama’s vacant Senate seat after Jeff Sessions decided that he would like to ruin the country from inside the White House, no one thoroughly vetted Jones’ politics.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Trust black women—well, except Omarosa Manigault Newman and Stacey Dash. But in general, black women will not steer you wrong. Ninety-eight percent of black women voted for Doug Jones in Alabama, and yes, black men showed up at the polls, too, against Roy Moore, with 93 percent
In the aftermath of black people showing up out of nowhere—like little Kenard who snuffed out Omar on The Wire—to kill Roy Moore and the “alt-right’s” dream of making the documentary Mr. Molester Goes to Washington, everyone wants a little bit of credit. The Democratic Party is saying, “I told y’all.” The pundits are…
After an arduous election, Alabama elected Democrat Doug Jones to the Senate over the embattled equestrian enthusiast and Republican candidate Roy Moore. For the first time in a quarter century, there will be a “D” beside the name of an Alabama senator, and you can thank black voters for that.
Black-voter turnout for…
In a long-overdue (and, frankly, yet to be seen) declaration, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez recently acknowledged the importance of black women to newly elected Alabama Sen. Doug Jones’ victory.
According to pundits, Alabama civil rights hero Doug Jones was a long shot against accused pedophile Roy Moore.
One thing is certain. Y’all don’t deserve black women. On Tuesday the Alabama Senate race took place. Roy Moore, a repugnant alleged serial child molester who believes that women should not have the right to vote, civil rights should be scrapped and slavery was lit, lost by a hair. Doug Jones, Moore’s opponent, was…
If you’ve kept up with how black women roll in American politics, what happened in Alabama last night should hardly surprise you. Per usual, black women showed up and showed out at the ballot box, helping Doug Jones win Jeff Sessions’ vacated Senate seat in what was supposed to be a safe victory for Republican…
President Lil Handsy von BackWash can never take his L like a man. After fully endorsing an accused pedophile for Congress, his candidate, Alabama’s own Roy Moore, who totally rode a horse to the voting station to vote, lost. He lost because black women, who are looking more and more like the real heroes in America’s…
The vast—the overwhelming—majority of white people living in a state in the United States of America in 2017 voted Tuesday for an alleged serial pedophile; a sentient cauldron of microwaved racist lettuce who said, out of his own wretched mouth, that every amendment after the 10th wrecked “the form of government that…
Don’t be fooled—the Democratic Party didn’t do this. The national media didn’t do this. Doug Jones didn’t even do this.
Birmingham, Ala., Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2017, 4:50 p.m. CST: A few minutes ago, I cast my ballot for Doug Jones to fill the Senate seat left empty when Jefferson Beauregard Sessions joined the Trump administration to become America’s chief of police beatings and marijuana arrests law enforcement officer.
Leonard Robinson was convicted of felony possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute by the state of Alabama more than 20 years ago. Although he doesn’t consider himself an activist, everyone who knows him understands that there is one subject that he is always passionate about. He works hard to spread the…
