The second episode — Voice of Passion features many important discussions, including Distance Learning with its opportunities and challenges, Black Lives Matter, and the need for more black people to buy more life insurance policies as a way to stop police killing blacks. When we got to politics, Salusa predicted that black women will determine the outcome of the 2020 General Election. Thus, black women deciding between Trump and Biden should depend on what black women value in a real man? How should a single mom decide whether to for Biben or Donal Trump? Who would black women see as a better to lead this country? We would like to know from black women’s perspectives.
Black women’s suffrage in American history is well documented. The 19th amendment of the constitution which gave women the right to vote did not include black women. The ratification was mainly to establish white women’s right to vote. However, black women had to wait for decades to have the right to vote. Looking at the 2020 general election and to think that the black women vote can impact the result of the election has shown proof that “black woman is the backbone”, as Nas raps on his new King’s Disease album. The untold stories of black women suggest they have raised and fed America to become this strong many would argue.
The Black Women Vote: Trump or Biden
The lesser evil principle is probably not enough to help black women pick between President Trump and Joe Biden. If Salusa is correct with his prediction, Biden will be the next president of the United States. Certainly, Biden has surrounded himself with Black Women. Picking for his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris to help deliver the blacks, Hispanics, and the Indian votes make Salusa’s prediction even more likely to come to fruition. As a black woman, daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants; therefore, Harris should be able to connect with black women and make a case for Biden.
The Democratic Party taking the black vote for granted has not been discussed so much prior to this year’s election. In fact, Biden has gone out of his comfort zone to bring the black vote to the democratic platform. “If you have a problem figuring out who to vote for between me or Trump, you ain’t black,” Biden said in an interview with Charlamagne Da God. The media had a field day with Biden to the point he had to apologize. Will this comment take away or more black voters to the Democratic Party.
Although Joe Biden is more popular among black women; however, one should not underestimate Trump’s efforts to buy the black pastors. With this in mind, many black women’s votes will probably go to Trump.
