It Is Not Black Women's Job To Save America

Today's Blog Post Is Inspired By This Video

It is not Black women’s job to save America. We did not ruin this country, and we are not responsible for fixing it either. Every single demographic in America besides Black women voted for Trump, therefore Trump is what Americans deserve. When I cast my ballot on election day, I am voting for myself and myself only. I am not thinking about Black men, nonBlack people, or the LGBT community, and I do not have to. Black women are allowed to be just as selfish as anybody else when it comes to which politicians we vote for. Anyone who has a problem with that can take it up with God.

Black women are one of the most college-educated demographics in this country. We own more homes than our male counterparts. We have one of the lowest fertility rates, but many of us are also proud mothers as well. Some of us like to live in the suburbs, while some of us prefer to live in the city. We like to travel abroad, but we also love to explore our beautiful country as well. Black women are not a monolith. Our complexity influences our politics. It is extremely narcissistic for Black men and nonBlack people to believe we are thinking of them when we vote on election day.  It is not our job to think about anybody. Go ask your mothers to think about you. Our only job is to vote for the candidate that provides us with the most sense of security and opportunity.

Contrary to popular belief, Black women also care about where their tax money is going, the influx of male immigrants flooding into the U.S., and the rising cost of living. We are also affected by inflation, climate change, and the defunding of public education. Matter of fact, we are the most affected by all of these things. NonBlack women have the privilege of falling back on their male counterparts when shit hits the fan. Men have the privilege of being seen as individuals, so they are never held accountable for voting for bigoted politicians. Black men have the benefit of being seen as individuals due to being men, but they are also granted protected class status by leftists who view them as eternal victims. That is why many of these groups have no qualms about voting so recklessly. They are protected by the patriarchy. Black women do not have that luxury. We are not just mules that exist to serve Black men and nonBlack people. We have politics of our own that impact how we vote.

Personally, I am a centrist. Here are some of my political views. 

1. I support Donald Trump’s efforts to secure the U.S. border. I am against mass illegal immigration. 

2. I do not support trans women participating in female sports and believe women have the right to defend our protected spaces from biological males. 

3. I am pro-choice and do not care if a woman chooses to have an abortion, and yes, that means for any reason. 

4. I do not support the abolishing of prisons or the police. I would love for our government to pass crime bills that are actually tough-on-crime, and I believe the police should get as much funding as they need to keep America safe.

5. I support universal healthcare and hope we shift away from healthcare being attached to our employer.

6. I want to increase the walkability of America and support the expansion of public transportation.

7. I do not support the #FreePalestine or #BLM movements.

8. I do not support mass immigration. Immigrants from non-western countries need to be screened heavily before they can become a citizen of the United States.

Notice how “Save Black men and nonBlack people!” are nowhere to be found in my politics. It is simply not my job to be concerned about them. NonBlack women are constantly supporting policies that do not benefit the female collective. Men of all races have spent the last decade dwelling in redpill/manosphere spaces that heavily engage in misogynoir. As far as I am concerned, Trump is everyone’s karma for hating Black women. Your misogynoir is now the reason you can no longer afford to buy groceries. I love it! When it comes to voting, my only job is to support the policies on the ballot that benefit me and my life as a divested Black woman. There will be things that benefit me as a Black woman that might inconvenience the lives of other people, and I simply do not care. If every teenaged Black boy around America needs to be stop-and-frisked so I, and other Black women, can feel safe, so be it. Everyone on this planet has been inconveniencing Black women since the dawn of time. My safety and peace of mind is top priority. Everything else is background noise to me.

Why do I not vote Republican? Because I cannot get behind a party that has decided to embrace anti-intellectualism in order to pander to the degenerates of American society. I was actually neutral towards the Republican party when it was run by John McCain and Mitt Romney. Once Trump took over, being a republican became about MAGA. I am repulsed by such beings. Uneducated, lower-class, antisocial white men are not a group of people I want to be around, and that is who MAGA represents. There is a reason why many Black women in Georgia voted for Jon Ossoff. Black women support those who are college-educated and embrace being intellectual, speak clearly, and know how to handle business. Those are traits many of us have within ourselves.

My politics are complex because being a Black woman is complex. I did not vote blue in this election to save America. I voted democrat to save myself and buy myself some time as I map out my future. I was not thinking about Becky, Tyrone, Connor, Pablo, Patel, or Maria. I was thinking about myself. All of these people on TikTok trying to claim that Black women saved America during this election need to either open their wallets or delete their videos. I do not care about praise. I care about action. If you truly believe Black women saved America, give $100 to the next Black women you see in real life. The same men and nonBlack women that were calling us masculine, undesirable, and bitter are now trying to get us to mule for them again by pretending to praise us. Nope. I am done with all of that. It is every man for themselves now. NonBlack women need to ask their male counterparts to save them. Black men need to lay in the bed of misogynoir they made and realize smart Black women have rightfully left them behind. The only mortal being I will ever save is my cat.
