There was a story yesterday or the day before about the Mayor who was elected in the south and got blocked by the white city planners or whatever they’re called. Sure, courts ruled in his favor, but the article pointed out how Black residents hadn’t been aware that there was an election process for years because mayors kept being appointed without their input.

    I’m not saying not to vote. I’m saying that has also been neutralized in places and that’s it’s far from what its idealized state would be.
