Last thing: I want to challenge the line about how “today’s black elected officials” lack operation. While I agree that Evans and Meeks lack much, I don’t think it’s fair to make such a generalization about all “black elected officials.” It’s not a race divide, it’s about class, status, and their campaign donor bases above all. After all, it is Black candidates who gave us progressive victories, too! This generalized statement about Black politicians feels unfair :(
