... from those who claim they can be trusted.

If Biden wants Black votes, he needs to act like it and respond to Black people’s demands. Yes he predictably lost control of the House in the 2022 midterm elections, but he didn’t do very much when he had a congressional majority. What happened to the Voting Rights Act? Congress could have reaffirmed its original purpose and revived its enforcement capabilities with new legislation but they didn’t. They prefer to point fingers at the conservative controlled Supreme Court rather than lift a finger to do what they claim to want.
High profile Black media personalities have their positions because they will not advocate for Black people or their politics. Their job is to provide cover for the people who at best don’t want to hear from Black people or at worst actively work against them. They are on the television screen and have bylines in the right newspapers precisely because they have agreed to disappear Black people.
Be prepared for more bamboozlement under the guise of journalism. Understand that Black politics will not be part of any discussion. Making it so would create a problem for people whose goal is to win office while also excluding the people whose votes they need. Media are an important part of sham democracy. No one should expect anything more than, “But Trump!” between now and November 2024.
