Good question. The Democrats have made it very clear that they only want votes from Black citizens, and have no interest in providing anything "tangible" and "specific" to said citizens. So my counter to that would be to not vote for them. They can keep their barbecues and their line dancing and they can keep their hot sauce in their purses until they can bring real results.
I would never tell anyone to not vote, but I don't see any problem with not voting....as long as there is action behind it. So in addition to that, Black citizens have to do our fair share of organizing; we have to build institutions and systems that will hold politicians accountable. Eventually we will get to a point where we can cherry-pick or groom our own candidates (Congressmen included) to support and execute on behalf of our demands. And we have to start somewhere. So you can disagree with Tariq and his methods, but the brother appears to be doing more than what Angela Rye or Roland Martin can offer us if you ask me.
