The Democratic convention will feature a tribute to John Lewis. Meanwhile Republican operatives are sneaking around trying to get Kanye West on the ballot to divert a few votes from Joe Biden. I'm afraid this says it all about the two parties' attitudes towards Black Americans.

You mean like seeking a black woman as Vice President to siphen a few votes toward the Dems and away from blacks or women who might consider voting for Repubs says it all about the Dems attitudes towards Black Americans and towards women?

Just like Roger Stone says, “All’s Fair Game in Politics.”

Yeah, and the Dems and Repubs all agree with Stone there. But Pete seems to think it's only the Repubs.

The riots taking place in many major cities, fueled by baseless claims that Floyd was killed because he was black, that says nothing about the current state of the DNC?

I like the examples you picked. Very representative of all that's going on.

If only the DNC would dedicate 5 seconds to black on black violence, and the fatherlessness that causes it.
