1. Listen to black women?

Seems many voted for Biden.

2. I'm listening to a bunch of Black women in South Carolina right now. :) nt

13. Not me

I'm listening to the activists in MO who are not wanting political clout but actually want to dismantle white supremacy rather than play the same old white man's game.

3. Well, plenty of black women spoke last night. Many of them simply disagree with you.

We're going to speak just as loudly in VA, AL, LA, FL, MS, and anywhere else they're significant number of us. We are speaking loudly and proudly.

4. What is this in reference to?

5. Overwhelming majority of black women have voted for Biden so far.

We are listening.

6. Funny how people responding don't seem to realize they're proving this woman't point.

9. No, I think she's the one whose point is somewhat muddled

She's saying, don't listen to all the Black women who voted otherwise, you should only be listening to me (subtext: because if they did they would see the light).

We've all thought like that at one point or another: if people only listened to me they'd see how wrong they are. But you grow out of that to realize how myopic and frankly self-important that is. I've come to accept that most people neither think like me or, especially as I grow older, listen to me. And that, right or wrong, they have the right to their own opinions.

The truth is, opinion is going to go to where the majority is.

10. Her point is faulty. When 70% of black women vote for Biden, we *ARE* listening to them.

[George II]

11. No they aren't, not at all.

[JudyM]

14. Lots of comments of folks who apparently haven't been watching the demographics and the polling.

Young black women are being erased, and have been attempting to point this out.

[Squinch]

7. This is silly. Black women are not a big constituent for BS. Most do not plan to

vote for him. And no, that does not prove your point.

8. Who are "they?"

I don’t listen to any one specific group.

I listen to many and make up my own mind.

12. They found THE ONE. nt
