15. Yes I know.

Compared to a black woman Talrico or any white man will get the hispanic vote. They aren't voting for BW. What I am saying is that come NOV. That same hispanic vote that Talico got won't perform the same because in Nov he will be running against another white man. When the dirt starts slinging Talrico will be another Beto. I am not saying that Jasmine would have done better. What I am saying is that I need people to stop thinking that black people should automatically come out and vote in high droves for the Dem candidate. It is time that we get our tangibles.

I want people to STOP taking out vote for granted. I'm tired of hearing that the other side is awful. Yes as a BW I know that. But I am tired of holding my nose when voting. People that are not black are completely missing the point. And it to the doom of the party if people stop listening and stop opening their eyes.

My vote must be earned and its NOT promised.
