On the US Presidential Elections 2024: “From one “Black Man” to another “Black man”: who are you voting for Harris V Trump?” Renaldo McKenzie, Creator and Host took to the streets to interview over 100 black men in Center City Philadelphia asking: Who are you supporting for President and Why, and what is the mood like in your family, neighborhood and workplace, what are they saying, who are they voting for and why?
The episode featured the first twelve (12) – fifteen (15) conversations; and it promises to be powerful as African American men discuss why they will or will not vote for the first African American/South Asian Woman. In, fact, we had some major debates as several men joined in while we were interviewing other men about who they will vote for. Some boldly shouted “Trump!” even if he is racist, they will vote for him. Others say “women are too strict!” pointing to the strictness of Mayor Cherelle Parker.
What was interesting is that men who seem to be interested in making money under the table promoted “Trump” and one man stated that the Democrats represent the party of Jim Crowe; even though we are in 2024 and that is no longer the case. Yet, many have voted already, or will vote for Harris, some for Trump.
It seems to be a split, down the middle in PA. What was interesting is that African American men supporting Trump hoping to get COVID type payout are not concerned with the accusation of Trump inciting an insurrection, and do not remember George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tyre Nichols and Eddie Irrie Zarry; and the police brutality that defined Trump’s term where he supported the police and showed no remorse for the blatant attack on “black” peoples by the police and the system. In stead, Trump continues to benefit from the same Police Union who defended the brutality of their cops on “black” people. Yet, “Black” people are out there defending and promoting the same man that has the support of his dogs who defend discrimination and police brutality and extra-judicial killings.
“Black” people forget what has been done to them by those advocating for let’s “make America Great Again,” an America yesterday that has oppressed, impoverished and destroyed the lives of “black” folk or African Americans. They forget or have no idea about how economic policy and conditions give rise to economic situations such as inflation. Prices are high today largely because of the 4 years of COVID-19 where there was very little productivity. However, Americans were getting payouts, but “black” men were getting pittance and billionaires were getting millions. By the time Harris and Biden came into office they have to now fix the economy as Obama did, applying economic policies to restrict the economy while protecting poor people’s lives during these contractionary period. “Black People forget the Affordable Act and the ways it is helping the lives of the poor, middle class or working black Americans who stand to loose a lot if Trump is able to overturn Obamacare.
Nevertheless, the “black men were resolute about their support for or against Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. Twin Brothers and host of The Neoliberal Round News Round-Up, Ricardo and Renaldo will discuss these stories and interviews this weekend on The Neoliberal Round News Round-Up.
