If some Black millennials believe that they have the privilege of sitting out elections or voting third-party, A lot of it has to do with them believing that most likely they'll be OK in the aftermath… Meaning others saving their arses while they walk around being righteous!

The point is if they do not see what it took to gain the black vote, it really does mean that they think they've got it like that. And I'm here to say… No, you really don't.

I call them as I see 'em... maybe some my see it as Tough love, and that's OK too.

My Black daughter, now 29, was one organizing on the streets of St. Louis In the immediate aftermath of the Ferguson shooting. She absolutely understands that she doesn't have it like that, nor did her parents, nor did their parents. She's not into self-destruction in order to make a point that no one will hear in any aftermath! If that's talking down, so be it!
