We as Black Democrats need to stop allowing ourselves to get caught up with these damn labels! Roland is spot on in that aspect! I don't give a damn what you call yourself, as long as you come with an agenda that is going to better my life and that of my people and community! No matter what we say or do, the GOP will badmouth us! So, let's do our thing!!!

“Stand up. Fight back.” still misses the mark. It’s time to stop being on defense ENTIRELY!!! “Stand up and FIGHT!”
