Now you are all asking what happened. I already told you what was going to happen. I’m an asshole about explaining it but so what? ---

And I long predicted that something like that would happen, and explained why. It didn’t hinge on Beyonce, but her endorsement didn’t help either. It wasn’t a big thing as it was made out to be, she is out in black culture now due to her and her husband’s association with Puff Daddy. As I said. ---

I actually demand a full retraction on the assault on my character from the mods of this board and restoration to full posting privileges as a useful member of the board. Calling me a weirdo racist and a troll specifically. ---

Maybe a mod can weigh in, but to the best of my knowledge, you were banned from one thread, not from anything else. So far as demanding a retraction, I don’t see that happening. There’s nothing for them to retract. People have been more severely modded for more egregious behavior. My advice (which I fully concede you didn’t ask for) is to just let it go. ---

No, they were up my ass anytime I posted; it sent a message that I should not be taken seriously and was effectively a soft banning from the board. I can name the thread where it started, and it had to do with Harris as VP pick. I posted shit for years on many topics before that. ---

Again, just my opinion, but I don’t see grounds for a retraction. But I don’t have a dog in this fight. ---

Exit polls are showing the almost identical support of Harris and Biden by Black people. I don’t know why split\_p\_j is crowing they’re right. ---

> [@Chisquirrel](#): > > Exit polls are showing the almost identical support of Harris and Biden by Black people. Is that true of turnout as well as % of electorate support? My understanding is that turnout was generally softer in urban areas, but I’m not up on the latest this morning. Which is not to say that I think split\_p\_j actually knows any better… ---

Both higher turnout and Black people were a higher percentage of turnout. Former significantly, latter notsomuch, at least in Georgia. ---

Black women showed up for Harris, but that was never in question. Black men in the cities of the swing states did not. More data is coming out and making this clear now, and major media is just now reporting on it, it’s not just me saying it although I predicted it. I’m surprised that no one is talking about the bomb threats to several predominate black voting areas in the swing states. These bomb threats have been linked to Russian email servers. That tracks since it coming out that a bunch of the FBA youtubers that were telling black men to just stay home are funded with Russian money. We are in a dark time, and I tried to explain what was happening. ---

I’ve explained what and why, stop acting like I didn’t. I walked it back a bit because I thought the Harris we won’t go back massage could work. ---

Going further, I think that when all the numbers are finally crunched, it’s going to be shown that it was black men in the swing states that allowed Trump to win. Namely in places like Philly and Atlanta, but there are many others like Detroit and Flint. They didn’t vote for Trump; they just didn’t vote as I said would happen The latino men came out in force and actually voted for Trump as well, but for the most part their states were going to Trump due to the white vote anyway. They just ran up the numbers. Both groups are idiots since they are both on the target list of MAGA, as am I to be fair. ---

That suppressed the black male vote. Or helped I should say. ---

So, you do understand that while yes, the overall polls will show that black people voted Harris by a large margin that is the whole country and was mainly black women and is not really a surprise. When we look further and really break down the numbers, we find that black men did not come out to vote in the critical areas of the swing states that could have flipped the whole state if they did. They didn’t vote Trump, and I want to make that clear, but effectively it does not matter. Latino men did actively vote for their own demise. It’s a huge loss for the Democrats and they are not talking about it yet, but we have to. Not that it really matters any more since the county as I’ve known it for over 50 years is over. I do want vindication here though. ---

I’ll be 53 years old next month, and I am a black male. I’m not feeble yet, but I’m not young either. This is going to be a bad time for me, I’m at the top of the maga purge list. I’ll be grouped in with the Haitian and Somalian asylum seekers when the shit hits the fan next year. I understand that, but most black men don’t. Black women do, the understand that the maga zealots are just going to see color. I’m trying to explain what happened and why.
