Black Adults Have the Right to Vote For A Candidate of Their Choice
Everyone makes choices everyday. It is your choice; vote for who inspires and empowers you to improve yourself and your family.
“The first duty of a man is to think for himself.” — Jose Marti.
Another silly season in the US.
Political season,
Telling black adults
What to do,
How to think,
Where to go,
When to eat,
Is that okay?
Demanding for black votes equal entitlement.
No worries.
Why do you want people to vote for you?
Show them something awesome—
Things that inspire or empower people
to improve or change their life,
Not your mansions for your family and friends,
Not your books for them to buy and make you more money,
Not your fake relationships to make them jealous,
Not your cheap T-shirt, sneakers, and concert ticket to drain their finances.
