WE'RE NOT VOTING FOR BIDEN AGAIN

Africans in America are turning away from Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. They feel let down by their 2020 election promises. The Republicans also don’t offer much hope, so what’s the answer?

Instagram and TikTok host Mila Bratt argues that step one is to realise that the ballot is not the way for Blacks to make their voice heard. As she points out, the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 - yet African brothers and sisters are still marginalised in the US. She urges Blacks not to be fooled by Biden or whoever his rival will be come next year - nor by gimmicks like the ‘vote or die’ campaign.

She urges Africans in America instead to unite - to come together, organise, and take care of their own problems, along the model of the Black Panther Party. Have a listen to what she has to say and let us know if she’s convinced you that the hard-won right to vote is in fact a waste of time.
