Let s jump right in. We have already seen the results in New Hampshire and iowa , but i wonder, these states are predominately white. Should they, in today s world, have so much influence, and immediate attention that comes along with it, in terms of picking president ial nominees . Should they . The answer is no. Do they . New hampshire and iowa is the American Election process on speed. The general election would set up a voting rules to discourage communities of color from voting.

I mean, the klan is not avoiding it. Right . The extreme right wing is not avoiding the coming demographic changes in the country, but the liberal establishment avoids it and the left avoids it as well.

So, we have of course, all lives matter but we need to redress the particular obstacles that some of our citizens and other People Living in this space faced in just daytoday survival.
