Black Leaders: Abrams speaks for White Liberals

She lost by 55,000 votes 

Political activist and Governor of Georgia in her own mind, Stacey Abrams claims her main objective is to amplify the voices of Black Americans--but some Black Americans say otherwise.

One group of Georgia's Black leaders have made it clear that Abrams is not representing what they believe.

Black Americans for a Better Future Education Fund and the Georgia Black Republican Council co-hosted an event Tuesday and called out Abrams’ role in convincing Major League Baseball to remove this year’s All-Star Game out of Atlanta.

The move from Georgia was based on a lie. Specifically, Abrams and the Democrats claimed the voting laws in the state were biased against Black voters.

“It’s been estimated that Cobb County will lose north of $100 million in revenue and economic activity as a result of baseball’s unilateral decision to relocate the game,” Black Americans for a Better Future Education Fund founder and chairman Raynard Jackson said.

“We want to put a human face on this issue today. These are not just mere statistics and economic data that Cobb County put out.”

Jackson specifically called out Abrams by name for what he correctly said is a dishonest effort to oppose Georgia's voting laws, which she claims makes it harder for Black people to vote.

“You have one person, by the name of Stacey Abrams, who lied,” Jackson said. “She got Major League Baseball to relocate the game. She got corporations like Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola, to come out against the Georgia Integrity Act.”

The truth is, Georgia's new voting law changes actually makes it easier for all people to vote. Voting locations have been added and time to vote extended. What was made harder for Black people can be attributed to Abrams and the Democrats as they are responsible for the huge loss of revenue that would have been generated to Cobb County and specifically impact Black folks.

“Stacey Abrams doesn’t speak for the Black community,” Jackson said in a separate statement. “She speaks for the white liberals who bankroll her political ambitions.

“Stacey Abrams doesn’t actually care about making it easier for Black people to vote, she only cares about making it easier for Democrats to vote.”

Bingo!

One of the main provisions in the new laws was a requirement for voters to show a photo ID when submitting an absentee ballot.

In an interview Sunday on “State of the Union,” Abrams said the Georgia law meant voters “are being forced to go through unnecessary hurdles to prove their bona fides.”

Lisa Babbage of the Georgia Black Republican Council, said Abrams’ indication that this requirement would somehow disenfranchise black voters is “insulting.”

“Black people aren’t stupid, but Stacey Abrams treats us like we are when she suggests that we aren’t even capable of obtaining a photo ID,” she said, according to Breitbart.

This is simply an example of the hard bigotry of low expectations by the Left. It also allows cheating to take place in elections.

But perhaps Ben Shapiro is right when he labeled this kind of thinking "the bigotry of no expectations."
