Mayor Pete

Dear Media:

Please let the Black community make up its own mind on Mayor Pete. We are an intelligent people capable of making choices but we don't vote as a block nor do we think with one mind. There's a word for that; I'll find it.  According to you, Mayor Pete won't make it in South Carolina because Blacks are against the gay lifestyle and won't vote for him.  With that rationale, he won't win in any state with a large Black vote.

Following your reasoning, we need to ban our musical directors from the choir stand, stop them from playing the organ (Lord, can they at least be allowed to play the Hammond B-52 organ?).  We need to repudiate our teachers, doctors, lawyers, etc. Turn on our family members (you know--the ones who aren't quite flaming but everyone knows they're sweet). I don't think there is one family (immediate or extended) who doesn't have a gay family member.
 
And, of course, RuPaul and those gorgeous drag queens or our friends with that unerring sense of style who taught us how to fix that wig, put on that make-up, told us to accessorize, sweetie, accessorize. Lord have mercy, what are we going to do with the WBNA?

See, the Idiot-in-Chief was shoved down our throats. Couldn't talk, think, or read but, by damn, we need a white MAN in office.  I mean, a three-time-divorcee who bankrupted his company at least six times; is accused of rape; a known sexual predator, etc., but he would save the country.  You bought every lie he told you and, now, look what it got us. Perhaps you should have warned us continuously about his lifestyle as much as you're warning us about Pete's.

Well, I happen to think that we'd prefer to have a sane, articulate, logical person in the White House, regardless of the sexual preference. We can, as a people, Black or white, I assure you, make up our own mind.  Don't need you to tell us.

All the Best.
