Even polls are now showing that "race" is at the bottom of many "white" voters' choices in this country

Dear friends,

No surprise to African Americans, however, a recent poll shows that many European Americans (so-called whites) are "clinging" to their whiteness, this election season, especially the less-educated ones that Hillary Clinton energized...

The link below is to a piece by someone who we have heard from before - Corky Siemaszko of the New York Daily News. Corky, in my biased opinion, courageously, does what few other journalists, African American, European American, or otherwise, have had the courage to do. He has exposed the reality that all African Americans already know. That is, as our dear brother Cornell West has insisted, race "matters" in America. Moreover, while I can only speak for myself, I am sure that African Americans will not let "polls" or newspaper and magazine commentaries that suggest that we do not "matter", keep us from going to the voting machines anyway. Please check out Corky's piece.

Cheers!

One Love,
G. Djata Bumpus
