  5. ***about the Q&A with Black candidates***

    “How do you plan to meet the needs of other districts in addition to meeting the needs of your base?" I get that we're black and all, but why isn't this is a Q for any of the others serving?“

    I have learned through the years and especially following the hardships placed on me by the City that, White people - no matter how accomplished, articulate, (White sounding or friendly) a person of color is - they almost always reduce you to the color of your skin when it comes down to political, family, financial and real estate issues. (Not all but most) The question is not asked of the White candidates because they assume that either they’ll be working in the interest of their district or find ways to shame, humiliate or otherwise make them comply. This is what colorism looks like. Most White people don’t believe they are or have any racists tendencies. They simply will not admit to it. Instead, here it comes out in this form of a question - posed only to Black candidates - “how are we going to be sure that we’ll get the service we’re looking for and accustomed to from you people? Can we count on you? Can we trust you?” That’s the ask because they’re simply not White.
