In my book, hypocrisy, double standards of leadership, not taking a firm enough stand against legislated racism and injustice, not fighting Black Nationalism (like Nelson Mandela did). Dear Our_DA Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

DA is a dying,their support base was white supremacists & liberals,& now they lose their white vote as they try to transform it with black faces; They thought they would win black voters using black faces without losing their white base; They have to go back to being white again. Which ones? Black or ultra racists. Catch 22
