SHOWCASE VIDEO #2 - Black women prioritize themselves with the #92PercentBrunchDay

@the_emancipator,, January 18, 2025

https://youtube.com/shorts/g1nKgTEmgyw?si=wyYeWt3U73mVc39k

Description: 
"Black women across the country are clinking martini and Bellini glasses as part of the “92PercentBrunch” campaign Saturday. The women’s brunch protest is counterprogramming to this weekend’s People’s March, which is spearheaded by a coalition of groups, many of them with feminist leadership. The hashtag #92PercentBrunch symbolizes the percentage of women who voted for Vice President Kamala Harris during the election. “I know the results of this election were very hard, but we did our part,” @aiofe714 shared on her TikTok account. Creators are sharing information about brunch events at -owned businesses in Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and other cities across the country. Black women who are part of the initiative say they are prioritizing their mental health throughout the whole weekend as a way of saying to the rest of the country — especially White women, who predominantly voted for Trump — it’s their turn to lean in and do the heavy work of resistance."

AI OVERVIEW # 1 ABOUT THE USE OF 92% AS A REFERENT FOR BLACK AMERICAN WOMEN WHO VOTED FOR KAMALA HARRIS FOR USA PRESIDENT ON NOVEMBER 5, 2024

[The following AI statement is the first result that I received on June 17, 2025 for my online request for information about the significance of 92% as a political and cultural referent for Black American women..]

"In reference to Black American women, "92%" most often refers to the percentage of Black women who voted for Kamala Harris in the 2020 US presidential election, according to online sources. This strong support for Harris, who is both Black and Asian, highlights the political engagement and solidarity of Black women in the United States, according to online sources. It's also used to represent the collective strength, resilience, and unity of Black women, according to online sources.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Political Significance:

The 92% figure is directly linked to the 2020 election, where exit polls indicated that approximately 92% of Black women voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. This high percentage demonstrates the significant role Black women play in US elections and their alignment with candidates who they perceive as representing their interests, according to online sources.

Symbol of Unity and Strength:

Beyond the specific election, the "92%" has become a broader symbol of the solidarity, resilience, and collective power of Black women. It signifies their unwavering support for one another and their ability to overcome adversity.

Cultural Impact:

The "92%" has also been adopted in various cultural contexts, including apparel collections and social media movements, to celebrate and uplift Black women. These initiatives aim to foster a sense of community and pride among Black women, according to online sources."

AI OVERVIEW # 2 ABOUT THE USE OF 92% AS A REFERENT FOR BLACK AMERICAN WOMEN WHO VOTED FOR KAMALA HARRIS FOR USA PRESIDENT ON NOVEMBER 5, 2024

[The following AI statement is the second result that I received on June 17, 2025 for my online request for information about the significance of 92% as a political and cultural referent for Black American women.

I posted the same request two times since I was curious if I would receive different results for the same request.]

"In reference to the 2024 United States election, 92% represents the approximate percentage of Black American women who voted for Kamala Harris.  

Here's what this means in context: 

Strong Support for Harris: This high percentage highlights the overwhelming support for the Democratic ticket among Black women voters in the 2024 election. They are consistently a key demographic for the Democratic party.

Continuation of a Trend: This level of support is similar to the strong backing Black women gave to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Demonstration of Political Solidarity and Agency: For many Black women, this overwhelming support was not just about party affiliation but also deeply personal, reflecting their political solidarity and agency.

In summary, 92% signifies the significant and consistent support that Black American women voters demonstrated for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election."
-snip-
Much less often than the 92% referent for Black American women, I've come across the online use of 77%, or 78%, or 80% as a referent for Black American men who voted for Kamala Harris for President of the United States in that November 5, 2024 national election. 

**
Although there's an AI online statement [quoted above in this post] that exit polls of voters indicates that 92% of Black American women voted in 2020 for Joe Biden for President and Kamala Harris for Vice President, I haven't found any examples of 92% being used as a referent for Black American women prior to November 6, 2024.

**
In addition to "92%" being used as a referent for that population of Black American women voters, notice that Showcase Video #2 that is embedded in this pancocojams post features the use of the hashtag "#92PercentBrunch".  As far as I'm aware, that hashtag doesn't appear to have been used after that January 18, 2025 date, although vlogs and comments are still widespread (as of the June 17, 2025 publishing date of this pancocojams post} that instead of participating in marches and rallies protesting the Trump regime, Black American women who are part of the 92% should protest in other ways -such as boycotting certain big businesses- and instead of participating in street protests we should  92%.should rest and/or engage in relaxing activities..

If you know of any examples of the use of 92% as a referent for Black American women voters for Biden/Harris in 2020, please share that information in this post's discussion thread. Thanks!

Excerpt #2
From https://auontaianderson.medium.com/a-letter-to-the-92-of-black-women-91493cef5441 "A Letter to the 92% of Black Women"

The Honorable Auon’tai M. Anderson, Nov 7, 2024

"Dear Black Women,

Thank you. Thank you for all that you have done and all that you continue to do, often without the recognition and honor you deserve. You have carried a political party on your backs through some of the most challenging presidential elections in American history. Your unwavering commitment and your resilience have kept this nation moving forward, even when it hasn’t reciprocated the love, loyalty, or respect you’ve poured into it.

I know you’re feeling the weight of this moment, the ache of seeing America once again miss the chance to fully recognize the brilliance of a Black woman, of Kamala Harris, in the White House. But I want you to know that I, along with countless Black men, see you. We see the strength in your struggle, the sacrifices you make, and the grace with which you carry the burdens of our community. If you need to take a moment to breathe, to step back, to rest, know that we are here to pick up that load. We are committed to standing beside you and honoring your efforts in every way that we can.

[…]

As you rest and recharge, lift your head high, for you are the queens who carry crowns that generations before you have fought to place on your heads. Do not let this country make you feel that your efforts were in vain, because without you, this nation would have faltered long ago.

We know that storms are inevitable, and we’re in one now. But as our ancestors taught us, after every storm comes the rainbow. And on the other side of this struggle, we will find the light. Together, we will hear the birds sing once more, and we will see the colors of hope and progress stretch across the sky, a reminder of the beauty and power that follows every challenge.”…
