Black Maga KICKED OUT of Ken Paxton Rally RECEIVES ZERO SYMPATHY From Americans

Thee Black Lens, Oct 20, 2026  UNITED STATES

"A viral video involving Black conservative Thelma Louise at a Ken Paxton political rally is sparking heated debate across America. Why was she reportedly kicked out of the rally, and what does this controversy reveal about race, loyalty, and belonging in the Republican Party?

In this video, we examine the viral footage, the online backlash, and the growing debate over Black conservatives, MAGA politics, racial tensions, and whether political loyalty guarantees acceptance.

 Is this an isolated incident, or does it raise bigger questions about minority representation in conservative politics? Watch until the end and share your opinion in the comments."

ARTICLE EXCERPT
From https://kinder.rice.edu/urbanedge/black-church-has-been-getting-souls-polls-more-60-years
"The Black Church has been getting ‘souls to the polls’ for more than 60 years"

Oct. 30, 2020, DAVID D. DANIELS III

"At Black churches up and down the U.S., religious slogans have been supplanted with another message in the run up to Nov. 3: Vote!

The landscape of the 2020 general election has been dotted with efforts by the Black Church — churches that have traditionally had predominantly African American congregation — to encourage voter registration, mobilization and protect against efforts to suppress the vote.

Under slogans including “Souls to the Polls,” “AME Voter Alert” and “COGIC Counts,” Black denominations and national bodies such as the Conference of National Black Churches have partnered with civil rights organizations including the NAACP in a concerted effort to increase voter turnout among African Americans.

The push comes amid deliberate tactics to make it harder for Black and Latino Americans to vote, including purges of voter rolls in communities of color, strict voter ID rules and restrictions on polling places. As a historian, I know these tactics are nothing new — nor is the role of Black Churches in countering these moves.

Black Church-led campaigns to expand and protect voting among African American reaches back to the years following the Civil War. At political forums held in churches, clergy educated congregants on political issues, regularly running for elected office themselves.

‘Give us the ballot’

Modern efforts picked up momentum during the years after World War II, especially during the era of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. Most African Americans were denied the right to vote prior to the 1965 Voting Rights Act being signed into law. As a result, Black Americans were grossly underrepresented in the political system while simultaneously marginalized within the economy and social order through racial segregation laws.

In 1957, churches and civil rights organizations got together to sponsor the “Prayer Pilgrimage of Freedom” demonstration in Washington D.C. Organized to celebrate the third anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision, which ruled school segregation unconstitutional, the event became a rallying cry for voting rights.

Speaking at the Lincoln Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr. framed the issue of voting, racial progress, and democracy in these terms:

“Give us the ballot and we shall no longer have to worry the Federal government about our basic rights.

"Give us the ballot and we will by the power of our vote write the laws on…the statute books of the southern states and bring to an end the dastardly acts of the hooded perpetrators of violence.

"Give us the ballot and we will fill our legislative halls with men of goodwill.

"Give us the ballot and we will place judges on the benches of the South who will do justly and have mercy.”

The speech came at a time when barriers to Black voting ranged from poll taxes, literacy tests to the use of voter intimidation.

To King and other civil rights leaders, the Black Church was a key institution within the pro-democracy movement. They believed its reach could be harnessed to eradicate the barriers to voting and expand accessibility of voting and enlarge the number of voters.

Rise of the PACs

A lot of Black Church-based voter registration efforts in the following decades took place under the Voter Education Project, which lasted from 1962 to 1992. The project sponsored citizenship education, voter registration and mobilization, as well as research on voting among African Americans.

Black denominations such as the African Methodist Episcopal Church also worked alongside black sororities and fraternities, civil rights agencies, masonic lodges and labor unions in voter projects such as “Operation Big Vote” and “Wake Up, Black America” to encourage voter turnout.

Meanwhile churches often served as locations for voter registration strategy meeting and forums.

[…]

These PACs emerged during the 1970s and 1980s. They led voter registration and turn-out campaigns, provided education on political issues and endorsed candidates. Both remained active even into the 2020 general election cycle.

The “Souls to the Polls” movement began in Florida during the 1990s. The concept was to organize caravans after church service on the Sunday prior to Election Day to transport Black congregants to early voting locations. By the early 2000s, the NAACP, Black denominations and other organizations had transformed “Souls to the Polls” into a national movement.”…

It's A Tradition For Black Students From North Carolina Universities To March Together To Vote (Videos from 2016-2026)

Edited by Azizi Powell

This pancocojams post showcases examples of YouTube videos of groups of Black students from various North Carolina universities marching to vote on-campus.

This pancocojams post also showcases examples of YouTube videos of Black students from various North Carolina universities marching to vote at the nearest polling place off campus because their on-campus polling place was closed to suppress the students' votes.

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
This is one of several pancocojams posts about Black American people in groups being transported to one polling place or Black people marching in a group to one polling place in order to vote in a state or national election. Referents for these "voting in groups efforts include "Souls to the polls" and "Stroll to the polls".

It's important to note that "Soul to the polls" , "Stroll to the polls", and similarly named marches have only been held and can only be held for early, in person voting in a state of the United States in which a person who is already registered to vote in that state or is registering to vote at that time in that state and then votes at that time can vote at any polling place within that state.

In contrast, the way that election day voting in those states is different from the way that early voting has occurred and currently occurs in those states. One crucial differences is that during election day voting a registered voter can only vote at a specific polling place. 

The reason why so many of these pancocojams "Souls to the polls" and "Stroll to the polls" posts focus on North Carolina is because that state's early voting process allows for people to  vote at any polling site. This means that an eligible person who is transported in that group or who marched as a group to a polling site can vote at that polling site.

In contrast, Pennsylvania (where I live) has no traditional early in person voting process. Therefore, no mass voting effort such as Souls to the polls" or "Strolls to the polls" could work there.

INFORMATION ABOUT HBCUs
from AI Overview [result of my query in October 2026]

"Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education in the United States established before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with the principal mission of serving African American students. Today, there are 107 recognized HBCUs across the country, producing significant shares of Black college and STEM graduates.

Overview and History 

• Definition: Colleges and universities founded prior to 1964 to provide education for Black Americans locked out of traditional segregated systems.

• Oldest Institution: Cheyney University of Pennsylvania was founded in 1837 as the Institute for Colored Youth.

• Land-Grant Impact: The Second Morrill Act of 1890 forced segregated states to build public Black land-grant institutions or grant admission. 

Key Statistics and Status

• Total Count: 107 accredited institutions (public and private).

• Impact: Represent roughly 3% of American colleges yet produce 20% of Black graduates and 25% of STEM graduates.

• Geographic Spread: Most are located in the American South, with Alabama, North Carolina, and Georgia hosting the highest counts."

THE TOP TEN HBCUs (based on enrollment)
from AI Overview
"Based on Fall 2024 total enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the largest Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) overall include major four-year universities like North Carolina A&T State University and Howard University, as well as unique dual-designated community colleges.

Top 10 Largest HBCUs by Total Enrollment (Fall 2024) 

St. Philip's College (San Antonio, TX) – ~14,000+ students ( dual-designated as an HBCU and Hispanic-Serving Institution)*

North Carolina A&T State University (Greensboro, NC) – ~14,000 to 15,000+ students

Howard University (Washington, DC) – ~14,500–14,890 students

Morgan State University (Baltimore, MD) – ~11,559 students

Prairie View A&M University (Prairie View, TX) – ~10,085 students

Florida A&M University (Tallahassee, FL) – ~9,313 students

North Carolina Central University (Durham, NC) – ~9,281 students

Texas Southern University (Houston, TX) – ~8,704 students

Southern University and A&M College (Baton Rouge, LA) – ~8,279 students

Alabama A&M University (Normal, AL) – ~7,295 students
-snip-
This AI Overview write-up gave https://historicallyblackcolleges.com/top-10-hbcus/ as the online source for this list:

 https://historicallyblackcolleges.com/top-10-hbcus/

That site includes brief information about popular majors and whether the university is public or private.

*It should be noted that online videos that I've happened upon disagree with that Texas university being listed as the #1 largest HBCU. Instead, North Carolina A&T is usually listed as the largest HBCU.

For instance, here's a quote from a BC A&T student in this 2024 video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CeX2Lt94_k "NC A&T State University students march to the polls", published by FOX8 WGHP, Oct 17, 2024
[at 1:05 to 1:19]
"It's important to have a convenient voting spot on campus for so many reasons. But for one, we have the largest HBCU in the entire nation. We have over 12,000 students that go her and giving them an opportunity to have easy accessible voting booths is especially important."

**
Also, here's a summary from https://youtube.com/shorts/lASzTbutYQ8?si=EK76HjHQnr8I7wSW "North Carolina college students march to the polls" published by CNN, Oct 17, 2026

"Video shows hundreds of students across North Carolina’s colleges and universities, including from the largest historically black university in the country, marching to the polls after local county officials removing polling stations located on their campuses earlier this year."
-snip-
This summary doesn't name "NC A&T" as the university that they are referencing. However, the other North Carolina colleges and universities whose students organized and participated in that march were UNCG (University of North Carolina at Greensboro) which isn't a HBCU and Bennett College, which is small women's only college that is a HBCU.
