"The majority of Black people in general tried to save this democracy. Because we all KNEW what was going to hit the fan if Trump got elected. These other cultural groups chose to vote against their own interest. Black people have been THROUGH IT in America. And we are STILL here. We were mentally conditioned to deal with hardship.

Good luck to the rest of these folks.

"I am honestly so happy to have seen the numbers return on "Who voted for who."

And seeing that Black women heard, understood the assignment, turned in the homework on time - Really says a LOT!

Thank you.

As a White woman, I'm so disappointed. We missed the lesson, we didn't understand the assignment, we didn't turn in the homework.

Predominantly, we listened to our big brothers - you know, the ones who dropped out of school, beat up your friends for their lunch money, and threatened to tell Mom and Dad if you told on him.

Yeah, that."

"My grandmother used to express to me and my siblings that if you think you learned a lesson, God will test you to see if you make the right choice this time. Now I'm not a super religious person and my older age, but certain things from her stick out. That's what happened. America runs around shouting that we're not who we used to be and we've changed and we've grown. And the test keeps being put in front of them, and they keep failing it . The selection just showed that once again, it's all talk. This lesson going to be harder to learn than they think.. it's going to be rough but we got to keep our heads up"

"God bless my sista you have so elegantly spoken for me. I gotta say the betrayal, the pain, the hurt is so real. I still cry bc it hurts to the depths of soul that black women who has shown up for everybody but up til now NEVER asked for anything in return, when we finally did ask they spat in our faces & turned their backs on us. It's rest time for Black Women. We will be standing back BUT WE WON'T BE STANDING BY 🙋🏾‍♀️"

"This 100%. We came thru. Ppl love to point out that we dont have "community". But what was that on the exit polls?! Our strong sense of justice was beaten into us and we have carried this country on our backs since we were dragged here. We tried to save America from itself several times before, this unfortunately, isnt new. I hope to be resting from America in another country before January."

"Kamala bet on women to fight for women's rights. Black women did with voting 92% for Kamala but unfortunately white women didn't learn from 2016 and once again chose their whiteness over country by voting 53% for trump! So don't protest now! The time to do that was on November 5th with your vote.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4FePFOiPnc "Rest as Resistance: Reclaiming Rest as a Black Woman" published by Latrice Kelly, Nov 25, 2024

When was the last time you rested—not out of exhaustion, but out of intention? For Black women, rest isn't just self-care; it's a radical act of resistance. systemic oppression, such as slavery and labor exploitation, deprived Black people, especially women, of rest.

Historical patterns have influenced present-day expectations of overwork and productivity. Black women disproportionately face workplace stress and burnout. Rest reclaims humanity and joy.

Share your own journey toward embracing rest.
