Meanwhile at CNN: ‘White folks’ must face ‘accountability’ if Harris doesn’t win

by

Social justice advocate Angele Rye thinks white people are not doing enough to ” save democracy” and should be held accountable if they don’t come out to vote for Voce President Kamala Harris.

The political commentator turned the election angle on white people after being asked on CNN about former President Barrack Obama recently lecturing black men about supporting the Democratic presidential nominee.

“Speaking of laying this at the feet of black men and honest conversations, former President Obama was back out last night. This is the first time since he was in Pittsburgh and invoked the potential of sexism in his appeal to black men to support the vice president,” CNN anchor Victor Blackwell told Rye in an interview over the weekend.

 

“Angela, is – should there be a course correction because there was so much backlash to that framework? Was it a mistake for the former president to say what he did or to say it publicly? What was your assessment of what we heard from former President Obama?” Blackwell asked.

“You know, I think that it’s wonderful that President Obama is out hitting the trail for democracy, frankly. And what I think is a mistake is to let white folks escape the accountability that they must face for not showing up to save democracy themselves,” Rye responded, taking the head-scratching leap of comparing the events of January 6 to a “terrorist attack.”

“Like, they want to get mad at presidential candidates, right, when they don’t wear a flag lapel pin or they don’t see you pledging allegiance to the flag. That’s what they want to get upset about. Now, the face of patriotism to them looks like trying to tear down the Capitol in a terrorist attack on January 6th, 2021,” the podcast host and attorney continued.

“So the responsibility of saving democracy should be on the largest demographic in this country. That is white men and white women. I don’t want to see a women’s march with pussy hats come January if something doesn’t go right. What I want to see is for them to march their selves to the polls, including today,” Rye said.

She noted different events happening in Detroit and her efforts in addressing voters nearly two weeks from the pivotal November 5 election.

“We are doing our part. It’s time for white folks to turn their ire and their attention to each other to ensure they also do their part,” she said.
