For Black women, Stacey Abrams’s loss ‘feels like a punch in the gut’

For Black women, Stacey Abrams’s loss ‘feels like a punch in the gut’
The morning after the midterm elections, Nimay Ndolo woke up thinking about Stacey Abrams.
“I just hope that she’s okay,” said Ndolo, an online-content creator in Smyrna, Ga. “I hope she’s sitting in bed with some Starbucks. I hope her feet are up. I hope she’s talking to her mom, talking to her family.”
Most of all, Ndolo said, she hopes Abrams knows that Black women are proud of her: “I hope she doesn’t feel like she failed us.”
Abrams lost her rematch bid in Georgia’s gubernatorial race Tuesday night to Republican incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp. Some Black women and activists called it a devastating blow for Abrams, 48, a Democrat who has dedicated her career to mobilizing voters in Georgia — an effort credited with helping flip the state blue in the 2020 presidential election.
The outcome also, some said, reaffirmed a message about the racial and gender gaps that persist for Black women.
“We always have to work 10 times as hard as our White counterparts,” said Kristyn Hardy, an attorney in Atlanta. “And not only do we have one strike against us that we’re Black … we’re also a part of a second marginalized group because we’re women. And so it always seems like we’re getting the short end of the stick.”
For Ndolo, “it feels like a punch in the gut,” she said. “I was kind of hoping for a win for her, a win for all Black girls.”

Do they think she should win just because she's black?
I'm sure there are plenty of talented black women that could have put up a better challenge to Kemp but she had the financial backing for whatever stupid reason

Like what Planned Parenthood does to them?

It certainly has nothing to do with that fact that Black women Democrats are the most unlikable and retarded people on the planet.
Can't be that.

Has that fat arse conceded yet, or is she still claiming to be the de facto governor despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary?

And that's one helluva gut on that pig!
Posted on 11/10/22 at 1:50 pm to djmed
I call bullshite. No way she could feel anything punching her gut.

You punch Stacey Abrams in the gut, you could go elbow deep and she’d never feel it.

Are they saying that black women are more likely to have a gut?

Every case she loses in court is because she is a black woman. Just ask her.

Oh well, isn’t Stacey still President of United Earth?

These are probably the same people that hate Winsome Earle Sears. The Lt. Gov of Virginia.
Because she doesn't tow the left's line.

To hell with that pile of blubber

They probably don’t feel it too much with that big gut they got

Have you seen the Gatorade Fit commercial with the sweaty, black hippo working out? A dead ringer for Stacy Abrams.

You can always count on liberal black women to play the victim.
