Bring Back Civics!

Jermaine Dupri wants Kamala Harris to deliver.

D.L. Hughley spoke at the Democratic National Convention and formally apologized to Vice President Kamala Harris for his remarks back in 2019 in which he told his 5 million listeners that Harris locked up the brothas.

Many Black men who are backing Donald J. Trump and formerly Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. really have no logically reason to not support Harris other than the false belief Trump gave them free money and was down for the struggle.

Two men who benefited from white privilege and entitlement seem to be attracting Black men for some odd reason.

Even supporters of Harris are questioning her ability to be president.

Enter Atlanta media mogul, rapper and producer Jermaine Dupri (Mauldin). 

The legendary entertainer who founded the hip-hop powerhouse So So Def Recordings had some questions for Harris as he done his power walks.

Dupri claims that Harris hasn't done enough and she told her that "her hands are tied."

No. 1 - Harris is the Vice President of the United States. She has only limited powers as the vice president. She is an ambassador for the U.S. as well as the top legislative officer of the U.S. Senate, as the president of the Senate. In this capacity, the vice president is empowered to preside over the United States Senate, but may not vote except to cast a tie-breaking vote. The vice president is indirectly elected at the same time as the president to a four-year term of office by the people of the United States through the Electoral College, but the electoral votes are cast separately for these two offices. Following the passage in 1967 of the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the US Constitution, a vacancy in the office of vice president may be filled by presidential nomination and confirmation by a majority vote in both houses of Congress.

Cordial.

No. 2 - Congress. Any legislation that becomes a law has to pass through the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. With a hyperpartisan Congress, it is nearly impossible for anything to get done with members always voting, blocking, filibustering and showboating. 

No. 3 - Legality. Many of President Joe Biden's policies are being challenged in federal court. The U.S. Supreme Court's 6-3 far right majority has often rollback legislative and judicial decisions. It is frustrating that our courts have ruined a legacy of progress.

Dupri as well as millions of others do not know who their local, state and federal officials are. Many of the known lawmakers are considered controversial. More people know about Marjorie Taylor Greene, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Lauren Boebert, Jasmine Crockett and Nancy Pelosi  more than the own legislator.

We lost in civics because too many Americans are more inclined to vote based off their parents.
