The only black members are the candidates walking around as surrogates/uncles.

Blinded by hate, like most PLP bigots.

Well I have he is a pawn in this game. They are using him so they have someone to run. Personally, I think John should sit down. Do something positive in the community and we can stand behind you. You are about self just like Sancha. Two peas in a pod. Nothing with substance.

The last thing you want is the truth.

The last thing they want is any kind of diversity.

Dumb and looking to be accepted by a bunch of folks who only want to use them.

Whites make up a small segment of the community. The oba is a white political party and in order to win they can never have a white leader. Milkman Dunkley tried that and he received a 30-6 at the polls. The oba must run black candidates to help make the party appear diverse. That’s the truth and everyone knows this. Don’t talk and don’t tell or they will call you a racist.

Using people of color to gain more votes has proven time and time to be a losing strategy.

WHY IS THAT? Are you saying now that the whites in the party are DUMB or just keep trying political trickery every election?

Even a blind man can see why you front black men and women.

The politics of hate works. Just look at the United States and the United Kingdom.

The PLP would be irrelevant if it didnt use all this Uncle Tom language and UBP demagoguery. It is simply a tired old relic of the past just like those 40 Thieves they use to fight against.

I just wish the OBA would wake up and realize this too instead of being so polite.

Are you suggesting that they’re all dumb ?

If he can’t see he’s just being used for the color of his skin, it’s truly game over for politics in the ubpoba.

Check the results here since single seats in 2003. In 2020 OBA couldn’t even find anyone to run. Why didn’t they put you in a competitive seat John?
