Our political fight is not on a playground, but a moral battleground.

We must stand for black representation across the South.

Just going to point out at this point that one of the senators from South Carolina is Tim Scott, who is black.

And he has been in either Congress or the Senate since 2011.

But he's a black Republican, so apparently he doesn't count.

Bakari Sellers.

And again, I like Bakari.

He's a nice guy.

But this is a pretty wild take here on CNN, suggesting that nothing has changed in America between 1896 and 2026, which is strange since both he and another black host are on the air discussing it.

If a black person from 1896 woke up in 2026, the first thing they would say is,

This is wild.

You mean we had a black president already?

Like for two terms?

And we have a bunch of black Congress people?

And we have a bunch of black senators?

And the TV is filled with prominent black people?

And also we have magical machines that allow you to order anything to your door at the press of a button?

What's happening right now?

Yes, 1896 is similar to 2026 in crazy land.

So that's what the Democrats have to sell is, again, racial grievance.
