And now I'm watching people do the same thing to Jasmine Crockett.

We say we need the Democrats to win back the Senate.

We say, well, Jasmine can't win because Beto didn't win.

And Beto is a friend of mine.

But people are then simultaneously comparing James Tallarico to Beto.

But Beto didn't win.

So what makes you think that James is going to be Jasmine?

But because you lack the

political and social imagination to see a Black woman win a statewide seat in the state of Texas, you have now become the obstruction.

You have now become the thing that has declared the self-fulfilling prophecy.

Because once you say a Black woman can't win, then other people say, well, then there's no point in me trying.

And now you've created the future that you determined was impossible.

You've proven your own point, even though your point didn't have to be proven that way.

So we're making the same mistakes again, because we're not even willing to learn from recent history.

If we had listened to Black people, Confederates would have been tried for treason.

If we had listened to Black people...

People who redlined communities would not have been allowed to own future property.

If we had listened to Black people, reconstruction would have led to a flourishing of the land and of the economy for everybody instead of getting what we got with Jim Crow, which killed the economy in the South because half the people couldn't participate in it.

If we had listened to Black people, we would never have elected

a wannabe dictator the first time, let alone the second time.
