The Hypocrisy of African Americans Who Say they Didn't vote.
Listen now
Description
There's something I can't get out of my mind since yesterday at the Post Elections Forum held at Temple University' Africology and African American Studies department. How can  an African American professor, sit here in his Ivory Tower and say they didn't vote because African Americans have been voting for 50 years without any progress? When sitting here as a professor came from the efforts of people like Octavius V Catto who was killed on October 10, 1871, trying to get Africans involved in the electoral process. In American political democracy, nothing happens without the electoral process. But that's one step, and the fight is multifaceted. Some use politics and others use academics, while others use entrepreneurial initiatives economics, etc. It is as if all the work to get us involved was in vain. When our ability to get things done requires real actions still happening, and voting is part of that process. It's hypocrisy.
