I had kind of a nerd-out this morning. But I felt like everyone needed to know about this.

I feel the need to drop some Black history on y’all since we on the subject of hair in the 1700s: in New Orleans/Louisiana slave women could hire themselves out (meaning they worked for someone other than their masters but the master kept a portion of the pay and the rest they kept to pay for their own upkeep) as hairdressers. Many of them made enough to buy their way out of freedom. And the fancy hair thing was huge in New Orleans among the Creole and free Black people. Their hairstyles were so elaborate and beautiful in the 1700s and 1800s that a law was passed requiring WoC to cover their hair in public. After this law WoC started rocking fancy and elegant fabric for hair wraps.

on the Northern side of things free Black women owned wig factories as early as 1700s in New England

That law was called the Tignon Laws.

I’m tired of the doom and gloom “bernie is losing, we’re failing him!” posts so listen up

A polical science lesson for y’all:

Bernie is not “falling behind” and we’re not “failing him”

In fact, posts like those are MORE likely to discourage voters and kill his momentum than encourage them

At this point in the race, it is NOT ABOUT THE DELEGATE COUNT, IT’S ABOUT MOMENTUM

who has a lot of momentum right now?? BERNIE. He has done FAR BETTER THAN EXPECTED while Hillary has done much WORSE than expected

like i said delegate counts don’t really matter much right now

BUT just so everyone knows, as of 2/24 Bernie and Hillary are TIED

They both have 51 delegates each

lots of news sites are saying hillary has a huge lead on bernie with delegates because they are assuming the superdelegates are with her but that’s all just speculation Not. Fact.

Super Tuesday (on March 1st) has a lot of southern states who will most likely favor Hillary but that’s ok because

ALL DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES AND CAUCUSES ARE PROPORTIONAL

YOUR VOTE ABSOLUTELY HAS IMPACT

even if hillary “wins” some states bernie will still get delegates and THAT’s what’s important!!!!

YES get out there and vote because it’s Super Important I Cannot Stress That Enough

but also know that it’s NOT doom and gloom, bernie ISN’T DOING BADLY AT ALL and we aren’t “failing him”
