NBC News has projected that Donald Trump has won the presidency with at least 276 electoral votes after winning Wisconsin early this morning, defeating Kamala Harris Democrats and Republicans were vying for control in Congress, with 34 Senate seats being contested and all 435 House seats up for grabs. The GOP was able to retake the Senate with wins in Ohio and West Virginia. Control of the House remains uncertain. NBC News exit polls showed that democracy and the economy were top of mind for voters, followed by abortion and immigration. Americans also were deciding on ballot measures on abortion rights and marijuana legalization, among other issues, in several states. Copied Jarvis DeBerry In his interview last week with podcast host Joe Rogan, JD Vance claimed that John Singleton’s classic 1991 film “Boyz n The Hood,” about teens trying to survive gangs and the police in South Central Los Angeles (starring Cuba Gooding Jr., Ice Cube and Laurence Fishburne) had a big influence on him as a child. He was especially fascinated, Vance said, with Fishburne’s character, Furious Styles, who in explaining why the SAT is “culturally biased” says, “The only universal part is the math.” Vance, who wrongly describes Styles’ philosophy — and the movie — as “old-school Black leftism,” argued that the movie “is saying something that I wish a lot of white liberals would hear today, which is, actually, math is not racist.” Show more Without getting into that whole debate, let’s just say that Vance’s take is not the point of the film, or even that part of the film. Styles was arguing that the SAT is racist, so it’s telling that what stuck out to Vance is that Styles made an exception for math. No one should walk away from a movie with a tragic plot-line that situates deadly gang warfare in an oppressive white context and come away thinking about what some liberals say about math. Vance also makes the mistake that so many conservatives do in labeling any Black person who calls out racism and believes in self-determination as a “leftist.” Furious Styles was conservative, but almost certainly he was not a Republican. This may explain the party’s historical misunderstanding of Black voters. If n equals the number of times that Vance has seen “Boyz n The Hood,” then n+1 is the number of times it may take him to get it. Copied
