President Biden is following a script that once doomed Black voters -- and the party they supported -- by not going all out to protect voting rights.
There's the hapless victim who can't flee the monster without falling, the stubborn homeowner who won't move out of a haunted house, and my favorite: the person who walks toward, not away, from a sinister noise at night while asking, "Hello, is anyone there?"

It ended with Black voters losing faith in the leaders who were supposed to protect them.More Related News
