We’re getting sweaty in here from all the hot takes from Glenn Youngkin’s election victory in Virginia Tuesday night. It’s all about white supremacy; all of the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC are crediting Youngkin’s win “1,000 percent” to “dog-whistle racism.” Since we’ve heard from one tweeter that white women vote to protect their white sons, and that’s it, we thought we’d add this blue-check perspective as a companion piece.
When they say that Youngkin’s win Tuesday night was a victory for parents, know that they’re not talking about black parents.
Black parents, realize you are not who they are talking about when they say tonight is a win for “parents.”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but did prolonged school closures not disproportionately affect black students? Do residential school boundaries not disproportionately affect black students?

The way to solve those issues is totally to whip up white resentment against diversity, ethnic studies, and inclusive history.
— Citizen Chris (@citizenstewart) November 3, 2021
And the way to convince parents that critical race theory isn’t real is to couch it as “diversity” and “ethnic studies.”

School choice would most likely benefit black parents more than any other because it would be a step out of the dangerous, underperforming urban schools. So this is a big victory for them

Black parents are largely pro school choice.
— Jason Connor (@jasontconnor) November 3, 2021
Black parents also support school choice. Now cope.

It’s exactly who they are talking to. School choice is a huge win for all families

Let me guess. You know what’s best for parents of color?
— Johann Brown (@BrownianJohann) November 3, 2021
It can’t be critical race theory, because it’s not real and they don’t teach it in schools.
Don't be a hypocrite. You all know very well that the Youngkin group is diverse, otherwise you wouldn't have put in a black man with a Tiki Torch with the rest of your "white supremacists."
You lied. You got caught. You doubled down. now you're a joke.

Absolutely, black parents are too stupid to make decisions about their child's education without Democrat operatives or the government to do it for them.
That's what you're saying, correct?

Getting some, “you ain’t black!” vibes… No involved parent should want their child to buy into your prescribed mental slavery, no matter the race. pic.twitter.com/lw5TcBnQzZ

Sorry, but I’m feeling like a WINNER.

Why not? Why didn't Black parents win tonight? Who is it exactly who believes that he can keep Black parents from winning anywhere? Who gives you the right to speak for any of us?
— Chamanit (@Chamanit1) November 3, 2021
Why not? Do you think black parents are in support of race essentialism and gender ideology in the classroom?
Further, why wouldn’t I be focused on prioritizing the needs of my children rather than thinking about who “they” are talking about? https://t.co/hOu8FPJ5x6— Delano Squires (@DelanoSquires) November 3, 2021
This man must not have seen parents of many races speaking against CRT these past months.
— Peter Garrett (@TheUnrealPeterG) November 3, 2021
We don't separate black parents from any other color parents. Parents are parents and good parents put their children first. Thats what happened last night. America isn't as split as you all would like it to be. Hard for you all to grasp, I know….but it's reality and it's great

Keep the grift up though… we need more wins.

Why are people like you like this?

We left a tweet out because the original post claimed it was “whitesplaining” and we didn’t want any of that in our post. Plus it’s a shame it was taken over by Russian bots.
lol welcome to my new friends from Russia.
