Dr. Umar Johnson, a prominent black activist, called out the Kamala Harris campaign for allegedly offering him $10,000 for an interview in attempts to bolster her image with the black community.

“Black vote ain’t for sale no more,” Dr. Johnson told the campaign in a video response posted to social media, going on to chastise radio host Rickey Smiley for promoting Kamala.

“My brother, that’s an all-time low. Don’t do that again,” Johnson told Smiley, referencing a recent instance in which Smiley suffered an on-air meltdown over more black people not supporting Kamala.

He went on to call out comedian Steve Harvey, claiming both men received money from the Harris campaign for their endorsements. [MORE]

According to FUNKTIONARY:

All-Hollow – a decided thing from the beginning. 2) no chance of conquering. It was all hollow. (See: Elections)

voting – a pacification (sucker) process which allows the votary to make choices provided to her/him, not decisions. 2) a “privilege” of U.S. citizens to do it behind a curtain—as long as they do it alone. 3) political masturbation exercises for those who can’t cop real power. 4) a habitually accepted imposition that gives the votary-vassal-suckers an illusion of inclusion or participation. 5) an act of self-abuse. People mistake their voting for their voice—as the voice of the people is seldom, if ever, their own. While some died fighting for the privilege (not right) to vote or not to vote, they were restricted and therefore had no choice in the matter. If voting was a right, no one would ever have had to lose his or her life in a struggle to exercise that right. The Voting Rights Act of 1964 demonstrates that voting is a civic privilege (franchise) bestowed upon a people instead of the act of voting being an inherent right where exercise of the option to vote is one’s own decision without an attached obligation (compulsion) or expectation (compunction). We need to establish and assert our economic rights and declare our “endependence” by designing, collectively owning, controlling and administering our own systems of monetary and economic exchange (that funktion in the interests of its creators and participants) so as to take ownership of our bodies, labor, and fruits of our mental assets in the form of substantive rights receipts (circulating “money” in electronic form or circulating cash). Whoever creates the symbol that acts as a claim on your labor or wealth (in the absence of any other competing system of exchange) is the true owner of same—and you remain a slave to their system of unjust enrichment for exploitative gain. When we learn to vote with our own “money” and control the systems wherein economic power is wielded, political voting will be seen for the wholesale fraud and sham that it really is so that you may one day respect yourself the morning after voting. Voting in elections (especially at the national or federal level) is an expression and confession of our powerlessness over our daily affairs, options and interests. We must dispense with the ritual of voting as the archetypal expression of freedom, equality and participation. Voting without having economic rights and control of substantive rights is voting fraud—you get what you got laid for—a royal screwing (Phillips or Flathead) and it’s your own undoing. [MORE]
