Yo, what's up rock stars? Welcome to another episode of the Hoot W Ton podcast with your host, me, London Bambi.
(01:03):
.999And today we are discussing something incredibly important, the importance of the black vote.
This episode is a call to action, a history lesson, and a reminder of just how powerful each vote can be.
Throughout history, the black vote has faced countless of challenges, and yet despite the obstacles, it's always been a force for change.
So today we're going to explore the history of the black vote in America, the barriers people have faced and overcome, and why voting in every election, especially The presidential election matters so much by the end of this episode.
(01:35):
I hope you'll feel both informed and inspired to use your voice at the polls.
.999So this is the part of the episode where I'm going to give you guys time to get settled in by grabbing something to drink, possibly eat or whatever you need to do to get your mind right to receive me. 14 00:01:50,839.999 --> 00:01:55,490 I'm going to sing a little bit of jeopardy music and then we're going to just ease on in.
(01:55):
All right, here we go.
Do do do.
Alright, hopefully you guys have settled.
You know, you got what you needed to do, and you're sitting down, you're focused, or whatever it is that you need to do to, again, hear what I'm saying.
(02:21):
Alright, now to understand the Black vote, we have to go back to the beginning of this country.
When the United States was founded, the right to vote was limited to white, land owning men.
.999Voting was seen as a privilege tied to wealth, race, and gender.
.999For Black Americans enslaved and denied citizenship, the idea of voting was almost unthinkable. 23 00:02:41,774.999 --> 00:02:44,255 Enslaved people had no legal rights.
(02:44):
And that meant absolutely no say in a government that ruled over them.
Imagine an entire community contributing to the economy, building the infrastructure of America, yet having no voice in its policies or leadership. 26 00:02:58,279.999 --> 00:02:59,719.999 Like, that is crazy.
And even after slavery was abolished in 1865, things did not just magically get better.
(03:06):
In fact, it took decades and generations of relentless efforts.
Activism before the first real cracks and voting discrimination appeared.
Let's fast forward a few years to a major turning point.
The Civil War ends, and in 1870, the United States ratifies the 15th Amendment.
This amendment was supposed to grant black men the right to vote.
(03:28):
It stated that voting rights couldn't be denied on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
.999Now, that sounds like a victory, right? Yeah, that should be a victory.
And on paper, it really was.
But in practice, this amendment faced massive opposition, particularly in the South, where local governments went to extreme lengths to prevent black people from voting.
(03:50):
Let's talk about some of these tactics. 38 00:03:52,184.999 --> 00:03:54,245 Take the poll taxes, for example.
People were charged a fee to vote in poor black neighborhoods. 40 00:03:58,54.999 --> 00:04:00,085 These fees were often unaffordable.
Literacy tests was another barrier.
Imagine walking into a polling place, being handed a complex, confusing test, often full of obscure and impossible questions designed to make you fail.
(04:10):
If you couldn't pass, you couldn't vote. 44 00:04:13,584.999 --> 00:04:16,914.999 That was crazy, right? And then there was the outright violence. 45 00:04:16,914.999 --> 00:04:23,085 Like, black voters and those who tried to register them were often met with threats and intimidation and brutal attacks.
White supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan used terror as a weapon to keep black communities away from the polls.
Now, this brings us to one of the darkest chapters in American history, the Jim Crow era.
(04:36):
.999Following a reconstruction from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s, Jim Crow laws were enacted across the South and to segregate and disenfranchise the black Americans in every possible way.
Jim Crow was designed to send a message that black Americans weren't equal citizens and a part of that message was denying the right to vote.
Southern states adopted grandfather clauses which allow only people whose grandfather had voted to bypass the literacy test and uphold taxes.
(05:04):
Well, if your ancestors was enslaved and couldn't vote, there was no way to qualify.
So an entire generation was shut out of the democratic process before they even had a chance.
Surprise, right? But even under the Jim Crow, there were brave black leaders who refused to accept silence.
Activists like Ida B.
.999Wells were on the forefront, risking their lives to organize, educate, and challenge disinjustice.
(05:29):
.999Through newspapers, speeches, and meetings, they kept the hope for change alive. 57 00:05:34,354.999 --> 00:05:38,794.999 By the 1950s and 60s, the struggle for civil rights was intensifying. 58 00:05:38,854.999 --> 00:05:45,784.999 Black Americans were organizing on a massive scale, demanding an end to segregation, discrimination, and disenfranchising. 59 00:05:46,264.999 --> 00:05:49,684.999 Voting rights became a focal point of the movement, with leaders like Dr. 60 00:05:49,684.999 --> 00:05:50,964.999 Martin Luther King Jr., 61 00:05:50,984.998 --> 00:05:54,134.999 John Lewis, and Fannie Lou Hamer leading the charge. 62 00:05:54,414.999 --> 00:05:58,904.999 One event that really shook the nation was the Selma to Montgomery march in 1965. 63 00:05:59,514.999 --> 00:06:01,924.999 Thousands of peaceful protesters, led by Dr. 64 00:06:01,924.999 --> 00:06:07,774.999 King and others, were met with violent resistance on what came to be known as Bloody Sundays. 65 00:06:08,144.999 --> 00:06:16,274.998 Marchers were attacked by state troopers with tear gas, billy clubs, and brutality, but they kept marching, even with the threat of death looming over them. 66 00:06:16,554.999 --> 00:06:26,524.999 Their courage and persistence forced the nation to confront the injustice happening in the South, and finally, that same year, we saw the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. 67 00:06:27,314.999 --> 00:06:30,44.999 Now, the Voting Rights Act was a achievement. 68 00:06:30,214.999 --> 00:06:36,994.999 This legislation outlawed the discriminatory practices that kept Black Americans from voting for nearly a century. 69 00:06:37,314.998 --> 00:06:41,824.998 Poll taxes, literary tests, and other tools of suppression were finally banned. 70 00:06:42,84.998 --> 00:06:47,764.999 And for the first time, the federal government had the power to oversee and enforce fair voting practices in the state. 71 00:06:47,819.999 --> 00:06:50,609.999 state with the histories of discrimination. 72 00:06:50,939.999 --> 00:06:56,359.999 After this act was passed, voters registration among black Americans skyrocketed, especially in the south. 73 00:06:56,619.998 --> 00:07:01,199.998 Black communities now have the power to influence local and national elections. 74 00:07:01,449.998 --> 00:07:06,849.999 But while the Voting Rights Act was a huge victory, it wasn't the end of the struggle. 75 00:07:06,849.999 --> 00:07:08,719.999 Now, let's talk about the present day. 76 00:07:08,869.999 --> 00:07:14,709.999 You might think that in today's world, voting rights would be secure, right? But unfortunately, that is not the case. 77 00:07:14,899.999 --> 00:07:19,729.999 In 2013, the Supreme Court made a decision in the case of the Shelby County v. 78 00:07:20,39.999 --> 00:07:23,270 Holder which struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act. 79 00:07:23,639.999 --> 00:07:29,979.999 That ruling meant states with histories of racial discrimination no longer needed federal approval to change their voting laws. 80 00:07:30,749.999 --> 00:07:38,569.999 Since that decision, we've seen a resurgence of voter suppression tactics so let's bring this all together and ask the big question. 81 00:07:38,779.999 --> 00:07:44,74.999 Why is it so important to vote, especially in the presidential election? Here's the reality. 82 00:07:44,244.999 --> 00:07:50,404.999 The president appoints federal judges, and these judges make decisions that impact everything from health care to voting rights. 83 00:07:50,664.999 --> 00:07:52,854.999 We've seen Supreme Court cases like Shelby v. 84 00:07:53,184.999 --> 00:07:56,134.999 Holder that have had huge impacts on black communities. 85 00:07:56,334.999 --> 00:07:58,454.999 Who sit on the Supreme Court matters. 86 00:07:58,664.999 --> 00:08:04,974.999 Who we elect as president matters, because that set the agenda and the tone for the entire country. 87 00:08:05,94.999 --> 00:08:11,634.999 Do you hear me? Okay? Okay, and it's not just the president, it's Congress, it's state, it's local government. 88 00:08:11,824.999 --> 00:08:26,994.999 When we vote, we are not just choosing a leader, we're choosing policies that affect education, criminal justice, reform, like economics, opportunities, healthcare access issues that impact our daily lives and the future of children. 89 00:08:27,224.999 --> 00:08:45,524.999 Alright, I'm, I'm, that's pretty much how I could sum it up, alright? Um, now that we understand the history, what can we do to make sure our voices are heard? We have the responsibility to show up to honor the struggle of those who came before us and to shape a future that's fair and just for everyone. 90 00:08:45,554.999 --> 00:08:48,864.998 And remember, local elections are just as important as the presidential ones. 91 00:08:49,204.999 --> 00:08:55,164.998 Every level of government has a role in creating the laws that governs the lives of others. 92 00:08:55,204.998 --> 00:08:56,104.998 Okay. 93 00:08:57,24.998 --> 00:08:58,404.999 So let's wrap this up. 94 00:08:58,854.999 --> 00:09:00,304.999 I want to leave you with this thought. 95 00:09:01,109.999 --> 00:09:06,659.999 Every time we vote, we're honoring the generations who fought, sacrificed, and sometime died to give us the right. 96 00:09:07,139.999 --> 00:09:13,449.999 Voting isn't just an action, it's a statement of who we are, what we believe, and what we hope to become as a community. 97 00:09:13,449.999 --> 00:09:15,349.999 Thank you guys so much for joining me. 98 00:09:15,389.999 --> 00:09:20,39.999 I hope this episode has given you some insight and inspiration and a sense of purpose. 99 00:09:20,299.999 --> 00:09:21,559.999 Let's keep pushing. 100 00:09:21,569.999 --> 00:09:23,859.999 Let's keep speaking up and keep voting. 101 00:09:23,899.999 --> 00:09:25,549.999 Our voices matter. 102 00:09:25,549.999 --> 00:09:27,539.998 I know I normally don't get political. 103 00:09:27,659.999 --> 00:09:29,29.999 But that's my spew. 104 00:09:29,329.999 --> 00:09:34,779.999 And you probably won't have to hear anything else about this from me for the next four years. 105 00:09:34,779.999 --> 00:09:35,299.899 So yeah. 106 00:09:35,529.999 --> 00:09:37,499.999 Today, get out and vote. 107 00:09:37,529.999 --> 00:09:47,709.998 I wanted to make sure I put this out early, this episode out early, because if I can encourage and influence you to vote, I'm not telling you to vote for it, but just use your, right to vote. 108 00:09:48,409.998 --> 00:09:49,979.998 Especially if you are a black person. 109 00:09:50,29.998 --> 00:09:50,469.998 All right. 110 00:09:50,469.998 --> 00:09:58,389.997 And we, now that you know, the history of our voting, in this country, I love you guys, be well, this election is going to be kind of intense. 111 00:09:58,439.997 --> 00:10:05,169.997 take care of yourself if you have it and you need to, you know, just kind of step outside of what's happening here in America. 112 00:10:05,179.996 --> 00:10:06,299.997 Go through my. 113 00:10:06,474.997 --> 00:10:11,394.997 old catalog of this podcast and catch up on what you need to catch up on. 114 00:10:11,574.997 --> 00:10:14,404.997 Also, I dropped a book about chakras. 115 00:10:14,414.997 --> 00:10:16,484.9965 Feel free to go on black balloon 70. 116 00:10:16,484.9965 --> 00:10:19,294.997 com and do, you know, purchase it. 117 00:10:19,324.997 --> 00:10:25,254.997 It's only 11 or you could go on one of any of my Instagrams and click the link and it will take you there. 118 00:10:25,554.996 --> 00:10:26,234.997 All right. 119 00:10:26,274.997 --> 00:10:27,4.997 I love you guys. 120 00:10:27,4.997 --> 00:10:28,414.997 And I will see you next Wednesday. 121 00:10:28,504.997 --> 00:10:29,334.997 Peace.

.999Through newspapers, speeches, and meetings, they kept the hope for change alive. 57 00:05:34,354.999 --> 00:05:38,794.999 By the 1950s and 60s, the struggle for civil rights was intensifying. 58 00:05:38,854.999 --> 00:05:45,784.999 Black Americans were organizing on a massive scale, demanding an end to segregation, discrimination, and disenfranchising. 59 00:05:46,264.999 --> 00:05:49,684.999 Voting rights became a focal point of the movement, with leaders like Dr. 60 00:05:49,684.999 --> 00:05:50,964.999 Martin Luther King Jr., 61 00:05:50,984.998 --> 00:05:54,134.999 John Lewis, and Fannie Lou Hamer leading the charge. 62 00:05:54,414.999 --> 00:05:58,904.999 One event that really shook the nation was the Selma to Montgomery march in 1965. 63 00:05:59,514.999 --> 00:06:01,924.999 Thousands of peaceful protesters, led by Dr. 64 00:06:01,924.999 --> 00:06:07,774.999 King and others, were met with violent resistance on what came to be known as Bloody Sundays. 65 00:06:08,144.999 --> 00:06:16,274.998 Marchers were attacked by state troopers with tear gas, billy clubs, and brutality, but they kept marching, even with the threat of death looming over them. 66 00:06:16,554.999 --> 00:06:26,524.999 Their courage and persistence forced the nation to confront the injustice happening in the South, and finally, that same year, we saw the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. 67 00:06:27,314.999 --> 00:06:30,44.999 Now, the Voting Rights Act was a achievement. 68 00:06:30,214.999 --> 00:06:36,994.999 This legislation outlawed the discriminatory practices that kept Black Americans from voting for nearly a century. 69 00:06:37,314.998 --> 00:06:41,824.998 Poll taxes, literary tests, and other tools of suppression were finally banned. 70 00:06:42,84.998 --> 00:06:47,764.999 And for the first time, the federal government had the power to oversee and enforce fair voting practices in the state. 71 00:06:47,819.999 --> 00:06:50,609.999 state with the histories of discrimination. 72 00:06:50,939.999 --> 00:06:56,359.999 After this act was passed, voters registration among black Americans skyrocketed, especially in the south. 73 00:06:56,619.998 --> 00:07:01,199.998 Black communities now have the power to influence local and national elections. 74 00:07:01,449.998 --> 00:07:06,849.999 But while the Voting Rights Act was a huge victory, it wasn't the end of the struggle. 75 00:07:06,849.999 --> 00:07:08,719.999 Now, let's talk about the present day. 76 00:07:08,869.999 --> 00:07:14,709.999 You might think that in today's world, voting rights would be secure, right? But unfortunately, that is not the case. 77 00:07:14,899.999 --> 00:07:19,729.999 In 2013, the Supreme Court made a decision in the case of the Shelby County v. 78 00:07:20,39.999 --> 00:07:23,270 Holder which struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act. 79 00:07:23,639.999 --> 00:07:29,979.999 That ruling meant states with histories of racial discrimination no longer needed federal approval to change their voting laws. 80 00:07:30,749.999 --> 00:07:38,569.999 Since that decision, we've seen a resurgence of voter suppression tactics so let's bring this all together and ask the big question. 81 00:07:38,779.999 --> 00:07:44,74.999 Why is it so important to vote, especially in the presidential election? Here's the reality. 82 00:07:44,244.999 --> 00:07:50,404.999 The president appoints federal judges, and these judges make decisions that impact everything from health care to voting rights. 83 00:07:50,664.999 --> 00:07:52,854.999 We've seen Supreme Court cases like Shelby v. 84 00:07:53,184.999 --> 00:07:56,134.999 Holder that have had huge impacts on black communities. 85 00:07:56,334.999 --> 00:07:58,454.999 Who sit on the Supreme Court matters. 86 00:07:58,664.999 --> 00:08:04,974.999 Who we elect as president matters, because that set the agenda and the tone for the entire country. 87 00:08:05,94.999 --> 00:08:11,634.999 Do you hear me? Okay? Okay, and it's not just the president, it's Congress, it's state, it's local government. 88 00:08:11,824.999 --> 00:08:26,994.999 When we vote, we are not just choosing a leader, we're choosing policies that affect education, criminal justice, reform, like economics, opportunities, healthcare access issues that impact our daily lives and the future of children. 89 00:08:27,224.999 --> 00:08:45,524.999 Alright, I'm, I'm, that's pretty much how I could sum it up, alright? Um, now that we understand the history, what can we do to make sure our voices are heard? We have the responsibility to show up to honor the struggle of those who came before us and to shape a future that's fair and just for everyone. 90 00:08:45,554.999 --> 00:08:48,864.998 And remember, local elections are just as important as the presidential ones. 91 00:08:49,204.999 --> 00:08:55,164.998 Every level of government has a role in creating the laws that governs the lives of others. 92 00:08:55,204.998 --> 00:08:56,104.998 Okay. 93 00:08:57,24.998 --> 00:08:58,404.999 So let's wrap this up. 94 00:08:58,854.999 --> 00:09:00,304.999 I want to leave you with this thought. 95 00:09:01,109.999 --> 00:09:06,659.999 Every time we vote, we're honoring the generations who fought, sacrificed, and sometime died to give us the right. 96 00:09:07,139.999 --> 00:09:13,449.999 Voting isn't just an action, it's a statement of who we are, what we believe, and what we hope to become as a community. 97 00:09:13,449.999 --> 00:09:15,349.999 Thank you guys so much for joining me. 98 00:09:15,389.999 --> 00:09:20,39.999 I hope this episode has given you some insight and inspiration and a sense of purpose. 99 00:09:20,299.999 --> 00:09:21,559.999 Let's keep pushing. 100 00:09:21,569.999 --> 00:09:23,859.999 Let's keep speaking up and keep voting. 101 00:09:23,899.999 --> 00:09:25,549.999 Our voices matter. 102 00:09:25,549.999 --> 00:09:27,539.998 I know I normally don't get political. 103 00:09:27,659.999 --> 00:09:29,29.999 But that's my spew. 104 00:09:29,329.999 --> 00:09:34,779.999 And you probably won't have to hear anything else about this from me for the next four years. 105 00:09:34,779.999 --> 00:09:35,299.899 So yeah. 106 00:09:35,529.999 --> 00:09:37,499.999 Today, get out and vote. 107 00:09:37,529.999 --> 00:09:47,709.998 I wanted to make sure I put this out early, this episode out early, because if I can encourage and influence you to vote, I'm not telling you to vote for it, but just use your, right to vote. 108 00:09:48,409.998 --> 00:09:49,979.998 Especially if you are a black person. 109 00:09:50,29.998 --> 00:09:50,469.998 All right. 110 00:09:50,469.998 --> 00:09:58,389.997 And we, now that you know, the history of our voting, in this country, I love you guys, be well, this election is going to be kind of intense. 111 00:09:58,439.997 --> 00:10:05,169.997 take care of yourself if you have it and you need to, you know, just kind of step outside of what's happening here in America. 112 00:10:05,179.996 --> 00:10:06,299.997 Go through my. 113 00:10:06,474.997 --> 00:10:11,394.997 old catalog of this podcast and catch up on what you need to catch up on. 114 00:10:11,574.997 --> 00:10:14,404.997 Also, I dropped a book about chakras. 115 00:10:14,414.997 --> 00:10:16,484.9965 Feel free to go on black balloon 70. 116 00:10:16,484.9965 --> 00:10:19,294.997 com and do, you know, purchase it. 117 00:10:19,324.997 --> 00:10:25,254.997 It's only 11 or you could go on one of any of my Instagrams and click the link and it will take you there. 118 00:10:25,554.996 --> 00:10:26,234.997 All right. 119 00:10:26,274.997 --> 00:10:27,4.997 I love you guys. 120 00:10:27,4.997 --> 00:10:28,414.997 And I will see you next Wednesday. 121 00:10:28,504.997 --> 00:10:29,334.997 Peace.
