Last week, FiveThirtyEight sought to “prove” how racist white people can still end up voting and supporting black Republicans running for office. It published “Why White Voters With Racist Views Often Still Support Black Republicans” on Nov. 10. The article was demeaning to black Republicans and anyone who supports them. As I wrote about last week, the crux of the article is how white liberals seek to delegitimize black Republicans who run for office by launching baseless accusations about their supporters. This time around, many blacks are seeing through the lies and indoctrination.

Annetta Catchings took her first leap into politics this November. She ran for mayor of Alexandria, Virginia, seeking to become the city’s first black woman mayor in its history. She took issue with the article.
