First Of All with Victor Blackwell

Why Many Black Women Say They Feel Frustrated Right Now


Listen Later

According to CNN exit polls, 91 percent of Black women voted for Vice President Kamala Harris to become the first Black woman elected president of the United States. No other demographic voted for either Harris or Trump so abundantly. Now many Black women, who have long been the backbone of the democratic party, are speaking out in frustration with the election result. Victor shares a personal story and explores why – and what comes next – with Holli Holiday of “#WinWithBlackWomen” and Liz Minnella of “White Women Answer the Call.”

 

Plus, Daniel Garza joins Victor to explain why Trump made large gains with Latino voters, particularly men, and how to reconcile that support with the President-Elect’s vow to carry out mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.

 

Later, author Michael Eric Dyson reacts to racist text messages sent to Black people in more than two dozen states across the United States following the election.

 

And the FBI has been asked to help investigate the death of a Black man found hanging in an abandoned house. His widow refuses to believe the police explanation that Dennoriss Richardson’s death was a suicide. Leigh Richardson joins Victor alongside her attorney to explain why.
