KAMALA HARRIS' SENATE SEAT: WHEN BLM SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT.

ICHEOKU says where is Black Lives Matter hell raisers when you need them? BLM is somewhat not focused on real things which should matter to black people. They seem to only show concern on things, although superficially important, but not necessarily of utmost importance for black people. When black people are senselessly murdered by their fellow black people, they don't seem to mind. When black people are not given jobs, they don't seem to care. When black people are not allowed in some neighborhoods, it is irrelevant to the BLM. When appointments are concerned, it does not worry BLM that black people are marginalized and finally when it comes to retaining what black people supposedly have won, BLM seem not to care as well. When the Supreme Court vacancy occurred, ICHEOKU urged BLM to lobby President Donald John Trump to appoint the first black woman to the Supreme Court as a replacement for Ruth Ginsburg but to no avail. 

Throughout last summer, BLM expended a lot of manpower and energy protesting throughout the streets of America which helped Joe Biden with his campaign election and without black votes, Joe Biden would have received a total drubbing from President Donald John Trump. BLM did not maximize the gains of their effort as they did not extract real commitments from Joe Biden before helping him with his campaign. Now a Senate seat vacated by the first black woman to ever make it to the Senate became vacant and instead of BLM descending on California Governor Gavin Newsom to ensure that another black woman, possibly the Mayor of San Francisco London Breed or Barbara Lee or Karen Bass or even Barbara Watters was appointed as her replacement, they went to sleep while others lobbied the governor for one of their own. 

Governor Gavin Newsom finally appointed a Hispanic male to replace a black female in the Senate, thereby closing black female's participation in the Senate. Meanwhile, American female feminists did not insist that Governor Newsom appoint another female to replace the vacated Senate seat which was previously successively occupied by females and you wonder why? Alexander Padilla's appointment now makes it the second high profile Californian Hispanic who has been sent to Washington DC as a result of Joe Biden's "election" which was made possible largely through BLM effort, the other one being Xavier Becerra. An aside however, for those saying that the seat was formerly occupied by a white female, ICHEOKU says the governor would have considered that it was the only seat occupied by a black female in the Senate or better still, at least appoint a Hispanic female instead.

It is unfortunate that when you expect Black Lives Matter to really matter or actively engage on issues of black people, they take the quiet way out, keeping mum and being inactive. It is regrettable that BLM do not usually seem to see the bigger picture and are only interested in rudimentary issues and only when a police man shoots a black person. If their effort is about black people, why not also inculcate things that will help improve black peoples' lives overall. It is sad that under Black Lives Matter's watch a once black female held Senate seat has been taken away from them and given to a Hispanic male. Why not a Hispanic female at least as by doing so, one of the implicated two issues would have been addressed, a female. But no, a total thumbing, dumbing and smackdown was carried out by Governor Gavin Newsom against blacks and females. ICHEOKU says where the feminists #MeToo activists at?
