Black voters are expressing their dissatisfaction with this generation of Black mayors.

White conservatives wasted no time falsely blaming the wildfires ravaging much of Southern California on DEI and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

In just two days, three men of color were killed by LAPD, one of which involved a Black man who was having a mental health crisis. 

Black folks broke down plenty of barriers this year.

Karen Bass is already making powerful moves in her new role as the Mayor of Los Angeles.

She's the first Black woman to serve in that role.

The Black Ballot

Following primary elections in California, U.S. Rep. Karen Bass advanced in the Los Angeles mayor race to face billionaire former Republican Rick Caruso in a runoff in November. If she wins, she will become the city's first Black woman mayor.

Karen Bass has attracted a large amount of support from Black women voters ahead of Tuesday's California primary elections in Los Angeles, a new poll found. It's a different story for Black male voters, though.

The 67-year-old politician was named as a potential vice-presidential running mate to President Biden during the 2020 elections. Now Bass' name is being mentioned as a part of the field competing for a chance to replace the city's current mayor, Eric Garcetti, who is term-limited. 

Over a year after massive racial justice protests demanding action, Congress comes up short.
