It’s not that White Male politicians are by a rule mediocre and corrupt. It’s just that our implicit bias as White ppl has inclined us to go back to the White Male “well” too many times instead of giving candidates of other races and genders a chance to lead, and we have mediocre and corrupt leaders from scraping the bottom of that well.
Think about it: if you can only pick leadership from 15% of the population, you are not only failing to utilize 85% of the available leaders, you are also getting VERY subpar leaders once you get past the dozen or so who are the best of that 15%.
Zohran Mamdani is showing us what can be possible when we give everyone - not just White men - a chance to lead. Mayor Mamdani is brilliant, culturally diverse, and impartial. He is not beholden to ancestors embedded in the corruption of American capitalism, or to funders from that same oligarchy. Because he is not beholden to capitalists, he steers his administration toward policy that benefits everyone, not just billionaires.
As Chris Rock said in 2004, “a Black C student can’t even become a manager at McDonald’s…but a White C student just happens to be the President of the United States of America!”
When we address our own implicit bias, we will get more highly qualified, less corrupt leaders because we are drawing leadership from our entire population, and not just those who we are not scared of.
Thanks for tuning in to my first remix lol. Peace & love and blessings to you all 🙏🏼
