Black people, Wilson said, had long concluded that only Biden could defeat Trump. They didn’t all turn to Biden because they liked his centrist approach, his history on race, or because he served as vice president to the nation’s first Black president. Black voters acted strategically, she said. They used their doctorates in whiteness to ascertain which candidate would appeal to just enough white voters while still hopefully acknowledging the debt owed to Black people. Simply put, when standing in the polling booth, Black voters don’t have the luxury to vote for their dream candidate. Wilson said that while many white liberals are now celebrating the defeat of racism, she doesn’t think they’re ready to truly confront white supremacy.
