I would like to add to what Ms. Shantell Lewis said. The entire tone of this article seems disingenuous and quite frankly, odd. The ongoing theme that somehow Virginia Dems want to 'stop' Winsome Sears from becoming the first female governor of the Commonwealth is laughable. Neither she nor Gov. Youngkin has greatly benefited Virginia in general or the Black Community here in particular. This was clearly indicated in the past election where the Dems gained total control of the State legislature. To bring up Abagail Spanberger as some sort of counterpoint to Sears is also equally ludicrous, as it implies that Black Virginians (who normally vote overwhelmingly Democratic, and with good reason) will now vote against their best interest and vote for Sears PURELY because of her skin color. Do better, "Black Virginia News"
I am disappointed to see that Black News Virginia would support and publish information from Paul Goldman. Mr. Goldman revealed how he felt about having the southside of Richmond have the opportunity to have Black economic development by advocating for the prevention of the Richmond Grand Casino and created an organization to stop it. I was hoping that Black News Virginia would would not pull in individuals that do not support our community, but from this article, that doesnt matter to them. Well this will be my first and last annual subscription. I will continue to support Black News and Media outlets elsewhere. Pretty sad because there is not too many of them.
