Complete side-note but props to the parents for using an actual old-school word for an atypical child name...very classy and creative.

Not too many people that haven't read a fair bit, especially older literature or unabridged material, will be familiar with winsome.

Jamaicans... more of a British background. Totally makes sense.

Press: “What is your reaction to the first immigrant black woman to be elected to Lt. Governor of Virginia?”

The squad: crickets…

It takes a lot more than putting an R on a black candidate to impress me. She is all about race....looked and sounded exactly like the worst of the dems.
"I had never heard of her and had never seen her until I watched the clip on Fox this morning."

Explains what we have been saying for DECADES.

The left media does NOT report on this type of person.

Maybe YOU need to watch FOX more OFTEN.

And WE are called the UN-educated!

Thumbs up VA’s Winsome Sears (R) is destroying the democrats racist narratives!

I hope more blacks and minorities start understanding the democrats pushing of fake fear and anger narratives about deep systemic racism and white supremacy being the biggest threat to this country…

Democrats called Condoleesa Rice the black face of white supremacy.
Democrats call Republican blacks traitors to their race.

Sears really slaps that narrative down in this article and video.
She is the epitome of The American Dream, not a victimized black woman….

It's actually Democrats destroying the racist narratives as more and more people are figuring out the scheme of these claims.

Also - as more and more black people ascend into the middle class and start our own businesses - we are not as needy anymore and government is seen differently.

Black Voters in Virginia Refuse to Be Blamed for a Major Democratic Defeat

Democrats across Virginia expressed profound disappointment Wednesday after Republicans romped to an unlikely victory in the governor’s race, an ominous sign for the Democratic Party before next year’s midterm elections.

But one group refused to be blamed for the party’s poor showing: Black voters and elected officials.

Fears about Black turnout and a lack of enthusiasm did not materialize in Tuesday’s results as former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, ran close to expected totals in the state’s majority-Black areas. Instead, Black state leaders and voters who backed McAuliffe said the results were a sign that the party could not rely on minority voters to cover its cratering totals in more white areas of the state, particularly in rural communities that voted heavily for Glenn Youngkin, the Republican businessman who won the governor’s race.


At the grassroots level, voters in Newport News also said that their support for McAuliffe did not mean they were satisfied with the performance of Democrats in Washington.

Several voters cited a radio advertisement that had been playing on local stations saying Black voters should not back McAuliffe because Democrats cared about Black communities only during election season.


“A lot of people are upset with Biden,” said William Joyner, a 54-year-old Democrat. “We have high gas prices. Everything is so expensive right now.”

He added, “Biden made promises to Black people he hasn’t kept yet.”
