Roland Martin speaks with state Rep. Jolanda Jones after her Texas Democratic Convention speech calling out the party for taking Black voters for granted. Jones says Black Texans are hurt, discouraged, and no longer willing to automatically deliver the same guaranteed votes they once gave Democrats. She argues that statewide Democrats, especially James Talarico, are failing to engage Black elected officials and Black infrastructure while funding white and Hispanic GOTV operations. Jones says the path to victory is clear: invest in Black organizers, Black media, Black polling, and Black voter turnout operations because “the road to blue goes through Black.”
