This guy was frustrated by the narrative that had been urging people of color to vote if they wanted a change to come by in the system and decided to address it. To explain how this was not a valid argument, he recounted the recent incidents of people being turned away at polling booths in Georgia and talked about how it is obstructing a change from coming by.

00:00 Hey y'all, I hope this video finds you doing well. So I wanted to talk about
00:06 what's going on today, which is really a big deal, so I really want you to focus
00:12 on what I'm saying because one of the biggest arguments I've been hearing
00:17 about all this Black Lives Matter protests and things like that are to
00:25 vote. Vote it seems to be the answer for a lot of white people to say to people
00:30 of color. Well just vote. If you don't like what's going on, vote. That's all good, but
00:36 go look at what's going on in Georgia today. In Georgia people have been turned
00:41 away because voting booths aren't working. It's noon here in Arizona, which
00:46 means it's three o'clock on the East Coast in Georgia. These people were
00:49 standing in line from 6 a.m. into the afternoon hours and never got to vote.
00:56 Stop telling people that the way to fix things is to vote and then take away
01:02 their right to vote, okay? And then criticize people because they're
01:07 standing up and protesting and saying enough is enough. Enough is enough. When
01:13 are we gonna stop this? Now we have actual voter suppression going on while
01:17 Donald Trump is on Twitter losing his mind and tweeting stuff that doesn't
01:22 even matter. When is enough enough? All right? Voter suppression is going on in
01:28 Georgia today, so stop telling these people that voting is the way to fix it
01:31 because clearly if they can't vote, they can't fix it. We need to do better, all
01:37 right? Man, as always, much love and keep fighting.
