In the Texas Senate race, far left Democrat James Talarico has had an ongoing issue with black voters. His primary opponent Jasmine Crockett has said repeatedly that she believes racism played a major role in the primary and perhaps many black voters agree with her.
There is a newly surfaced recording of the vice chair of the Texas Democrats, Sheena Flanary, who is black, and she describes being basically dismissed by the James Talarico campaign, even when she tried to offer support.
The details are pretty damning.

Crockett Supporter: “We put in a lot of work, you know, to get Jasmine in. And then, what I felt like I saw, is that, you know, that they chose the White guy, is what it felt like.”
Sheena Flanary: “Yeah.”
Crockett Supporter: “You know what I mean?”
Flanary: “Yeah.”
Crockett Supporter: “It felt very, um, kind of racist.”
Flanary: “Yeah.”
Crockett Supporter: “The way it was done, just felt really like intentionally racist and sexist.”
Flanary: “Yeah. You’re not wrong. I felt it, too. And, I tried to reach out a few times and it wasn’t receptive and reciprocated. And, I’m like, ‘I’m not, why am I trying so hard? So.”
Crockett Supporter: “Oh, you mean reach out to like the Tala…(sic)?”
Flanary: “Yeah, the campaign. I’ve had a bad taste in my mouth from a few interactions that I’ve attempted to actual reach out to them, with no requests for anything, you know, on my behalf, just, you know, to try to support – and I was kind of rebuffed.
“And, I’m like, ‘Okay, so do you want Black people to help you or you don’t want Black people to help you?’ It was kind of weird.
“I mean, even me and my husband even offered to do a fundraiser for him. So, he didn’t even want our money. Which is so weird because, before this, I thought we were kind of cool.”
Crockett Supporter: “So, he’s making all these, kind of like, you know, statements to, sort of like, ensure Black support – like he would support reparations and blah, blah, blah, blah – but, it feels like you said, a little bit too late and I feel like he’s just trying to pacify Black people who he’s largely overlooked.
“Like, he has not been looking out for Black people.”
