That's awesome that your mom is there to help with that stuff, lol. The media likes to treat POC communities as blocs or monoliths that all believe and think the same way, and it's gotta be frustrating having all of these influences trying to make up your mind for you from the outside. Especially democrats, who I've seen many instances of libs telling black people that they're dumb for not voting Democrat when they're "the party of people of color and the oppressed," despite locking up of people of color at just as high a rate as republicans.
