Actor Wendell Pierce Encourages Black Men to Vote: There's Blood on That Ballot Box [VIDEO]

While speaking with MSNBC's Joy Reid on Tuesday night, actor Wendell Pierce encouraged Black men to vote by referencing those who fought for that right. 

The Democratic party is in good shape with Black female voters who normally come out in droves to support the ticket and will certainly do so in 2024. Pierce knows that if Black men come out and give the Harris ticket the same kind of support, not only with Democrats capture the White House, but important positions all over the country. 

"There’s blood on that ballot box," he said. "Remember those who died in the rivers of Alabama and Mississippi. For them, do the honor and vote."

The actor then argued that Black men should be proud to vote for Harris, saying:

"Any Black man that has an issue with a Black woman rising, they have to look at their own inadequacy. What would make you so fearful of someone who was so beloved of you, who was so loving to you, like your mother and your grandmother and your aunts and your sisters, that you cannot be proud and embolden yourself when you see someone from your community rise up?"

Pierce closed by ripping those who support Trump, "If that’s not enough for you to vote for this campaign, why don’t you go to the other and hold up a sign behind him at a rally and tap dance – that’s what they want."
