Whoopi Goldberg introduces Jenifer Lewis and a group of Black female celebrities singing “Get Your Ass Out and Vote” ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. But is this political empowerment or celebrity pandering?
On SMH with Shemeka Michelle, we’re examining why Black voters are repeatedly encouraged to show up at the polls while serious conversations about policy, political independence, and accountability take a back seat.
From Ice Cube’s Contract With Black America to Uncle Luke and the political concerns of Black men, we’re asking why political loyalty receives so much attention while substantive issues receive so little.
**Truth before feelings. No Excuses. Just Accountability.**
???? Is celebrity voter outreach empowering or insulting?
