Get the Russian Conscriptionmug. Blacks and other minorities tend to vote in favor of politicians that support policies that promotes social justice, equality of opportunity, protects the safety net, affordable heath care, daycare, affordable housing, quality education, and provides job security and living wages to the middle and working classes.
Blacks are typically a minority in a general election so they depend on the majority of the voting population to contribute enough votes to their candidate of choice to have a chance of winning.
In many cases the opposing party will try to discourage people to collectively vote with blacks and/or to reduce the power of minority voting using strategies from voter suppression to gerrymandering, increase voting times and places. So when you vote consider how your vote will impact the blacks and other minorities and their candidate and policy choices. Sadly wasteful non-voting and extreme voting practices by the privileged, such as voting for non-viable candidates has resulted in destroying the potential of the black vote to matter.

Get the SIPmug. A method of keeping tract of the contacts a person with an infectious disease has, to prevent the spread of the disease. Tracing can be used to find the original source of the disease by looking at one's contacts before they were infected, and after they were infected to see who they may have spread the disease to. Once individuals who had contacts with the disease have been identified they are tested for the disease, to stop them from disease spreading behavior till their condition has been identified. If individuals are found to be infected with the disease they continue to stop any disease spreading behavior, (e.g. isolation) and are treated, so they don't spread the disease to others.

Get the contact tracingmug. The act of paddling or surfing a kayak. In a kayak you sit flat with the legs straight out, and you typically use a kayak paddle with a blade on each end of the paddle, however a canoe paddle or hand fins or hands can be used. In solo kayaks you sit in the center of the kayak, and in tandem kayaks you sit either close together or more towards the end. There are lots of different types of kayaks to go kayaking in. These include but are not limited to white water play boats, river kayaks, sit on top kayaks, sea kayaks, expedition kayaks, and tandem kayaks.
I think some people prefer kayaking alone to canoeing with another person because they don't have to do all the work, when they are stuck with a jerk who refuses to paddle. In some cases they like the freedom of kayaking alone because it allows them to get very very far away from the person they are paddling with.
