On Tuesday night, Doug Jones won Alabama's Senate special election beating out accused sex offender Roy Moore who was once backed by President Trump. The election was no clear win for Jones as Moore despite his problematic history was still in the race getting the support of many Christians. Jones' victory was credited to the high Black voter turnout, and social media particularly pointed out how Black women saved the state on election day.

People like Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez were lifting up the Black woman's voice and honoring her dedication to saving politics, Perez went on to call Black women "the backbone of the Democratic party." Comedian Paul Mooney, however, took to Twitter to acknowledge that Black men also did their part to make Jones' win happen, including former President Obama. Charles Barkley even stepped in to support Jones because he felt Moore was terrible for the state.

"They just love to keep a good black man down saying black women saved Alabama with 98 percent while BLACK MEN were at 94% with little no mention or animated clips... We know who and what we are KINGS and GODFATHERS!! Sistahs did y'all notice this?" Mooney wrote.

African-Americans make up only a fourth of the electorate in Alabama; they were expected to be just 30 percent of Tuesday's electorate. In a demographic chart breakdown of the exit polls made by the Washington Post, Black women were about 17 percent of the Tuesday's voters and supported Jones by a 98-2 margin. Black men were right behind them as they helped Jones by a 93-7 margin.

While both genders participated to elicit change, Mooney wanted to point out the differences in how the media reveres black women and Black men.
