bravenak (14,137 posts) Dear white progressives: Stop telling black people how to voteJanessa Robinson We are now in the midst of the 2016 presidential election, which means both parties are pandering to their bases as well as to unlikely voters who may be swayed to their respective sides. Although it’s early, this election cycle has already been dominated by questions of which candidate will garner “the black vote,†as if black people are monolithic. Given that thousands of black people are currently leading a social justice movement across the nation that the media has dubbed the “Black Lives Matter Movement,†the black electorate appears to be at the forefront of politicians’ minds. There is a history of black communities voting Democrat — that is, when we are actually allowed to vote, as we were historically targeted for explicitly racist disenfranchisement in the 20th century and felon disenfranchisement in the 21st century. During the 20th century, the Democratic Party was well known for instituting anti-black policies in the South such as Jim Crow, poll taxes and literacy tests. Since then, the Democratic Party has shifted its image to racial indifference, while the Republican Party picked up its racially hostile characteristics. http://www.salon.com/2015/07/21/dear_white_progressives_stop_telling_black_people_how_to_vote/

All these threats and the race nagging has truly driven me to not give a shit anymore. I'll vote for bernie in the primary and then maybe join the Green party if he doesn't win.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Please. The Democrat Party tells you to jump, and your answer for the last 40 years has been "How high?".
Nagger, please.

Me too!!!!!
Exactly. They vote in the 90 percentile for the Democrat. Next election, they will vote in the 90 percentile for the Democrat. They one after, they will vote in the 90 percentile for the Democrat.
Also, which racially discriminatory policies has the Republican party endorsed? I guess limited government and fiscal conservatism is racist.
Since then democrats have convinced most blacks that they are owed a life of leisure based on the sweat of taxpayers.

Have they convinced the black community that "the world owes them a livin'"? Or have Dems convinced the black community that they aren't worthy/able to succeed on their own?
Seeing how much they hate the Tea Party, I'm going to have to go with "bagger"..
