Yes, the OP was the first to expose himself.
Anyone supporting Obama and/or Democrats without a plan to demand respect or reciprocation for their vote, at this point is an immigrant, LGBT, or a white liberal.
Voting is not a requirement and voting with no return is a waste. Anyone telling you otherwise is a fool and probably would throw his entire paycheck into a wishing well thinking it would increase the odds of coming true.
You don’t need to do any of those things. It’s simple. Don’t vote. I bet you in 2024 they will be begging black people. They will want give us them tangibles if they ever want to be back in power again.
Don King Said it best when it comes to
Black Folks.
We are the easiest group of people to hustle. Black people are happy with crumbs while other groups want the whole cake.
Which he said while robbing his black fighters (including Muhammad Ali) worse than the white promoters were![]()
The Republicans are the only ones fighting to suppress the Black vote, but somehow sitting out the elections is going to help Blacks?
And Local Elections are vastly more important to Black Voters than National Elections anyway. We should NEVER sit those out.
Yeah that’s why he made that quote.
“Niggas will take $100,000 cash over $1,000,000 check”.
That’s the mentality of a lot of niggas.
When you try to school then on game and tell them your a sleeping giant and you deserve more.
They call you Russian Bots. Then why sit there broke wondering why other groups of people are ahead of them.
I hope this timb chinned fuck don't have kids.You don’t need to do any of those things. It’s simple. Don’t vote. I bet you in 2024 they will be begging black people. They will want give us them tangibles if they ever want to be back in power again.

What advancements have the so-called black community made in the last 60 years economically, politically, and socially by voting almost exclusively Democrat?
ok , everyone's right to a point. now what can we agree on? and what we do to move forward?
Lol
It’s crazy how they are willing to give immigrations reparations and path for citizens to people that are not even american ?
But when it comes black folks all you get is crickets.
I don’t know why you guys are so loyal! You want me to vote and give these Mexicans open borders and citizenship and then in the future they will vote republicans and Jump on the white supremacy train like them Cubans that left Cuba and are in Florida voting republican ?
Fuck out of here !
Cut the check
Another direction is to push blacks to focus more on voting locally. This is good because we can maximize our voting power to work for us, rather than weakening it by not participating.
Tariq said it best. The difference between the Dems and the GOP is like asking which slave master you Want to be on your side of the plantation
This is the solution.
Even is someone doesn't want to vote for a candidate there is sometimes the option of a write in vote, a protest vote of either voting for a third party candidate who won't win or even intentionally not selecting any candidates when voting which would make it void but the fact that you were present can potentially be noted.
So you also think refusing to vote is the solution?
Who do you think is going to push more for reparations, Dems or Repubs?

Question for all of the "don't vote" or "vote Trump" idiots in this thread. If voting doesn't matter, please explain this:
“Traditionally it’s always been Republicans suppressing votes in places,” Justin Clark, a senior political adviser and senior counsel to Trump’s re-election campaign, said at the event. “Let’s start protecting our voters. We know where they are. ... Let’s start playing offense a little bit. That’s what you’re going to see in 2020. It’s going to be a much bigger program, a much more aggressive program, a much better-funded program.

Trump adviser tells Wisconsin Republicans that GOP has ‘traditionally’ relied on voter suppression but will ‘start playing offense’ in 2020

What the fuck does your question have to do with what I said?
Did you ask because you can’t answer without repeating from Rachel Maddow?
You keep scaring us with trump.
Look I don’t like the guy but who the fuck cares if he gets another 4 years?
How is electing Joe Biden and putting the democrats back in power going to help the black community? It will just be the Obama years 2.0.
All they going to do is push LGBT and immigrants. And we still have to face white supremacy.
With trump he is a open white supremacist racist. He is going after all groups that are not Aryan white.
And I don’t mind. If I cannot eat or get tangibles then nobody fucking eating!
They not about to run that game were we vote and they prioritize every other group and we don’t get shit. After that they try to run the same con game come election time 2024. Like for the past 70 years!
Black people are strong people. We been through slavery, Jim Crow so what the fuck is a trump ? I’m good I could care less.
You keep bringing up Trump/Biden but are you aware of who may be running in your local/state elections this year such as judges, council members, law enforcement, comptrollers, mayors, governors, etc.?
Are you aware of any potential initiatives which may be up for voting such as legalized marijuana, prison reform, felon voting rights, etc.?
What about redistricting and how vital the elections around the country the entire year of 2020 are in preventing our votes from being even marginalized?

We have an opportunity to to position ourselves as a moral authority in opposition to America's hateful practices, similar to how the Jewish community has. We can advocate and acquire resources for our community, while advocating for other PoC.
We have all these studies about how children will be affected even with counseling. For a few months of abuse vs the centuries that we endured. Do you ever recall any slaves being sent to therapy? Joy brings that point up in her Post traumatic slave syndrome presentation.
Anytime the black community seeks assistance it is seen as begging. We have an opportunity to change the narrative and demand from a position of strength to be compensated for ongoing abuses to fix issues in our community caused by this country's treatment of us. I can bet you almost anything these immigrants are about to get PAID via numerous lawsuits.
When you are advocating for someone else it is always viewed more favorable than when it appears you are only vested in self interest.
I can't be the only one who sees the potential possibilities in this. The president just got finished with an infomercial for racial hatred covered on all the news networks. With social media there can be pushback and gains for our own community.
"Trump is doing ABC. This causes DEF. We know because it happened to us. We need to stop him from doing this to (whomever the target of the moment is). We need healing in our community still. GHI is what we need. " then lobby for what we want.
I can't be the only person who thinks like this. I don't know the details of how to organize and make it happen, but I see the possibilities to do the right thing AND help our communities come up in the process.
Again sorry for any typos.
You don't get it. I personally don't care if immigrants seeking asylum are granted it or not. I personally don't care if folks who are illegal are deported. I'm not pro or anti immigration, but there is a way to do things that is right and a way to do things that is wrong.
The thing I take issue with is the mistreatment, and dehumanization of immigrants. Calling them animals. Stealing their children. (And yes the child separation policy was just an attempt to steal their kids. They were not keeping track of the parents, they were deporting the parents and keeping the kids. Even when the parent was known, they were making excuses not to return the kid, and had to be forced to do paternity tests. The businesses they gave contracts to were for a period of YEARS, good for millions of dollars. Some parents had their kids adopted out, don't know where they are and can't get them back.) Putting people in cages in inhumane conditions. Skirting the law and making up new policies outside the law to allow and justify the treatment of these people.
As a people who have had this done to us, we know where it leads and the pain it causes. We have been dehumanized to the extent that slavery was supposed to be for our own good. We were experimented on and thought to not feel pain. To this day the fact that black men are super human and black people don't feel pain allows for the narrative that police force is warranted and that we don't need to be treated for pain in medical situations. Some of those kids who were snatched from their parents are never going to be right in the head again.
Every time we complain about mistreatment of black folks, it is dismissed as playing the race card, something all in our mind, or something we deserved. We should be the main ones sounding the alarm about this and making sure it doesn't happen to anyone else.We have no moral high ground to stand on if we are ok with others being mistreated and ONLY looking out for ourselves. That doesn't mean we don't look out for ourselves or we put others first, but there are certain norms we need to hold, certain mindsets we can't allow to become mainstream again. We always get treated worse than someone else. If it becomes acceptable to treat these other races like shit, how much more are we going to be affected?
I've said this in the past:
The other reason I take issue with this is Christian based and deals with repercussions on the Church and our nation, but since half y'all don't believe in God, I'm not going to go into that.
Yes I agree about local races. Again I’m not saying do not vote. I’m just saying don’t vote blindly.
If you want to vote for local mayor. Make sure to ask him what are you going to do for your community? What kind of programs or tangibles can you bring.
And do that with both republicans and democrats candidates . We have to get into the game of acting neutral.
I know some people are going to say no to neutrality because some of the republicans are racist.
But the key to politics is that they is way more power in being a swing voter. Politicians will bend over backwards when you play the neutral game and become a swing voter
Instead of just being a blind voting. That’s what Black people need to start doing become a swing voter.

Fuck Obama you faggot. You niggaahz always have an excuse for everything. You gonna find a way & a reason to blame white people.You can hardly go into any thread without these cacs infiltrating and derailing trying to stop Blacks from voting. This is not a mistake . These fags were not out this bad prior to Trump.
You really oughtta sit the fuck down for even typing this dumb ass shit here.None of them unless they cut the check!
That’s like asking me do you want someone to slit my throat or do you want someone to shoot me in the head!
There both bad how about none!
Until one of them come correct and are willing to start doing something for the black community!
I’m not losing sleep. Until they start cutting checks
Why is it presented as an either or?What's more important to black people, focusing on local politics or national elections?
Which one will give us the best results the quickest?
