It's Time for Black America to Break Up With the Democratic Party | Opinion - Newsweek

We've pretty much been doing this whole politics thing the way you suggest for more than 50 years.
Are you happy with the results?
Better question (2 parts!)
1. What do you offer as an alternative?
2. Why are you so hell bent on giving others grief about who they support if you CANNOT and WILL NOT answer #1?
Seems you have some sort of ulterior motive...
Personally I think its a process our community is going to have to sit out a presidential election and show the democrats they can't take us for granted. Present an agenda like Ice Cube tried to propose and whoever is willing to meet our demands go with them. I'm sick of my people getting our asses kicked.
Tell me something I don't already know.
1. it entails your vote counting.
2. never said that. if you actually read what I wrote, I said they will offer a better proposal. I never said they are not needed. another case of reading what you want because are intellectually dishonest.
3. I did offer an alternative! And what is your solution? Keep doing the same thing for the last 60 years that hasn't done shit? Yeah, that makes logical sense.
4. Yes, they do, but blacks aren't in the Repub party en masse so why would I address this? Just idiotic logic to deflect once again.
I'm talking about now. Those people of the past wouldn't continue to do the same thing for 60 years with no change while gays and trannies get all the rights.
You literally just got here a few months ago breh. Search my posts and see where I stand.
But I'll invite you to google quid pro quo for starters since you are a political infant. And get back to me.
the parties have already flipped before so ever is already a lie.
no, it's because the dems got your mind on lock.
and when the repubs win everything, the dems will actually give substance to us instead of rhetoric.
yes, I know how laws are passed. For instance, the Dems are in control now. What have the Dems done for you now that they're in power?
just brainwashed.
what rights do gays and trannies have that you dont?
Even if the parties flipped it would be the exact same situation, because its not the name of the party that matters, its the people who make up the party and their constituency.
The party that loses doesnt get to offer or give anything. All it can do is say no and block whatever else is going on. Just like the Republicans do every single time they lose.
This isnt even up for debate. The minority party does not pass shit.
You really dont shit about how laws are passed and how things are done.
the ability to pick and choose when to use their sexual preference for privilege or to use their general white privilege for advancement.
Now, since I answered your deflection question you thought you get me tripped up on, address how is it logic to keep doing the same thing for 60 years without anything changing and expecting change.
now you are really showing you an idiot and haven't studied history.
The flip of parties was to show that both parties can bend and change their agendas just to win. Only a fool wouldn't see that.
The party that loses are exactly the party that can create change. It starts at a local level all the way to the top. How do you think revolutions start? By the parties in power? The parties in power don't do shit because they got what they want. Case in point - NOW, you fucking idiot. What are they doing for you?
Dumbass, white men worshipping negroes, I tell ya.

That's exactly what we having been doing. Black men don't vote as a whole. The people in this thread talking crazy don't vote either. Black women do and they are passing us up in just about every way.
Name me the last time a minority party passed laws on the federal level that changed anything.
Do that and Ill shut up.
But you wont cause you cant.
While you at it, tell me why the Republicans are working hard to take your vote away instead of trying to gain your vote.
Ill wait for that too lmao.
first answer my question before deflecting.
1. thats not a right...
2. what youre talking about generally falls under the heading of race based social privilege (which is more of a social structure/cultural thing than a law based right) since whiteness is the thing that supports all of it. Chappelle made the astute speculation that the ONLY reason the trans community has gotten this far on the subject is ONLY because WHITE MEN are doing it. If this was just an issue affecting mainly black and brown and women no one would give fuck and make that clear.

PRESIDENTS WHO GOT LARGE MAJORITY BLACK SUPPORT IN US HISTORY:
Abraham Lincoln (R) Lincoln is credited with ending slavery - black support
Warren Harding (R) Harding is credited with signing anti lynching laws - black support
Franklin Roosevelt (D) FDR is credited with opening up aid and jobs during the depression - black support
Harry Truman (D) Truman ended segregation in military and ended bias in federal jobs - black support
John F. Kennedy (D) JFK gave the IMPRESSION he supported the Civil Rights Movements - black support
Lyndon B. Johnson (D) LBJ - signed Civil Rights Legislation - black support
The reason for blacks loyally voting for both parties at various times has to do with jobs, opportunity and dignity than race.
why the black vote tends to go to the party that has either done that or made a show of concern for doing that. And its telling that the last major piece of legislation that was signed with black people in mind happened 40 years ago and not much else. Blacks as a group should be more fluid in our vote and all candidates from local, state to federal should get a one and done deal from us. You get one term to show us what you can do for us and if nothing happens then you're gone. But that's about the CANDIDATE...NOT the party! Especially when you consider that of the ONLY TWO major political parties in the damn country...one is actively trying to discourage you from voting period! Something NO ONE on your side of this debate cares to talk about. (wonder why
)What makes the issues on the board so infuriating is this notion that black people are making decisions blindly when in fact black America is doing today what we've always done...try to make the best decision out of a fucked up situation. Its easy to look back in hindsight and say they did this wrong or that wrong but no one living today would do any better back then either.

Im still waiting...
My politics are transactional. Earn my support
Smh
Yeah but the Democrats knew they were going to lose that vote. I get the optics but guess what, Black people are still screwed. The last time and only time I can remember these devils giving a fuck about us was when we as a group was burning the stores of their biggest donors down.
Power respects power and the only power we as a group have is boycotts and burning their shit down. The majoity of the wealthy black class has failed the majority of black people because they are too focused on consumption and fucking white people to give birth to almost white babies
