Why do blacks vote Democrats?

[xaero]

Nothing changes. Racism is being kept alive and Democratic party play their part too. What we have as a result: parties don’t trust each other, different party supporters have different dreams, blacks usually claim Republicans are racists, Republicans usually call Democrats racists.

By the way, Jefferson Davis was racist Democrat. As well as Andrew Jackson and many others.

Because they follow politics?

Is that what you think?

Americans, overall, are clueless when it comes to politics. Not only that, but so view participate in the voting process, there's little knowledge or passion it it.

What about all of those who don't vote Democrat.. do they "follow politics" too? Or are they suddenly just "wrong"?

democrats always stir the pot before an election and this year its Black lives matter. When will they wake up and realize they are not getting help from the Dems.

That's because racism is a human flaw, not a uniquely-American flaw. You're dealing with human nature here.

I done have the same poor opinion of my fellow citizens as you.

People vote in their own interest. People who vote republican and those who vote democratic.

Everything that happens occurs 'before an election.'

Your low opinion of black people is interesting; if it's an example of what republicans believe, no wonder republicans get a low percentage of their vote.

Why? read through the threads in this forum. Enter the word "black" in the search engine above and limit it to "Search titles only". Do not limit it to search this forum or this thread only. About 5 pages of posts open up. Scroll through some of them. You'll see why blacks vote mostly democrat.

Blacks vote mostly democrat because republican candidates don't talk to black communities and poorer communities. Not that what the democrats say and the things the leftist end of them stand for when they're out there addressing all communities is true or helpful. But they're out there peddling their shpeel without challenge.

Not everybody buys all the ghostwritten books and watches cable news interviews. If you have a message, go deliver it yourself.

I have a low opinion as I am mystified why they don't see how badly they are used by the Democrats. Pander at election time and then forget them. Democrats should be ashamed, but what the hell, it works.

You should ask some black people if they vote for Democrats and if so why.

I have and the standard answer is "I always have".
A stupid answer.

Your the one that said I should ask, what the hells wrong with you!

Oh, did you think if you asked that people would be obliged to give you the answer you were looking for? If someones says they are voting democratic because they've always voted that way, did you ask the follow up question of why? Did you express some genuine interest in why people voted the way they did? First, I don't believe you asked anyone. Second, if you did I would expect you to ask beyond a simple "because I always have" answer.

Of course there were follow up questions, no good answers, I'm now convinced more than ever that we are a nation of idiots.

Do you really think every question has a black and white yes or no answer? You think we humans are so simple? Engage your neurons boy.

Most people are blank without knowing the issues. You can talk to most and their eyes frost over, not a clue what your even talking about. I used to be offended when I heard the word dumb American, but know I know it to be true. I have friends in Europe that know 10x more about the US than what most Americans do.

What This Country Needs Is an Ambidextrous Guillotine

It works for the way Republicans use White people, too.

I think it starts with the rhetoric, then policies then the ideology. To put it simply, the right wing has nothing to offer them and goes out of its way to alienate them.
