Because I asked you specifically about yourself and you decided to tell me about your cousin. Do you know how to directly answer a question?

This will be the hardest pill to swallow in this thread.Unless as a community you're putting money in a politician's pocket there is little point in voting. He is under no obligation to do anything to help you once he gets in.

Just because something was done intentionally doesn't mean it exists or is done on the same scale into perpetuity.
Slavery was intentional as was Jim Crow. Both were dismantled legally / via policy.
If you espouse this defeatist view, what's your explanation for why slavery ended? Or why voting rights were given?
I directly answered your question in the first line of the response. Point is, your question is a shyt question. Are you really suggesting, in aggregate, black people's lives aren't effected by Trump being in office vs. Hillary?
Slavery ended because of industrialization. No different than going to war because one half of the country is still using mules to pull plows out in the field, and the other half has invented the tractor and can get more production and efficiency that way. The half that’s modernized isn’t going to allow the other half to hold everyone back because they’re stuck in their old ways and “customs.”
Simple as that. Ending slavery was good business.
Same as with voting rights. Why continue to fight us over voting and risk tearing the country apart again, when you could give us the vote, while at the same time making sure we always voted for who we were told to. And we have, faithfully.
You don’t have to figure any of this out. Our scholars have already been through all this. All you have to do is read and study your history. Then study white folks history back at the founding of this nation. They tell you themselves that your vote is basically worthless. And they’ve shown as much at least twice in recent memory. The Bush fiasco down in Florida and this last go round with Trump. That was the system working exactly the way it was designed to.
Yeah and that's why I only responded to that line. I'd be willing to bet if you asked the average black person how their life would be different under Hillary than under Trump they would have to think really hard to find a difference.
No
Just another fool
Republicans actually count on us not voting
