As a black man in America?

[Calmye]

i think its more inherent than actual policy for most blacks
we look at the character of the person and when u line up a
bunch of repubs it reminds us of why we Dont trust cacs
rather than why we Do trust dems.. most black repubs are
toms and 99% of the repub base dont look like they interact
with non-pale people..
its a lesser of the evils in most cases IMO

good thread btw

Thats my point tho. We have more then one choice. And we also have a choice to create our own party that will atleast put our issues in the conversation. Im not voting republican but that doesn't mean I'm stuck with these elitist high and mighty dems telling me vote for them or the other side will destroy me

 

[Calmye]

If you believe that vote Republican, you sound like a shoe in

More then two options black sheep

14% of the country. We have a choice. Its sad that you believe you have to vote for someone because you don't think you have a choice not based on their positions on the issues and their attractiveness in office but on your fear of breaking ranks.

when the republican party is actively using Southern Strategy in just about every election?? you still think black people should ignore all that and still vote for them?

btw, neither party has our best interests at heart anyways

How have those socialist polices helped black Americans in these last years, Obama has killed more people in more countries in the name of keeping america safe. Guantanamo Bay Is still open and we just sent more arms into a country where we have no clear ally. The dems are losing the fight for more regulation on banks and financial institutions. They are fumbling most of the green initiatives They put forth on the federal level. And just recently some of the most prominent unions have called out Obama for the effects the ACA will have on working class Americans and the 40hr work week. So yes I do assume you just vote with the guy that has a D next to his name because its obvious the people you are voting for don't believe or can't accomplish the issues you believe in.

some have helped. i got my degree with federal financial aid. but no policy can erase the legacy of historical racism, or the achievement tax that contemporary racism has on us.that is a policy that has to change in the hearts of each and every cac across the country...or until their numbers drop significantly. whichever comes first

obama inherited two wars and ended one of them. he is drawing down the second one, and so far has avoided starting any new wars. he is not perfect, i disagree with sending weapons to syria, but he is a net gain over mccain and romney. that is a fact. mccain was singing "bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb iran" before the election for christs' sake. mccain would be sending troops right now, and romney would be doing anything a puppet and schill for any industry would want right now.

dems are definitely losing on regulations, and a vote for republicans would just speed up the process, so what are my options?

the PPACA has had a negligable impact on work hours, and the gains are already signifcant. people with preexisting conditions (even pregnant women couldnt get new policies) can now get covered. people can stay on their parents' insurance longer. woemn cant be charged more than men, etc. i like it, breh

so if you think i am mindlessly voting, then you are either a troll or so partisan that you cant get your head out of your ass

i dont assume that sly and kingpin dont vote for policies, even if i dont agree with them. in HL, we dont do dumb shyt like this, or at least we try not to, LOL

When did I say vote republicans. If I have issues with the Dems wtf makes you think I would vote republican?

i dont know what you vote. i look at my local ballots and see almost exclusively republicans as the only other option, with a libertarian who has policies that are against my liberal policies, so we are back at square one.

You just said you vote mindlessly for dems because you fear republicans. And the student loan program has been in affect for decades now. I'm speaking on recent history. Its obvious the dems don't have the interests of black Americans on the platform. Look how hard they fight for fags. Why can't they do that for us in education and equal pay. Thats all I'm saying fam. I'm not knocking your political views. I just feel we have the power to vote for us instead of voting for the person with the D next to there name

its a 2 party system for a reason you don't have a choice. You either vote Dem or Repub

btw whenever i think of the 2 party system i think about the Booty Warrior in Boondocks: "we can do this the hard way or the easy way. the choice is yours. Because its gon' happen"

Its not a two party system you fukking sheep. Open you fukking Constitution. We have a right to vote for who ever we want. We are a huge minority then can swing election and put trillions in the market place. We have a voice and its fukked up people like your stupid ass feel we have to vote for a party that doesn't give a fukk about us

 

[Calmye]

Breh people dont have a choice. They can either vote democrat or republican. No other party has a chance of winning. Too many forces at work which prevents any other party to win. Now if you want act dumb and ignore that fact then

 

[theworldismine13]

the reason why black people vote democratic is because the other party is perceived to be racist, there isnt anything else to it, racism is the #1 black issue

but ive always predicted that after obama there will be a shift as 1) people realize the limitations of political power 2) people realize that there are bigger issues than just racism and 3) that a lot of policies pushed by democrats arent really in black people's interest
