As a black man in America?

[Blackking]

well, i am very liberal on a lot of issues, so i will tend to vote for people that want to strengthen "socialist" policies, i am not a warmonger, so i will avoid neocons, i believe in regulation, i believe in protecting the environment, i like unions, basically, you know what liberals are, that is me and i will very likely continue voting for the candidates that profess those values, most of them tend to be democrats.

so now back to my question. are you actually assuming people dont vote based on policies? are you white or something?

I've personally registered 1000's of black people to vote in my short adult life... 5 sec in the those convos I know that the vast majority of those people didn't know about any issues they simple know basic rhetoric and programmed behavior - just like most Americans. lol, most people only vote party line in the big ones - but I basically told the mass of black what a good mark is on propositions and local candidates and the majority just go w it cuz they trust proper sounding and seemingly educated young black men (especially women)..

The Dems used to be better for social issues, but they have blacks trained now... most liberals desperately don't have a choice - because the neo cons and gop are so off the hook for domestic policy.... But on the flip side some of the ideas (low key) of some liberals are exactly what black people don't need.... so it's a cluster fukk trying to exercise your black voting rights in this nation... It would better for us to go economic warfare and build more unity as a opposed to voting for either side of our oppressors coin.

Women should be able to do what they want with their body.

We need a safety net for the poor or people going through hard times.

I'm not a warmonger.

What are the other options for black people?

Both sides are screwing black people in some way or another. We are truly people without representation. It will always be like. We have been simply choosing what we feel collectively is the lesser of two evils. That is why I do not care about calling myself a representative of either party.

I'm a independent voter and vote for the people close to my views. Mexicans have everyone talking about about their issues because they have no party allegiance. They voted for bush both times then voted for obama both times. In each case they made their issues one of concern on the national level. If we pulled together and put our support behind a candidate that would push for us we could have a major impact in politics. Just look at the tea party. Crazy white racists decided the republicans just weren't bat crazy enough so they made their own party and now has people in office in both branches of congress. Whats stopping us from doing the something like this now. We could at least hold the national black caucus feet to the fire.

I find it funny how we have people in here straight stereotyping black people as sheep's and brainwashed because they vote democratic. Of course they don't listen to the debates or know the policies of the people they vote for huh? Black folks are just ignorant followers right? Nevermind the older black folks who experienced the civil rights era and saw democratic policies help bring equality. Nevermind trying to motivate people to fight for the issues of the black community, lets just sit back and wait for politicians to do it for us. You know Dr. King fought his ass off for policies to further our cause but naw we can't do that anymore. We should sit around and complain about democrats, the party who helped bring an end to Jim Crow and segregation. Just because you're young and never experienced the struggles of the civil rights era doesn't mean you should disregard it and completely change the narrative to why democrats haven't helped us lately. Why don't you make a thread about forming a coalition of black people to fight for our our community? Yeah I know why, because it's easier to sit back and blame Obama and the democrats. This sicc2def cat spends all his time complaining but won't bring any real solutions to the discussion. This is a board full of posers though, so i wouldn't be surprised if dude was a republican who has a slight interest in hip hop and found this board but can't help but shyt on democrats anytime he has a chance. He is a 50 cent stan and 99% of them in 2013 are of Caucasian persuasion and don't really understand the struggle of the black community.

So Mexicans were being hosed down in the 50's and 60's? You're a clown and try way too hard. Go read a book and understand systematic racism's impact on society.

Breh I know you don't like me but your hatred for me has made you blind to my point. I'm not saying anything about civil rights era Dems. And don't act like Johnson was on the picket line with king. King had his feet to the fire so he had to act. You hate me so much you don't even see your making my point. We need to get together and fight for these politicians to hear our voice.

What? When I tried to say Obama would be a good leader when he gets out of office. You called me a uncle tom or some shyt like that.. my issues with Obama is all political once he gets out of office his community organizer will come out again.. hopefully. . And when I see the statistics on us I really don't feel like the Dems are on our side like they say they are. You say I'm a c00n and a troll for expressing that

Threadstarter been watching FOX news.

Go onto a conservative/Republican forum and bring up the topic of black people, and see what the regulars have to say. After that you shouldn't really have to ask this type of question.

it's one thing to say that some people, black or otherwise, are low information voters. it is another thing to have a black man tell you at length what his beliefs are, and then to respond to him with dismissive sean hannity sounding talking points.

And that's the shyt that pisses me off. These so called pro black brothers are constantly telling us how we are brainwashed and don't know what we are voting for. Basically just stereotyping us as idiots and followers. It's an insult to our parents and grandparents who shared the views of the democratic party and have seen the effect of their policies over the years. It is not wrong to talk about how the black community should explore our options an examine things more closely but it's totally fukked up to resort to racist right wing ideology such as we don't know what's best for us. People like that don't even take into account the racism the republican party has been known for and the real life experiences they have faced in life. Naw forget all that, black people are just sheep. If you watched Fox News for a day, you would realize why for one we do not feel wanting in the republican party. Then you have the black libertarians, the party who would have been against the end of slavery but try to ignore the historical context because they are the so called new school black person. I can tell alot of posters who abide by that bullshyt mind frame, have either a white girlfriend, grew up with a lot of white people or have tons of white friends. This is truly sad to me.
