Should you consider* voting for? Well that remains to be seen.
I'd just ask that you keep the option on the table.
Black people should at least consider voting republican

The ones that haven't run for office yet. A lot of those tea party candidates never ran for office before they got elected.
doubtful that he will be able to put two coherent thoughts together.

Viable*. How does not voting correlate with ferguson? And how would what happened in ferguson even potentially change voting REPUBLICAN? Which is my point. Not voting will help more or at worst just as much as voting republican. If anything if you vote republican, that would probably be the last time any of them would get to vote again.

James Brown also learned the hard way.Yeah, it's really shocking that minorities (of all classes) avoid a party that attracts the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Cliven Bundy, Ron Paul, David Duke, Pat Buchanan and Ted Nugent
Even the OG black republican got his nikka wake-up call in the 60s
MLK wasn't too fond of them either...
The funny part is how some republicans are still trying to claim Jackie and MLK today
The GOP nominated Goldwater for president a month after he voted against the Civil Rights Act (and campaigned on it in the South).The black GOP vote went from 33% for Nixon in 1960 to 4% for Goldwater in 1964.
Goldwater lost but he became the first republican to carry MS, AL, SC, LA and GA since the Civil War. The "party of Lincoln" suddenly became popular with rednecks with confederate flags on their pickup trucks (and black people noticed it too)...
That's when they lost the black vote for good (and they haven't made any attempts to change that).
That southern strategy was very successful for a long time in presidential elections (1968-2004), but it seems to have finally run its course.
Obama proved that you can lose the South and still win easily (twice)

because in ferguson the city council and the mayor were white but the population was 65% black, because black people didnt vote, that is how not voting relates to feguson
your strategy of not voting was already tried in ferguson
the point is if black people voted black people would control the mayors office and the city council

lets say me and a few black people are foaming at the mouth over immgration, is there something wrong with that? do black people owe something to somebody?
all im doing is explaining how some people can come to the conclusion that voting for republicans is better, immigration is one of those issues
that just begs the question, if immigration isnt a priority for black people then the question is why is immigration the priority of the democratic party?
yeah and im suggesting that black people that support charters and vouchers shoud split their vote
the democratic party is using black people as a political base to get into power and then using their poltical power to put other groups priorities ahead of the priorities of black people, what is so hard to understand about that?

What does that matter? Just because they vote that doesn't mean they are in charge whatsoever. They are in charge of who gets put in office, after that they have almost no say so until the NEXT election. And by vote are we digressing to mere city councils or presidential elections? Because they would be different.

it matters becuase of this report http://www.theatlantic.com/national...el-brown-department-of-justice-report/386887/
so what im saying is if black people would have been in charge you wouldnt have an all white city council, police force and mayor that does the things outlined in the report
if you dont understand why its important that the city council, police force and mayor be black i dont what to tell you, my whole point is that black people should vote to gain power
explain to me what do you think would happen if the the black citizens of ferguson continue to not vote?

What power do they gain? Ferguson aside. If we vote republican what the hell does that solve? People who don't give a shyt about us get MORE in charge. We might as well not vote at all.

what do you mean ferguson aside? why is ferguson aside?
ferguson is an example of people not voting, so its you that has to explain how not voting helped the people of ferguson
i didnt say vote republican per se, i said black people should split our vote, that was in reference to this thread, it solves the issue of the democratic party using our vote to promote other people's agenda

Because Ferguson is not the thread
Nor does it accurate translate to what would happen if it was done NATIONALLY.
