Black people should at least consider voting republican

[Vandelay]

Yep you're right. The idea is to have the parties competing for your vote rather than just voting for one party over and over and over.

With that said its soo hard to vote Republican! There's a lot of racists in the Republican Party. Even if you find a good Republican to vote for when he comes to office he's gonna bring in other Republicans to be in his cabinet-- and there's bound to be a few racists among them.

With that said though, imagine if African Americans were the swing vote in this country.

Basically.

I can't vote for most republicans until they are honest about a good percentage of the members in their party and the tactics they use in elections or when passing legislation.

With that said, I have voted republican before and I would again. But 9/10 times I won't.

 

[kingofnyc]

as an outsider who doesn't vote I just have one question.

Wouldn't it be better to get both parties to cater to your needs?

Republicans know black people won't vote for them so they don't even try to appeal/cater to their needs. If I know I don't got a chance of smashing a chick, no dinner, no movie, no dating, no nothing. On the flip side, democrats know they will always get the black vote so what incentive do hey have to cater to us??? nikkas need to wake up and smarten up. You sell yourselves short every election cycle and the days months and years in between.

Women, gays, Latinos got more leverage than we do

da fukk is wrong with these nikkaz

Even if you believed this lunacy about splitting the vote in order to get the Democrats to do more, why in the world would you give that vote to the people that hate you? Why not a third party (e.g the greens)?

The only thing politicians care about is getting elected and re-elected. If black people had a major influence they will stump accordingly. But because black people don't bother with them you have gerrymandering and voter suppression. Immigration laws isn't a black people problem it's a Spanish problem but because Spanish people don't submit to one party republicans still feel the need to at least try to get their vote.

The way some of you view politics is back asswards. You're putting the cart before the horse. You can't expect there to be a lot of black republican candidates if no black voters will even act like they will support the party.

The candidate has to engage the voters...the job at least in theory is to "serve the public" why would we ever vote for a candidate who's party and policies have been antagonistic towards blacks for the last 50 years...

black republicans are too embarrassed to come out, so their latest tactic is:
-Pretend to be nonpartisan (third-party or "libertarian" );
-Claim to be disengaged politically - saying shyt like "voting doesn't matter anyway", "the system is broken", "both parties are identical"
-Somehow pose as some pro-black nationalist fighting the man/system (to calm c00ning suspicions)
All the while voting religiously for a party that's been shytting on black people for over 50 years

There's no doctrine within the black community to not vote republican. Its just that everyday republicans remind us why they don't deserve our votes.

And this isn't a glowing endorsement of democrats either. Its just if you compare the two on any issue, democrats usually advocate policy that is more friendly to the middle class.

To the middle class
To blacks
To hispanics
To asians
To native americans
To women
To gays and lesbians
To all non-christians
To young voters


Basically to anyone who isn't rich, male, white, and old. And that's a sizable amount of this country, any way you slice it.

the hyperbole started early in this thread

 

[jadillac]

These pol. parties cater to black folks only as an ends to win so they can do what they want for everyone ELSE.

Our future starts within(the community) rather than who the political leaders are.

That's why conservatives have this fascination for the good ol' 1950s.
Those groups knew their place back then
