Kamala Harris: Do you think black men would vote for a black women with a white spouse for president

[dj-method-x]

You don't understand how black people get the crumbs of, if not out right denied the services of the programs you mentioned?

Criminal and justice reform? Historically, what has that amounted to for black people? Who on the Democratic platform has done anything for the benefit of blacks on behalf of criminal justice reform? Clinton with harsh drug laws and 3strikes? Obama locking more blacks up than george bush jr? Kamala Harris in her legal career? What have democrats done positive?

Thats just one of the concerns you are talking about. What about black people?

I mentioned that I am an advocate for: Education, fair housing, civil rights protections, universal health care, criminal and justice reform, and social programs to benefit people in need.

Your response to that is saying that black people currently get crumbs and denied those things. I'm not sure how that is a sensible response to me being in favor of those things.

In regards to who on the democrat platform has done anything for the benefit of blacks on criminal justice reform:

One of the first things he did as president was address the discrepancy between cocaine and crack sentencing that disproportionally incarcerates more blacks in this country and throughout his presidency he commuted the sentences of more black people than any other previous president COMBINED. He also appointment more black American judges than any other president. He also appointed the first Haitian American judge, and Afro-Caribbean-born judge. Obama also moved to close ALL private federal prisons.

Can you post data that suggests that Obama locked up more blacks that Bush?

Progress of the African-American Community During the Obama Administration

• The incarceration rates for African-American men and women fell during each year of the Obama Administration and are at their lowest points in over two decades. The imprisonment rates for African-American men and women were at their lowest points since the early 1990s and late 1980s, respectively, of 2014, the latest year for which Bureau of Justice Statistics data are available.
  
  
• The number of juveniles in secure detention has been reduced dramatically over the last decade. The number of juveniles committed or detained, a disproportionate number of whom are African American, fell more than 30% between 2007 and 2013.
  
  
• The President has ordered the Justice Department to ban the use of solitary confinement for juveniles held in federal custody. There are presently no more juveniles being held in restrictive housing federally.

Black men are the least racist and in the context of this thread, our voting pattern proves it...... we're also the most egalitarian but that's something everyone ignores (blinded by their hate for black men).....


Now, if a black man were married to a nonblack woman could he win? That's the real question..... with an obvious answer......

Facts but we aren’t recognized or appreciated enough. We only get the attention on what we didn’t do and what we should’ve done.

Let me tell yall what's going to happen. She won't win the nomination (that is best case honestly) but if she does and she loses you're about to hear a lot of bw blaming bm for not supporting a bw.

Facts, it seems like people want to paint black men as a means to an end and nothing more. We don’t get thanks for support but gets blamed on the negative. It’s sickening.

That isnt politics.

What isn’t politics

 

[FreddyCalhoun]

I don't think she can win and if she loses the primary....it will create another divided in a party that can't seem to find a direction.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

I don’t give a flying fukk who she’s married too all I want to know about is her record as Cali AG and as a prosecutor that’s all

She legit my be the democratic presidential candidate for 2020. Do you think she can bank on the black males vote?

Imo bm won't vote or they'll vote way more republican/other. What say u

If her policies are on point - and that's a whole different can of worms - black men probably won't care.

Now, if a black man had a white wife, he'd probably lose the black woman's vote. Probably.

That said, I expect Trump to win re-election if he wants it. Solely because for the most part, everything he said he'd do so far -- regardless of how his detractors feel about it -- has gone accomplished. I can't recall a president that has managed to get his way on everything as quickly as he has.

I be damn i vote for some bedwench

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

Historically, we vote the same way black women vote. The real question is whether the post Obama generation of younger black voters is going to vote for another "blackish" who hasn't spoke to us directly and offered us something specific in exchange for our vote.

Unless 25% black = full black then I'm not sure why anyone is calling her a black woman. Her mother is full Indian and her father is half Indian/half black Jamaican.

I'm not sure why they are skipping over this.
