When were black people ever not Conservative?
We only voted Democrat because they pandered to us, while the Republicans were on some pull yourself up by your boot straps shyt.
Well, we have the means to pull ourselves up now, so we don’t need to be pandered to.
We just need to be left alone to make our own way.
When you break it down to that, what do the Democrats offer over the Republicans?
I can see why you would vote more liberal if you’re gay or an immigrant, but for the average ADOS, the only difference we see is one will lie to our face while stabbing us in the back, the other comes with his sword and shield in front, like this is what it is, compete or die.
We respect the latter way more than the former.
Black people have aligned with pro-civil rights liberal and progressive parties, candidates, ideologies since....forever. We have never been conservative. Ever.
We voted Democrat because their policy platform aligns with our interests in just about every bullet point. From taxes to economics to criminal justice reform to civil rights to education to everything. Not because of "pandering." We reject the Republican party and right wing, anti-civil rights conservatism because low taxes for rich people and white christian fundamentalism has been the sworn enemy of black power in this country forever. Much more than "white liberals", gays or immigrants as much as yall love your contrarian fanatsies. The idea that black people are too stupid to weigh and make their own political choices and are beign "fooled" by their party and their ideology of choice, liberalism, is classic dogshyt O'Reilly Factor right wing talking points and I cant believe this shyt is now being adapted in "pro-black" circles.
No we have not found all the means to adapt right wing economics and be "left alone." By and large our children, schools, and communities lag tremendously behind others. Their is still a need for systemic policy in order to reverse systemic failures in our school and our communities and make systemic improvements. And conservatives have NO interest in investing in those policies or even acknowledging it. Liberals...including many Democrats in Congress...are the ones fighting for these policies.
What do Democrats offer over Republicans? Damn near everything. Im not even gonna entertain this.
So we should let the party of abject white supremacy take over the government because you "respect that"
