Politico: Democrats Underperforming W/ Black Voters

[Professor Emeritus]

you can’t just copy and paste with no substance. Explain the bolded one for example. HOW does it negatively affect “minorities”?

Disparate impact legislation are laws that are meant to keep people from doing racist shyt and covering it up by using some other rationale. Disparate impact regulations say that if a policy has a negative impact on Black people, the feds can force the bank/insurer/city to change the policy even if they can't prove the negative impact was intentional.

But insurance companies are still trying to find ways around it that screw over Black and Brown people. And the state is noticing the disparate impact and fighting them.

California tries to curb discrimination in auto insurance pricing



So what Trump has done is remove all disparate impact regulations at the federal level. Meaning that if a bank, or an insurance company, or a local government passes a policy or law that fukks over Black people, you have to PROVE that they intended to fukk over Black people and not just that the law had a discriminatory effect. Unless you get a hold of their private records that's almost impossible to prove.



TLDR: Disparate impact regulations say that you can't have policies that hurt minorities more than White people. Trump has eliminated disparate impact regulations, so banks, insurance companies, and local governments are free to pass laws that have a bigger negative impact on Black folk and the feds won't call them to task.

What's disingenuous is hiding behind "no tangibles no vote" when the reality is a lot of these people just do not want to vote.
We are in the primary how can you "waste" your vote, by voting for Steyer? Especially when the alternative isn't voting for Sanders/Biden/Warren, it's not voting at all. Furthermore, how weak-minded would a person need to be to not vote for Steyer, because other people would call it a "wasted vote".

Who’s hiding? Do you have any data that shows the individuals pushing “no tangibles, no vote” weren’t going to vote anyways? Seems like arrogance on the part of both you and the ones assuming this.

Also, Steyer is doing ok in South Carolina, which is a black state. It looks like your whole assertion in your first post was wrong. Furthermore, I’m voting Steyer. If he doesn’t advance, then we’ll go from there.

The division of black voters is purposeful and intentional. You guys pushing the black agenda, has not only exposed democrats,but has secured a republican victory in the next election. Those swing states, the black vote means the most.If you can divide black population, that states will certainly be red in the election. We all arguing with democrats and criticizing the party, dividing the party, while no one is criticizing the republicans at all or questioning their motives at all. Democrats are getting smeared and the republicans have they feet kicked up. What the republicans have, morally right or wrong, is unity within their party. Democrats are killing each other, and the divisions between the party are gonna reflect in the election. Ya'll basically handing Trump the victory

This reads like an old white man typed it. seriously.

You dudes are stopping just short of saying even though life shole is hard for us black folk, we'd be in shackles or dead under republican reign, and "at LEAST democrats are keeping roofs over our head and our bellies full"

Trump is the 4th republican president of my lifetime, my old neighborhood still looks EXACTLY the same way it did in the 80's; no democrats or republicans have paved our streets w/gold yet.

we're at defcon1, the political game hasn't worked for us at all - we need new strategies. But stay over there with your head held low afraid to make eye contact with white people begging and groveling for your needs

Doesn't matter if Dems get most of the black votes. What matters is a huge TURNOUT and the Dems aren't getting that regardless of what their fearmongering agents tell you.

Dems are literally breaking attendance records in the caucauses right now.

Dude, my people have built this country, and have supported the Dems religiously for decades. If "dividing the party" is us finally asking for what's due(reparations and a Black agenda), then so be it. We're not responsible for Trump, thank your PAWGS and other "minorities"(Hispanics and Asians each voted for Trump at a 30% clip).

I'm not saying we shouldn't ask for reparations, what im saying is, why are we only asking democrats these questions. The same questions and pressure needs to be put to republicans. They have the power right now, so why are we asking the people who aren't in power these questions. We have been blindly voting democrat, but if we want the party to represent us properly, then we need to take over it and stop putting white or token democrats in charge. We need to vote our people in, not the people they show us.

I want the assertion in my post to be wrong. No idea what you are beating your chest about. People should vote. The entire idea that you can impact the process by not participating is moronic, especially when we have candidates who are pushing for the types of things that are being asked for. And yes, I absolutely do believe that there are people who will continue to operate with this mindset.

Steyer doing well in SC is a good thing, especially if he is driving increased black voter turnout.

 

[Dark Knyght]

You do know black people vote more unified than ANY race/ethnic group right?

That's great, that didn't reflect in the last election in any way. All our unification, didn't show up at the polls at all.

 

[GoAggieGo.]

The black vote isn’t even being divided. 75% to 90% of us will vote Democrat. The issue comes with black people turning out and showing up, and if you want more to show up, then you simply give them a reason to show up. You give your most loyal block or group a reason to show up.

Here's a tangible; start dealing with banks by auditing their loan and mortgage practices by race.

That helps black people and a lot of us.

Breh, did you see these two bullet points in that Trump administration list?

May 24: Trump signs the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act, which exempts banks from reporting rules needed to monitor racist lending practices

Jan 4: The WP reported that Trump is rolling back disparate impact regulations, meaning that lenders, insurers, and local governments could now pass regulations that have negative impacts on minorities just so long as there's no proof they did it for openly racist reasons.

Trump signed a bill that exempted 80% of lending institutions from having to report their loan and mortgage practices by race. EXACTLY what you just called for, and Trump straight up rolled back the exact regulation that you were calling for.

They he followed it up by pulling back disparate impact regulation, so that even if you DID find discrimination by race in their loan and mortgage practices, you couldn't do anything about it unless you could prove they did it on purpose.


A Provision Hidden in the Banking Bill Could Hurt Black Homeowners

Trump Is Making It Easier to Get Away With Discrimination


I mean, you can't get more on-target than that. EXACTLY the issue you were talking about being a big problem, and Trump is 100% behind making the problem worse.

We have been blindly voting democrat, but if we want the party to represent us properly, then we need to take over it and stop putting white or token democrats in charge. We need to vote our people in, not the people they show us.

We ask the Dems to do it, because 25% of primary voters are Black; you can't win the nom w/o majority Black support(last Dem to win the nom w/o Black support was in either 88 or 92), and high Black turnout was a driving factor in Obama winning.

Our leverage is with the Dems, either you come through for us, or you take another L to Trump, simple as that.

Yes it did

Yeah, it did!

Are you blaming Trump on Black Americans?

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

But under Trump I have become a home owner. Obama ain't do shyt for me, I mean even George Bush gave me an $800 check at least. Republic policies are better for our bank accounts. Dems policies are murder on our bank accounts.

So you are a new homeowner? Do you pay pmi? Because that was actually deductible before this new tax code. Anyways I found this post ironic since I actually ended up owing more in taxes under this new tax law.

Sessions wanting more cops on college campuses somehow makes blacks the victim.

Black students are disproportionally harassed and arrested by campus cops. This, in combination with regulations making it harder to go after crooked cops is a bad situation for black folks

the “economic growth, regulatory relief, and consumer protection act” was created to defeat Dodd Frank, not to make it possible to deny black people loans.

I'm talking about c00n Carson's new HUD regulations that ease up on disparate impact, making it harder to lodge discrimination complaints. Pay attention.
Act like removing restrictions on denying loans to people based on race won't result in more racial discrimination, brehs.
