Politico: Democrats Underperforming W/ Black Voters

[Vilify]

ASSUMING YOURE BLACK...
WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT YOUR LIFE
UNDER TRUMP THAN IT WAS UNDER OBAMA?





​

Higher racism anxiety levels. Trump is the first president in my lifetime with an open white nationalist in his administration.

My health insurance is high as fukk.

My mother's health insurance which I also pay is high as fukk because ACA was gutted.

Those are personal circumstances that can be overcome. The damage Trump can do through the courts will last decades. His stance on police brutality, racial profiling, affirmative action, affordable health care etc..

Some black people feel this is all a game and want to "watch the world burn".

If Trump is this brazen in his 1st term, I can't imagine what he'll be like in his 2nd term.

Anyone asking for reparations, and reparations ONLY, is not a serious person.

HBCUs overwhelmingly serve the Black students who need it - there are HBCUs where almost the entire student body qualifies for a Pell Grant and they're dealing with state austerity measures that slashed their budgets while still fighting for the students.

I understand this. But, making them free doesn't fix them.

You'd have to explain that to me.

Wow. "These openly anti-black policies don't affect me personally yet, so fukk other black people that are affected by them"...

If I decide to cast a vote, it’s for my own self interests, not yours or anyone else.

It makes access to them easier, even with all of the conversations about "not enough trades" we as a people still face the lowest levels of college entrance and graduation as well as graduate-level work. Impoverished AAs still face numerous barriers - make it as easy for them as possible. Forces federal and state funding to them (the public ones).

This is horrific praxis - your political decisions do affect others - but "do you" breh.

As someone who believes the power of life and death is in the tongue I believe we have to get away from saying prison reform and the like are "black issues" all black people aren't criminals.

Why are we still saying voter Id laws are racist? I had to show ID to go to a rated R movie not too long ago, and I had to show id at the liquor store. Are they racist for that? Has anyone on this board ever met a person that cares about politics that couldn't afford an ID. When I think of people without IDs I immediately think of drug addicts and undocumented immigrants. In fact when you combine them not wanting people to have to show ID to vote with their calls for open borders, it starts to look like someone wants to be able to easily cheat at the polls

Isnt it crazy how the trade war was supposed to crash the economy just a few months ago, now its "I have to pay a dollar more for a newspaper". and idk if I totally believe that because newspapers are a dying industry, you would think they would be charging more to try to stay solvent.

Someone should do a live stream on the occupy Democrats Facebook page and read the story of Chicken Little, I dont think they grasp the concept

So, just stop voting!?!? Stop putting accountability on public officials?

Imagine if MLK had that mentality when fighting for black people rights?

I've always said there should be a course taught to every Black person on the Compromise of 1877. Just on that election alone, which was another time they used the electoral college to steal an election, except this time it was all about Black people.
