Republican Virginia Governor took DACA funding and gave it to HBCUs.

[Uachet]

LOL at all of the pseudo-political analysts on the first few pages. "It's a trap guys, beware!!!" fukking idiots. The substance of the matter is HBCU's got something tangible out of this. If the Republicans are just trying to siphon off black voters for their ulterior motives, who cares? That will just make Democrats have to fight for us more.

And in case you've been living under a rock the last 2 years, Hispanic voters are becoming more right-wing. I don't give a damn if they defund all of DACA and deport all of them.

This is definitely true here in Virginia. Here is the non-White break down on who voted Republican this last Governor's races:

Black: 16% of the voting population, 13% of our votes
Hispanic: 5% of the voting population, 32% of their votes
Asian: 3% of the voting population, 33% of their votes

Oh and Whites make up 73% of the voting population and gave 62% of their votes to Youngkin

So all of his cries and worries about what Black people are doing and the other 2 non-white groups are voting Republican per capita at almost 3 times the percentage rate as Black Virginians.

Also, we are all dwarfed by the decisions made by Whites here in the state, since White voters outnumber us all combined by 49% percentages of the entire electorate. So the Purple election nature of Virginia is a phenomena controlled directly by the White electorate.

So all of this talk about Divide and Conquer needs to be had with Virginian Hispanics and Asians. Black people have been supporting the Democratic party here in Virginia at a far greater clip than any of them so-called 'POC' allies.

Have we ever been united with Hispanics?

No, I grew up in LA from 75-85. We were not united with them even back then.

Some of y'all full of shyt. I remember that VA election night thread. Folks were in there defending immigrant populations openly saying they voted for this cat to send a message to Biden on foreign policy, and didn't give a damn if his agenda hurt locals here in America. Now y'all mad that he hit everybody with the reverse, and copping pleas

How come we haven't heard anything about the non-ADOS Ethiopians helping the Republicans win VA?

I'm curious to see if that same thing will happen in the presidential in minnesota

A lot of Black people, especially in the DMV area, are of immigrant origin. There are for sure, some Black students who are on DACA, and even for the ones who are not directly affected it will cause a dangerous precedent. Life is not a zero sum game and I hope you FBA knuckledraggers would understand that.

Well if those black immigrants think of us as “knuckledraggers” then I’m glad DACA is getting defunded. fukk em. As long as black Americans are getting the funds fukk anyone else. Fight for your own money.

The same dude in here bytching @Godless Liberal CEO said he can't blame them for voting Republican even though it's going to hurt Black Americans


Why aren't the immigrants that voted for him "idiots"

What's funny about this statement is Ethiopians getting Republicans elected not only will not help them, it will only hurt black Americans. Meanwhile, Biden and the other corporate dems will fall asleep in pools of money every night until they die. They won't suffer consequences only we will.

With that said no judgement from me. I can understand better than most a hatred for ANY American politician. It's why I don't have any smoke for middle eastern terrorists, I understand the rage. Ultimately y'all gotta do what y'all gotta do

So voting Republican out of anger and hatred is fine, but accepting a policy change in your favor from a Republican is a bridge too far? Is his judgement and venom only reserved for Black Americans? I wonder, but beyond that I see I should not take anything this guy says seriously anymore.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

This is an incredibly naive take at best. Also, don't make the mistake of conflating shrewd business with good governance.

Naive? I rather listen to black BILLIONAIREs than you breh. Don Peebles, Robert Johnson and others have said the same. The republicans are much more transactional than democrats. Trump was willing to listen to A black agenda and came up with the Platinum plan. Biden has yet to even talk about a black agenda that doesn’t include LGBT and POC. Trump stood in front of the nation and said black Americans built the country but never get credit for it. Biden says this country was built by immigrants.

Y’all really gotta step back and value your vote no matter which side it’s going to. We need tangibles this is end game for black Americans. I’d vote p

Something folks need to learn is that politicians don't love you regardless of R and D. People need to start thinking about the end results instead of means. In fact, an ideal politician is someone who may disagree with what they are voting on, but they vote for what their voters want. They should be just an empty medium to voters. Folks clown that Republican congressman voting against codifying gay marriage before attending his sons gay marriage. But, his voters put him in office to vote that way and despite how he personally feel, he voted the way his voters want.


Black people need to start viewing and treating democrats and all politicians the same way. Stop caring about what the person as an individual feels and think and more about their actions as a politician and how they help in implementing your political agenda while in office. Republicans and nonblack voters have already reached that point of understanding. It's time for black folks to do the same. If a Republican can give black people more of their wants, even if they have a different intention than you, then in that case, rock with the person who does more for you. The other politician/party instead of getting mad and shaming you should be asking themselves "what can I do to get this person back to support me?"

It's time for black folks to adopt a new paradigm in politics.

Very eloquently written. You have expressed my sentiment clearly.

You will never see my put on cape and dance to any republican tune. Ever.

That said, if the republicans are so open to hearing black grievances and have an earnest interest in ameliorating the conditions of African Americans as a whole, why did they go the litigious route and stonewall the application of a debt relief program aimed at black farmers?

Why, when the national discourse was rested upon police brutality and the murder of George Floyd, was the onus put on the black community, rather than any lack of police accountability and lack of any real reform?
