Name the states where the Black vote is larger than the anti-Black white vote.
Republicans explicitly chased the anti-Black white vote because in every Southern state, there are far MORE racists than there are Black people. That's what the whole "Southern Strategy" is, the Republicans openly said they're looking for "negrophobes". Why would they risk their racist vote in order to get a smaller Black vote, when they already control nearly all of those states anyway?
From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.

The Republican goal isn't to win the Black vote. The Republican goal is just to siphon off 10-20% of the Black vote while building their base on racist whites.
Make Dems bend the knee? That's sounds dumber than I what I thought you'd say. What do you think happens while Republicans are in power as you wait for Dems to bend the knee? They consolidate power, gerrymander the shyt out of states to stay in power, pass more law AGAINST tangibles for black people, put more judges in power to agree with those laws, put more money into private schooling and withdraw funding from public schools (thus harming black students), pass more laws restricting your ability to protest against laws you feel are unjust, further militarize and "take the lease off" police in black communities, etc. I can keep going. In the meantime, black people just suffer these things while waiting for the next few election cycles and Dems promise to cater to you and you only.
Now when you finally get those special Dems who promise to cater to your every "tangible" desire, how the hell do you get him elected on a strictly pro-black agenda if no other racial group votes for him? If you haven't noticed, black people only make up 14% of the population.
You sound like one of those fools who believes the "Stop Asian Hate" bill was a tangible for Asian people.
At least have a plan that makes sense.
I know you will scream to the top of your lungs "fukk both parties." But ultimately, the result of the #Bothsider plan is to concede power to Republicans, blacks become more marginalized and demonized, and we just accept it.
Fixed that for you16-18% of Black men are creating all of those single mothers. Yet here you are trying to add in the other 82% into the Blame. Also, if the church stopped being a parasitic organization that takes and never gives, then perhaps more men would return to the church.
If you know so much, answer The QuestionYou won't explain the next step because there is no next step. You have no damn solution because you're full of shyt. Black people just stop voting and that's it. Everything will be 100% ok after that according to #bothsiders. Withdraw from the political process. It's fuk politics and your constitutional rights, black people should just worry about their favorite NFL team, the Drake and Kendrick battle, passport bros, is Diddy gay, and all the other bullshyt in popular culture.
That's what #bothside gang wants? It's damn sure not "tangibles," because you're not even thinking about step 2. Meanwhile ignore what bigots are doing push back the progress black people have made, thus further marginalizing us. But hey, at least you will still have the democrats to blame. c00nish behavior
bytch ass nikka i was in the military i know that we wasted hella cheese every single FY on dumb shyt. Copped fly ass oak desks and office furniture every FY just because our unit budget gets decreased by whatever we dont use every FY. Ordering a bunch of pointless shyt out a ULine catalog just to not be broke next FY.Yes we have the most bloated military budget on the planet and our government is indeed much quicker in funding military and national security than civil rights causes.
Did you just start following politics two years ago? Yall really think this simple minded barbershop babble makes sense.
Let’s start by saying voting Republican is not the answer
However, I’ve been saying Dems have a huge problem they’ve refused to address. The game plan of waiting until election season to get us on there side is played out
Tryna push each election as the most important ever. Fear voting is played out. We have a couple generations who’ve seen the play & are no longer falling for it. Add in all these foreigners coming over (whether it’s true or not) getting benefits we have to fight for is the nail in the coffin. Perception matters
Now unfortunately because these idiots didn’t do what they needed Trump has a chance to be back in office. That fool political career should have been got packed.
to amber rose. There goes my cape verdean
Was Slavery race based legislation? Was Redlining race based? You can prove that the war on Drugs is at the very least race based. Numerous laws on a federal level were race based and thus race based reparations can be for demanded in payment for damages. If reparations were just about slavery you might have a point but race-based antagonist laws against Blacks exist into present day. Think of all the living Black homeowners who were directly affected by redlining alone?
Again another example of Dems don't have the power, but fear the power of Republicans. Why vote for powerless do-nothings?
If biden did even a fraction of what be talked about in his state of the union he'd have my vote. The problem is he hasn't and had no intention to fulfill any of those promises.
It's time we blame the people responsible
Absolutely but that's what infuriates me about the #bothsides label. As soon as you talk about holding them responsible some smart azz hits you with that hashtagThe Democrats arent going to do anything for Blacks anytime soon because they know theres a natural and common sense distrust and dislike for Republicans..they dont have to campaign to you because they know you cant run into the supremacist arms of the Republicans..

It’s 2024. Most of the people who voted in 1970 are dead.
You’re basically playing by their rules. Confined in a neat little bubble.
All I’m saying is why can’t the black vote and constituency be just as savage. We created an entire genre of music and culture that is now global. But we don’t know how to be organized enough to affect the very government and system we bytch and complain about.
In 2024, nikkas still talking about civil rights. Black people in this country have created a permanent excuse for shyt.
It’s not about what party black people vote for, it’s about which party we can finesses. It damn sure ain’t the Democratic Party. They been finessing black people every election cycle for decades.
