I don't think posters who dislike democrats are rooting for republicans, but are disillusioned with politics to the point where they want to see the country collapse.
What have the Republican Party done for Black People? Or some proposals they have introduced to help Black People?

I think it's because since majority of blacks vote for Democrats they feel that party should have something for blacks specifically, but in this country with republicans in the house trying to market policies like that will get struck down quick. Also some of the posters who don't like democrats don't do enough research on the policies that are helpful that Democrats backed because it helped everyone instead of only black people. But ultimately the problem are racist people who are backing Republicans is why the country is regressing.

Do we need the government to fix us or something? We can't do anything for ourselves?

Yeah. It's hilarious when you think of the public perception from the right on the two plans. Republicans these days have to be against it just because Obama's name is attached to it even though the heritage foundation laid the original groundwork for the plan a decade earlier. Then again Obamacare was a compromise on the original plan (btw fukk Joe leiberman)
Kinda goes to show you that anti blackness is more important than policy to them.

Black people in the South kill more Black people than Black people in the North isn't really a shot at Republicans.

You're right. Give them your agenda, instead of asking what is their agenda for you.

almost everything he cites happened before the parties switched.
opportunity zones are largely for tax deferment or tax cuts from capital gains which is why they probably supported it,
edit:
Trump-era Opportunity Zones meant to help low-income communities exploited by investors
Former President Donald Trump's 2017 tax plan created Opportunity Zones — a program of tax incentives to encourage investment in low-income communities. But as Paul Solman reports, that program has not necessarily spurred economic growth and jobs in distressed communities the way it had been...www.pbs.org
My question is this: why can't upper middle class or above Black people take advantage of that?

They've done things to help Black people as individuals but nothing to help the collective.
What do "Black People" need the government/politicians to help us with? Can "we" even agree on what these issues are and how they can be best addressed?
Serious question.

Historical
Using census data from 1960-2000, the authors trace the evolution of wages, employment, and incarceration rates for particular skill groups in the black and white populations. They then relate the trends observed in these variables to the increases in immigration experienced by each skill group. The observed correlations suggest that immigration is an important underlying factor influencing the observed trends. In particular, their analysis finds that a 10 percent rise in immigrants in a particular skill group significantly trimmed the wages of black and white men alike. For African-Americans, the decline was 3.6 percent. For whites, it was actually slightly higher: 3.8 percent. Beyond that, however, the black-white experience differed markedly, especially for low-skilled workers. Take employment rates: from 1960 to 2000, black high school dropouts saw their employment rates drop 33 percentage points -- from 88.6 percent to 55.7 percent -- the authors found in their analysis of census data from 1960 to 2000. The decrease for white high school dropouts was only roughly half that -- from 94.1 percent to 76.0 percent.
One reason, the authors argue, is that black employment is more sensitive to an immigration influx than white employment. For white men, an immigration boost of 10 percent caused their employment rate to fall just 0.7 percentage points; for black men, it fell 2.4 percentage points.
That same immigration rise was also correlated with a rise in incarceration rates. For white men, a 10 percent rise in immigration appeared to cause a 0.1 percentage point increase in the incarceration rate for white men. But for black men, it meant a nearly 1 percentage-point rise.

About 800 employees of the main Cloverhill Bakery on the Northwest Side and the company’s bakeries in Cicero and Romeoville lost their jobs when the audit found many were hired after presenting fake or stolen IDs.
...
Some might see what happened at Cloverhill as a sign of things to come under the Trump administration, with fears in corporate America and among immigrants of increased government crackdowns.
But the story of the 137,000-square-foot bakery in Galewood on the Northwest Side of Chicago appears to be more complicated than that. It precedes the Trump administration and involves tensions between African American and Hispanic workers, according to current and former employees, a former company consultant and a worker activist group.
“They’re being pitted against each other, so they don’t get along,” says Dan Giloth, a community organizer on the West Side. “We believe this is a divide-and-conquer strategy.
“Unfortunately in Chicago, there is a widespread segregationist employment model to contract out most of your production work through temporary agencies and look the other way when they target employees by race or immigration status,” says Giloth, a former union organizer who is project manager for the group Coalition Against Segregation of Employees. “The goal is to create a very vulnerable workforce — and keep the wages low.”
...
Aryzta bought Cloverhill in 2014. At the time, according to bakery employees and community organizers, most of the employees were natives of Mexico, most who’d been hired through Labor Network, a temporary-employment agency.
But many of those workers weren’t temporary in the dictionary sense of the word. Most were so-called “permatemps” — temp workers who actually were permanently employed at Cloverhill. Most had been there for years, at least, and some for decades.
In 2015, under the Obama administration, ICE inspected the documentation of Labor Network’s employees at Cloverhill. In May 2017, the Trump administration sent letters to about 800 employees, saying they weren’t authorized to work in the United States, records examined by the Chicago Sun-Times show.
Those Hispanic employees didn’t return to work, leaving the bakery desperate to fill their jobs. So the company turned to another placement agency, Metro Staff Inc., and it provided Cloverhill with workers screened through the government’s “E-Verification” program. Most of those new employees are African American.
....
According to a former consultant to the bakery, MSI paid the black workers $14 an hour, versus the $10 an hour the Mexican workers were making through Labor Network.

Oh, and I didn't forget this little slick shyt neither.
Negged and reported for ignorant, uninformed, anti black psycho-babble, receipts in my last post.
Republicans could "disavow White Supremacists" and their policies on education, health, housing, guns, police, justice system, the environment, etc. would still fukk over Black Americans. They'd have to do a LOT more than just disavow White Supremacists to get a significant Black vote. And they won't do it, because their entire financial base is corporations that make their money off of exploitation and stopping the exploitation would kill the gravy train.
