Oldiesfreak demonstrates why Republicans will never win more than 20% of the black vote.
Actually hes right.. sort of. Blacks for the most part have been hoodwicked look no further than places like Baltimore. There are problems within the black communites that if libreal Democrats brought attention to it would help a lot. They never do, but instead rely on created bogeymen for example "criminal Justice reform" Its basically lets take police out of your communites. Of course this plays well with blacks because real or perceived the police are out to kill black men with the aid of the MSM who twists the actual facts. Blacks simply don't realize that the same liberal politicians push pollices that do nothing but hurt black advancement(illegal immigration).
Black advancement into what? Construction and landscaping? (I won't say agriculture, seeing as we're talking about Baltimore here. Though, not that there is any evidence at all that black people would love to fill in those agriculture jobs any more than a white guy would). You're trivializing a complex matter. Illegal immigration is Trump's scapegoat but it isn't quite the boogeyman he is making out to be. Building that wall and deporting those people won't lift blacks nationwide from poverty.
Crime in the city is a systemic problem that goes beyond what each party has to offer. You think Republicans would be better in administering these population centers with their unsympathetic tough-on-crime bs? Locking up a huge amount of the country's black men and labeling them criminals is the problem, not the solution!. The war on drugs has helped cripple inner cities even further, and Republicans remain the most staunch defenders of this. Democrats have had no real sustaining ability to change these drug laws locally, because it has to start at the federal level, where Republicans have been in firm control of either legislating or obstructing since the mid 90s. And please don't mention things like marijuana, or states' rights stuff, because any city that tried to legalize or even decriminalize hard drugs would experience hell from the federal government on a biblical scale.
Another radical thought is that the current Republican party agenda doesn't fit well with the interests of African Americans. Policies on education, healthcare and social programs runs counter to the desires of non-white voters in general. The GOP has made basically zero effort to try and formulate policies that appeal to these voters, and yet still some want to instead call blacks "brainwashed" or "hoodwinked". The classic argument of "I don't need to work to appeal to them, they are stupid if they don't like our agenda and eventually they will come around when they wise up!"[/i]
Of course this plays well with blacks because real or perceived the police are out to kill black men with the aid of the MSM who twists the actual facts.
Funny, these black communities seem to have a different opinion on this matter, seeing as they actually live through these issues and aren't just spectating from a far - Or maybe you live right in a bad neighborhood, I dunno, but you're still trying to say that they just don't understand, and that the police who frequently imprison and murder them are just helping them...
This whole 'they don't know what's good for them' argument needs to die already. The vast majority of police aren't racist or even terrible people, but for numerous reasons they unfairly target black people far, far more often than whites and they destroy their communities as a result. They use overwhelmingly force as if it's the only f**king option, ever. This has been going on for far too long and has essentially destroyed the African American family unit. No one is saying take a chainsaw to police departments, but let's not be ignorant and deny that they have gone off the rails for decades now. There should be nothing wrong with admitting that our police and criminal laws aren't nearly as fair, unbiased and helpful as we need them to be.
How about we listen to the concerns of the African American community and implement some of their ideas, instead of just brushing them off and calling them hoodwinked? After all, they constitute a large part of this country and they deserve to be heard.
Exactly.
Seriously what policies incentives have the GOP pushed in the last twenty years that would give Blacks(and other minority groups for that matter) any reason to vote for them? Some Republicans need to stop treating blacks as if they are gullible children, as a voting bloc they are no different then rich old guys who vote Republican, AKA they vote for who will help their own self-interest.
Until the GOP drops this entitlement attitude when it comes to votes, then they will never make in-roads with not only Blacks, but any other non-white group in America.
