Yep, and they're called the "vital base" of the party. LMAO. 

umm... but they are? they make up like 30-40% of our total votes

Good move by the GOP and people laughed when I say that black Democrats might be willing to work with the GOP to create a 5-3 MAP or 6-2 MAP in the 2020's as long as black representation gets increased.

you realize it is easy to create a 7-1 map with 4 black seats? They may want back representation, but they are still Democrats.

the only black dem rn with enough seniority to make a request like that is cummings, and he is on the retire watch. not to mention that is totally different, because even a seat that isn't safe black is probably still safe democrat.

Black people have been overwhelmingly loyal to the Democratic party since the 1960s, they can very well be described as the vital base of the party.

Yet this thread's existence has shown evidence otherwise.

these are the black POLITICIANS, not the actual voters.
