I voted only once
straight Republican.

Pandering and apologizing are the wrong way to go
150 years ago the lifeblood of over a half million white men became part of our soil in payment for the greatest mistake in our nation's history.
Slaves eventually gained citizenship, and TRILLIONS in 'interest' have subsequently been extorted from the average family, 99.9% of whom NEVER had ANY connection to slavery.
Any debt that was owing is long since paid in full.
I wish to God we'd have opted for flax>linen, or picked our own damned cotton.
Clearly, blacks aren’t the only problem since they are only about 13% of the population, but there are over 50% living free off the productive members of society. Why would those people give up their free cell phones you and I bought them? This Republic is doomed because we don’t have politicians who do what the country needs to be done instead of what gets them reelected.
Yes.
And those blacks who are not on the dole are the ones most likely to take advantage of affirmative action.
It really shouldn’t be a great surprise that they (and Hispanics) vote the way they do.
Fraud is serious problem and it seems to aided and abetted on a large scale by black churches and volunteers ensuring "no vote is left behind". It is anticipated that just having independent poll watchers sanctioned by the state will cut down on the voting scam's rampant in my area.
Beyond this initiative to keep the voting honest, the normal process is to appoint three people to each station, agreed upon between the County Chairs of the Republican and Democrat party, in open forum. This process allows each party to feign honesty in selection of trained poll workers; these people are paid a nominal fee, and they are essentially the government officials at for the elections at the voting stations.
The biggest problem I have personally seen is the aforementioned bus loads of voters who are bussed to every precinct with a name to vote at every station. This is organized fraud and makes one wonder how this can be considered an extension of the Christian Churches routine activities during election times.
I would be ashamed and couldn't live with myself if I could only get something through fraud, but then the rats have no shame

Not really, being that there are only 23 paragraphs and 15 of them are single paragraphs.
Shaming them about taking the "free stuff" doesn't appear to work, more's the pity.
It is difficult to run against Santa Claus.
Yes. Next question?
Good luck with that. Telling black Americans that they are responsible for their own problems would be like telling a person who is hitting himself in the head with a hammer to stop it only to be told by the person holding the hammer someone else is hitting them in the head. Namely nasty, white racists.
Six or seven thousand black males are gunned down every year by other black males but black Americans choose to focus on a few cases where black males are killed by police (almost all justified shootings) to show they are still victims of terrible racism.
In short, telling the truth does no good. They are resistant to facts and reality.
Yep. Our last chance to turn them was over gay marriage, and it appears the majority has decided to just shut up and keep cashing their checks.
The Democrats can invent new programs, throw money in all kinds of directions, and march with Al Sharpton in every city. At the end of the day, in 2034, are things better? Has anyone ever paid attention to that platform for black concerns? Want to maybe give it a try?
Honest, principled, consistent politics. Anything other than that is pandering, and no one panders better than the Democrats, so why try to compete?
I voted only once
straight Republican.
The same way some “conservatives” buy the GOPE line, two voting blocks of a kind, just different parties...
Perpetually abused and taken for granted, treated like dirt and they come back for more, although the democrats do open the government purse to their abused block of voters. The GOPE just doubles down on the lash to theirs.
Of course, that candidate would be immediately lambasted as a terrible racist. Something like they do now anyway with many craven Pubbies (Rand Paul) wagging their tails hoping for a pat on the head from the race vultures. I guess an honest candidate couldn't hurt more than craven pandering does now.
What I'd like to see:
Republican: "Blacks are their own worst enemies. The ghetto culture is opposed to education, marriage, jobs, or adherence to the law. If they behaved better, their socio-economic status would improve. This is not whitey's fault. It's all up to black people to fix themselves."
Media: "That man is a racist!!"
I see no downside to this. It's the same-old same-old, but at least we get to tell the truth.
