This is incredible. It is precisely what the Restore the Dream 2014 movement is all about, changing minds and changing hearts while helping black people realize that the Democrat Party does not help, they damage on a consistent basis.
The woman called into C-Span during the time when Barack Obama was doing his early voting. She identified herself as Joyce and indicated that she is an 82-year old black grandmother who has been a Democrat her entire life, but voted straight down the Republican ticket this year. Her voice is filled with both anger and passion as she explains why she has left the Democrat Party.
It is worth listening to the entire two-minute segment. She begins by saying, “First, let me start by saying that I am an 82-year old, black, senior citizen grandmother and I voted straight Republican because I have been noticing for years what the Democrat party have done to my people.”
She then unleashes stone, cold facts on the devastation the Democrat Party has unleashed on blacks and how her eyes became opened to their ways. She’s in Texas and had some choice words for Democrat candidate for governor Wendy Davis that I’m sure the Davis campaign will not want to use in a campaign ad.

Alas, the wisdom that age can give us.

I have many black Republican contacts in Twitter. It’s spreading. And, boy, are they pissed!
Too little, too late.
Maybe Joyce should run for office.
Yeah, at work in 2000 an AA coworker said to me,”You don’t expect blacks to vote for Republicans do you”? I said,”Of course”.
Romney should have had Allen West as his VP candidate.
Hey, Eric Holder! Here is someone who can talk about race and is not a coward.
This woman sounds like my own dear Mother. God bless her and her very fortunate children and grand children.
“Alas, the wisdom that age can give us.”

I’m that exact age and I am not wise at all.

Pretty much. The damage has been done, and little will be done to stop the next two years of it. The mindset of the typical RAT voter will not be swayed easily.
Hope springs eternal ... LOL!
While understanding her sentiments, there are plenty of conservatives who have been noticing for years what the Republican party have done to our people!
I posted about this two days ago. But it’s always good for a re-re-peat.

Yeah but it sure beats the alternative.
“It’s spreading. And, boy, are they pissed!”
I admire her, and they should be pissed. They = us. We need to end divisive politics, and we need to stand up for each other, as Americans.
Yep, but they had to try and find a libtard that could make 1/2 as much sense - they’re still trying.
