Sen. Elizabeth Warren faces an uphill climb in winning support from African American voters, say Democratic strategists and other political observers.

While Warren (D-Mass.) has been moving up in recent polls, she has struggled to lure black voters to her campaign.

A Fox News survey released last week showed Warren receiving 8 percent among black voters, a grim statistic if she is looking to win the nomination.

A separate poll by the Pew Research Center found that while former Vice President Joe Biden received 29 percent of support among African Americans, only 4 percent were throwing their support behind Warren. More black voters also named Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as their pick.

“We definitely need to do better there,” one Warren ally acknowledged. “We can't win without support from the black community. Period.”

Biden has dominated polls of black voters so far.

Maybe she can hire Jay-Z to give her cred with blacks.

Or hip-hop campaign ads.

Mayor Pete isn't doing to well with black either.

He went to a black neighborhood and only whites showed up:

What, in the primary?

Blacks are the most monolithic voting bloc in the country. They vote like 90% Democratic every time, every election, regardless of the year (GOP wave year, Democratic wave year), the candidates, the state the election is being held, etc. Around 90% every time, without fail.

I’m convinced a presidential election between Tim Scott (R) and David Duke (D) would result in 85% black vote for Duke.

Or if she would just run a DNA test showing that she is .00000000000000001% black, she could claim to be down with the struggle and ask for reparations.

Lieawatha already kissed Sharpton’s ring and promised slavery reparations, so I doubt there’s anything she can say at this point that will help her on this front.

I heard she had a Transfusion

Perhaps if she can make a familial tie with kunte kinte.

[Alas Babylon!]

Warren-Kapernick 2020!

So I guess now Lizzy will drop the Injun story and pretend to be black, like that Rachel Dolezal broad.

[Red Badger]

....and start talking in a southern black preacher drawl.............

[small farm girl]

She should do more videos featuring her Sambo figurine. That should help.

[NFHale]

She’s a real piece of work, ain’t she...

[Red Badger]

She’s a real piece of something, alright.........

[NFHale]

I was being nice, because I’m in a halfway decent mood today.

But “Grumpy Pr*ck Hale” is still lurking below the surface, don’t worry. I’m not going all wobbly. :^)

A Warren/Harris ticket is the clear path to victory.

"Turns out, my entire ancestry is white European, just like Pokahonkey's, the difference being, I've never tried to keep it a secret. Kameltoe's got slaveowner ancestry and is a ruthless corrupt lawyer and politician, the like of which doesn't play well. I served behind Barack. Bernie's just an old do-nothing overpaid commune hippie with two mansions."

...Biden received 29 percent of support...
