I refuse to believe that 75% of blacks will willingly let the Left put their foot on their necks and fit them with shackles. I keep thinking it has to be a smaller number, but every election cycle, I have to realize that any Republican would be thrilled to get 15% of the black vote.

I have heard that if 25% of blacks voted non-Democrat, it would be a death knell to the Democrat party.

It might well be if they weren’t the ones counting the votes. I sometimes wonder if that might be the driving force behind their pell mell dash to bring Mexico into the United States via illegal immigration. We know all Leftists approve of this madness, but maybe they are trying to get as many in before the political pendulum starts swinging away from them.

Not that long ago, the Democrats were getting between 90-95%
of the Black vote. I understand that it is now down to about
85%. It’s headed even lower.

While those numbers are still concerning, I think it’s
representative of a group of people who are awakening to
how they have been used.

To a certain degree we have been too, so I’m not focusing
on them exclusively.

We’re trying very hard to loft a better quality of Reps.
Hopefully we can make some headway.

A good friend whose grandparents came from Greece said his grandmother almost stopped taking to him, because he said at the dinner table that he was voting for Bush and not Dukakis. He relayed that in that community, it was like being a war criminal if you didn’t vote for Dukakis.

It didn’t matter that the Greeks were proud Americans - he said his “Yaya” cried when PBS played the Star Spangled Banner before signing off like they did back in the day - it became a tribal thing in 1988.

There MAY be something to the writer’s comment about the pardons. Now, I suspect most working people (black or whatever) looked sideways at those pardons. But as FReeper Mermaid Girl wrote, “ I worked at a treatment center for troubled teens back when Trump was president. The girls knee jerk hated him... but a lot of my baby gangsta boys thought he was the Pimp Daddy and a good president — mostly because he meant jobs for black people. But they had to keep the Trump love quiet. It was so strange.”

My Greek friend said his Mom stood by him, but she too probably voted for the Tank Driver. It will be interesting go to see if the children of legacy black Dems start moving away from the party that even our dear lost writer agreed did jack squat for blacks even during the Obama years.
