Jacksonville, Fla. — During those two electric Novembers, the chance to elect a black president, and then keep him in office, seized Regenia Motley’s neighborhood.
Nightclubs were registering voters. Churches held fish fries after loading buses that ferried parishioners to the polls. A truck hoisted a big sign that said “Obama.” And residents waited in long lines at precincts across the community.
But as Motley and some friends sought shade recently under a mulberry tree and looked across the landscape of empty lots and abandoned houses that has persisted here, they wondered whether they would ever bother voting again.
“What was the point?” asked Motley, 23, a grocery store clerk. “We made history, but I don’t see change.”

“I also predict that unless we elect Cruz, the American people and the republicans will leave the communist czars and moles in place.”
I am absolutely certain of it.
~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~ Ted Cruz is the only true Conservative in this race.
I totally agree.You just cant fix stupid and blacks and whites showed how stupid they were a second time in 2012.
Disillusioned black voters ask: Is voting even worth it
Not if you keep voting for the Democrats it is not.....
“We ain’t much better. We are not willing to lose battles to win the war.”
So true. George Washington lost many a battle, until he WON the war. We must keep fighting. Never give up. Enough with the negative talk. Keep in mind it will be up to us to show what we’re made of. So when we lose a battle, we keep on going forward. Just like soldiers of wars past. If they could do it, so can we, and we MUST. May God bless us all.
No it’s not. You should all stay home.
Speak for yourself.
DEMS DONT GIVE A SHIZZLE ABOUT BLACKS...... NOW ITS THE ILLEGALS THEY WANT
JOE BIDEN OPENLY SAID IT
“THE future of the democratic party is with the illegals..”
Black voters and Conservative voters have this in common.
Barack is more red than black.
Some might call that "RAAAAAAAAACIST".
Others call it truth.
Hitlery is going to have a hard time getting out the black vote but she is “in noways tired”.
Bush's Fault.
His first executive order should have been a purge of the Executive Branch.
Instead, the "New Tone" meant the Clintonistas have enjoyed 20+ years of uninterrupted government power.
who supports ObamaTrade?
What’s wrong? Not enough religious people run out of the military or religious businesses prosecuted for not participating in homosexuality to suit Black “churches?”
No it isn’t. You should all stay home and never vote again. For anything.
I’d say no.
Just stay home. It doesn’t matter who gets elected, they aren’t going to cut you a big check from their stash.
If Obama didn’t do what you thought he would, then there’s no reason Hillary would do it for you either.
Just stay home.
Maybe the answer is that they should be voting on the basis of policies, not skin color.
Worth it? Not so long as you keep voting for those who keep you in thrall.

“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”—LBJ
