Today, on a press call held in honor of National Voter Registration Day, the AFL-CIO released new data revealing black women voters as the key to electing Hillary Clinton president in November. The data reveal that black women turn out to vote in higher numbers than other women and, just as they helped President Barack Obama win in 2008 and 2012, can secure the presidency for Hillary Clinton.

"Black women cannot afford to sit this election out," said Carmen Berkley, AFL-CIO director of civil, human and women’s rights. "A loss for Secretary Clinton is a loss for the black family, from the White House to the Supreme Court. We need to let our communities know what's at stake if we let a divisive fear monger like Donald Trump make decisions that affect everything from our families to our jobs."

Well,that seems kinda racist to me,guess the AFL-CIO only cares about women members of a certain color.

With 72% illegitimacy, self destruction.

Some people never learn

They need to watch Diamond and Silk.

Guess they like women who protect rapist/pedophile men...

[HWGruene]

Black women I know absolutely hate hillary.

They vote, and it shows. That’s why our country is in decline.

Diamond and Silk

Boooyah

Scrolling through Twitter, I see a lot of young, attractive black women proudly showing off their Trump tshirts and hats. I hope this is a good sign.

It’s really only about union LEADERS protecting their POWER and MONEY. How does a union member benefit if all their jobs go overseas?

Trump is the only one that can save our jobs.

So the AFL-CIO is encouraging black women to vote for the party that runs the cities where their kids are being gunned down in such alarming numbers?

Who are the real racists?

[DIRTYSECRET]

Our opening is with black men. They prefer white women. Can you blame them?

I really don’t understand it. There are plenty of intelligent attractive black women out there but the first thing so many black men do is get them a white woman if they get a little fame and fortune.

I wonder how black women feel knowing that is the case.

First the democrats set them up in taxpayer paid public housing so that they are all conveniently living all close together. Then they send the school busses to all of those housing projects to round up the baby mamas and taking them voting. Then they take the buses to other towns where they get to vote a second or third time.

Pro-athletes, sure. And it's not always white women. Asian or Latino as well. But it's frowned upon among Black middle class professionals.

Magic black women? That would be Bahianas from Brasil. The sexy ones will croon to you rather than speak. Their tonal voices will sing the Portuguese to you, laden with local giria to the point where you wish you had a Brasilian urban dictionary to know when to take off your clothes. The effect is truly magic...oh wait, you wrote "election"....

/lol...
