Democrats need the black vote to win elections, but blacks are wary of fans who are all talk and no action. If the left wants to hold on to the ebony vote, they’re going to have to do their research. Here are 10 quirky traits to start with.

They love them for political use only.

The best way to help blacks is to ignore the fact that they’re black and just do what’s right for the country.

Here in Michigan black unemployment is still extraordinarily high but has fallen at a faster rate than anyone else. Race is seldom mentioned by Michigan republicans but republican policies are bringing jobs to where blacks happen to be.

If amnesty goes through the Democrats will have officially kicked Black voters to the curb. They won’t need them anymore because of the new illegal class. Are Blacks aware of this? Highly doubtful. Another sad episode of Democrats abusing Blacks for their own purposes.

Good find and great read! Funny but oh so true. At the end the writer admits he’s white, but he has a handle on the Black community and Black thinking.

“Liberals love blacks but they love them like a fantasy football team, not like human beings.”

True. Because to narcissists, any real feeling (minus sadness and rage) are apart from them, an abstraction. Something somebody else feels.
(they spend their time mirroring such to not be outcast in social situations)

“They’ve never met one.”
Sure they have, in the checkout line. What the author means here is that they’ve never really known one.

“They have no idea why some women have straight hair and how much that costs.”
yeah.

While I’ve always considered myself fairly well acquainted with black cultural habits, taboos and social norms due to having had a number of black people as friends over the course of my life, I have to say I am curious about this black people not camping thing, and the article said nothing about it that I could see. Black people fish, black people go hunting. Maybe the author is too urban to realize this. Or, maybe there’s something else going on and I’m the one missing a clue, lol. I’ve never really thought about it but can’t recall ever seeing a black person camping. There’s a sort of wackiness about the notion of a black family towing an Airstream heading off to wherever, I guess because it’s just such a stereotypically white thing to do. But again, I’ve never thought about it. Will somebody who knows the answer please chime in, lol?

This article reminds me of the scene in the movie “Fritz the Cat” where Fritz goes into the crow bar spouting off about how enlightened he is, how guilty he feels for being a cat, and how much he knows about the crows’ problems. Then he turns to the crow bartender and says, “Hey boy, give me a drink.”

lack of education

Isn’t it liberals who have been “educating” them as children?

We don’t know how much it costs to straighten hair and wonder why black people don’t camp?

Hair relaxer and straightening irons and yes black people do camp like everyone else.

I don’t wonder why anybody doesn’t camp-camping sucks!

It’s just like being at home only much more work

I quit reading after that

Idiot!

In 1966 I started working on the oil rigs in South Louisiana. These were the best jobs you could get. There were no blacks because they were discriminated against in those times. In 1969 I saw the first black working offshore on the rigs. He was a good guy and worked his ass off.

When I left the oilfield in 1983 I was seeing black roustabouts, black engineers, etc. A good job is the answer to black poverty. A good education is the answer to black poverty. Good laws against discrimination are the answer to to the stupidy of prejudice. The Democrat party does not help the black man. The Democrat party keeps him on the plantation.

ps
My boss is black and I could not ask for a better man. He grew up in the time of bad discrimination in the 60s. He became a pharmacist and did not blame others. He seized the dream despite the obstacles placed in his path.
