If the left woulda actually done a few things over the years to help the black community they might not be in this mess. The total disregard and taking them for granted is astounding.
So true. But fortunately, there are at least more blacks who see through it now.
There have always been blacks like Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, and others like them who have seen through it, but now it has filtered into the black mainstream.
If true, and I think it is, that is a real problem for the Left. It isn’t just that they lose those votes, it is that they lose them and we gain them...by and large, a zero-sum game.
They are going to have to make up those votes somehow, and they won’t get them by appealing to the stupid “undecideds”.
“If the left woulda actually done a few things over the years to help the black community they might not be in this mess. The total disregard and taking them for granted is astounding.”
As a perfect example, if they cared so much about blue collar workers (traditionally one of the most loyal Democrat-supporting groups out there, for many decades), why would they let in millions of immigrants how would compete with the blue collar workers for lesser-skilled jobs? Why would they allow or encourage the destruction of our manufacturing base to China and other places overseas? Ditto (to an even higher degree) with the black community; how many hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of blacks lost jobs (or never had a chance for a job, because it didn’t exist by the time they entered the workforce) due to the massive immigration over the last 50 years that was (plainly to anyone with eyes and a functioning brain) intended to change the electorate and thus dilute the votes of EVERY citizen of this country? But that’s what you do if you’re a Collectivist; you know that you have successfully brainwashed a large group of people into voting for you for multiple generations, and you thus take for granted that this will continue forever (thus showing your utter contempt for the ability of that group to observe events and think for themselves, by the way), and then you move on to acquire (or buy, with US tax dollars) a whole new group.
Well, thankfully, it appears that a lot of people in the black community are finally waking up to the empty words of the Democrats, finally waking up to the fact that the Dems haven’t actually done ANYTHING for them except to create a virtual plantation for them all over the country - no actual chains or whips, but actually something far more insidious, far more dangerous, far longer lasting - the warping of minds so as to have people willingly enslave themselves to them. I am very glad to finally see that many in the black community are finally waking up to the lies of the Democrats/Collectivists - it bodes well for the future of this country, and not just for them.
BTW, I am Jewish, and very much the same phenomenon is present in much of my community - but Jews are very stubborn creatures, and the change is far slower. For a group of people who are supposedly smarter than average (and I have my doubts about that, just by observing the mindset of Collectivist Jews), the Jews as a group have really allowed themselves to be snookered and taken advantage of for at least the last 75 years (since it became clear that FDR and the Dems really and truly didn’t give a rat’s ass what happened to our cousins in Europe). My true joy, if I ever live to see it, will be for a solid 30% - 40% of the Jews in this country to be solidly conservative and voting Republican (yeah, I know, I’m far more likely to go outside today and see a flock of flying pigs blot out the sun, but can’t a guy dream?).
It was easier for democrats to run on the same issues with the black community and NEVER help them...
Every four years democrats would promise more jobs - but what they really meant 3 new nonprofits that offered 'job training' but no real jobs. When Trump said 'jobs' he meant JOBS. With paychecks that were NOT attached to the government.
Democrats threw away their most loyal voting block...
