Radio host Charlamagne Tha God on Thursday criticized black Democratic voters for what he called blind loyalty to the party.
Charlamagne’s comments on “The Breakfast Club” followed former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announcing on Wednesday that she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent and publishing a book. The radio host praised her departure from the Democratic Party, arguing that black Americans should not be tied to either major political party.

“I respect her being independent because I feel like if you black in this country, you shouldn’t be loyal to any party. You should only be voting your interests,” Charlamagne said. “You should only be voting for politicians who are implementing legislation and policies for your communities and your people. And if you ask me, none of these parties have done enough for us to be screaming we Republican or Democrat. So independent is the way to go.”
Jean-Pierre’s book is titled “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” and is slated for publication in October.
Charlamagne read a quote from a press release for the book, which he called “very interesting.”
“We need to be willing to exercise the ability to think creatively and plan strategically,” Jean-Pierre’s press release stated. “We need to be clear-eyed and questioning rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in the past.”
“And that right there is the problem with Democrat supporters, especially black ones — just blindly loyal and obedient for no damn reason,” Charlamagne said after reading the quote.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said on “CUOMO” in May that he was pleased with President Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory because he believed the Democratic Party has long manipulated black voters, including through “guilt” and scare tactics — rather than policy.
“I think, for the longest time, black Americans have played the role of suckers to the Democratic Party,” Smith said. “They’ve guilted us into voting for them, making us feel as if we’re going to be ostracized, creating division within our own communities or what have you to get our vote, instead of saying to us, ‘Hey, this is what we will do for you. And it will work better than what they’re offering.’”
Trump made gains with black voters in November, garnering 13% of their votes, including 21% of men, according to a CNN exit poll.
Charlamagne sometimes speaks common sense.
I just worry for others “independent” means completely doing away with Constitution, two party system altogether?
WE DON’T HAVE A TWO PARTY SYSTEM. We have a one party system with insiders and outsiders...........
“if you black”
Silly, lazy, ghetto Posing.
He’s not an Idiot, not stupid, knows English quite well.
But Grifters gotta grift.
He’s speaking to his audience..............in their language..............
If Charlemagne really wants to get some attention, he’ll mention LBJ’s famous statement about how n****rs will vote for Democrats for the next several decades (50 years?).
200 years IIRC.................
It’s all about the free cheese 🧀
Just look at Xiden, Commielaw, the Clinton crime cartel and Obeyme.
