WASHINGTON Weeks ago, on a kickoff call for the final stretch of the election with the Democratic National Committees Black Caucus, Interim DNC Chair Donna Brazile seemed concerned about the amount of resources at her disposal to turn out the black vote. (snip)
Please, please, please, she pleaded. Just make sure youre doing something that raises the level of visibility of our entire ticket. We need every voter, we need everyone.
Then, Black Caucus Chair Virgie Rollins followed up. Pleading with organizers to do everything they could to get the black vote out, she reflected on the recent past: Black voters lined up en masse to vote for President Obamas re-election largely because of the racial pride his candidacy engendered. Since Trumps candidacy was doing the same for many white voters, Rollins told her organizers to tell people that this election is the most crucial.
Braziles opening remarks, as well as those by Rollins, were recounted Tuesday to BuzzFeed News by two independent sources on the call as evidence of unease about black turnout even before Clinton and Trump took the debate stage on Long Island. That anxiety has been validated by recent data showing poor early turnout from black voters in vote-rich Florida, a key battleground for Clinton that, if she wins, makes Donald Trumps path to the presidency quite difficult.
FiveThirtyEight reported the five counties in Florida with the highest percentage of black voters are not on pace with the statewide average of 79.4 in 2012. Gadsden County, near the states capital, had only reached 60% of all early in-person voting and vote by mail at the same point in 2012.

That definition is actually from Urban Dictionary, but my points remain.
So, either you don't know what it means, or you are for some reason deliberately trying to insult me, or you utterly failed to comprehend my point.
A Cuskservative remains convinced that somehow applying more logical argument will win over Black votes. It won't.
A Cuckservative is convinced in making a logical argument to Blacks that anybody can be racist, not just white people. It won't work.
This is about identity politics and r / K selection theory.
Yes, Blacks voted Republican 100 years ago. Things have changed. BIG TIME. They'll never leave the Democrat plantation and will never be convinced that white people aren't evil.
All I was doing was commenting on the hypocrisy of leftists/liberals.
Besides, they're not being hypocrites, in their minds.
They're playing identity politics and they've been doing it for decades.
It's well past time our side did the same.
