Serious question: Do blacks really get short shrift in these issues or are the Dems saying they want more than everybody else’s share of opportunity? You know, are they upset about equal protection under the law, or are they asking for MORE ‘protection’ under the law?
91 appointments and 6 were black....
Okay that is roughly 8% of appointments being black..
I wouldd wager the percentage of black folks in florida is already around that level....
What, they wanted 50% of his judicial appointments to be black for so e reason.....
Dumbass race obsessed libs can’t even run a damned calculator...

I suspect black leaders know the political power of their voting block is going to be diluted by the rising Hispanic tide and whites increasingly voting as a block for self preservation in an increasingly racially polarized society. Their power is going to be reduced by the racial identity politics they’ve successfully employed to extract money from the treasury and more than equal protection from white liberals.
Under Obama, they are making a hard push to get as much as they can. By the 2020’s Hispanics will have many more voters and will by vying aggressively for the political offices in poor communities held by blacks. With competition will come conflict. As blacks are voted out of office, and replaced by young Hispanics, the government jobs in the bureaucracy will also go to Hispanics. Black politicians at the local level will lose both the elected positions and patronage jobs that give them power.
Today Hispanic and Hispanic leaders benefit from being on the Democrat plantation and are still content to accept a few crumbs while blacks and liberal whites control the power structure. What will happen when the day comes that Hispanic leaders controlling larger blocks of voters than black leaders demand their fair share of elected positions and patronage jobs. Will liberal whites and blacks in the Democrat power structure willingly give up power to placate Hispanics and keep the coalition together? Will liberal whites, who control the money and therefore the real power, demand blacks give up their positions so Hispanics can share power? If so, what will blacks do? If Hispanic leaders are delivering bloc votes but are being denied power by entrenched liberal white/black power structure, what will they do?
While blacks continue to portray white Republicans as their oppressors, they must be starting to worry about losing power to Hispanics inside their own party. If new Republican leaders, like Governor Scott, continue to hold the line against their unreasonable demands, black politicians are going to have to look within their own party for the pork and positions they need to take back to their constituents. Hopefully Republican leaders are beginning to realize if they refuse to cave to black demands when the racial card is played they are putting pressure on the cohesiveness of the Democrat coalition. It is inevitable Hispanics and blacks will come into conflict competing for political control in poor communities where blacks have wielded power for 50 years. As Hispanics grow in number the intensity of this conflict can only escalate. It has the potential to tear apart the Democrat party.
Political power derives from money and numbers of voters. Since liberal whites have the money, and Hispanics will soon have the numbers, forward thinking black politicians should be starting to realize white Republicans will not be the real threat to their power and position in the future.
Everyone knows that blacks are incapable of becoming educated, forming and maintaining intact, functional families, instilling a work ethic or stopping violent behavior. They won't ever choose to correct the deficiencies that have kept them subservient, so why even discuss it? (Is the < /sarc > tag really necessary, or would a < /unspoken RAT attitude > be more appropriate?)
They want felons to immediately have their voting rights because they assume same will vote Democrat. If felons were assumed to be potential Republican voters, the black caucus would not give a flying flip about the issue.
