The Party's Over: Black Voters Must Turn Out for Themselves
Black Entertainment Television ^ | 10/29/2014 | Joyce Jones

Democratic lawmakers aren't the only ones who will lose if African-Americans stay at home on Nov. 4.

The votes have not yet been cast or counted, but Republican operatives around the nation are already rubbing their hands together with glee. As Election Day grows nearer, the conventional wisdom is that the GOP will gain control of the Senate and perhaps an even tighter grip in the House.

The stakes couldn't be higher for President Obama. According to the grimmest scenarios laid out by some experts, his role, for all intents and purposes, will essentially be reduced to figurehead.

"What's at stake for him is literally the remainder of his presidency," Howard University political scientist Michael Fauntroy told BET.com. "He will spend the remaining two years fighting to maintain what's been implemented with regard to Obamacare and fighting off investigations. It's going to mean a stark change in the way his presidency concludes."

these blacks are our fellow citizens.

Exactly.

This is the sort of thing I use to reach out to blacks who ask "What has the GOP done for minorities"

That ship sailed long ago.

I have seen that. I pray for the Lord to open the eyes of the people to the evil of the marxists. As a group, few have been as aggregiously wounded as black Americans. When they awaken the dim’s will pay! I am looking forward to that day.

Black voters must get out and vote against democrats. Democrats destroy your families, murder your babies, encourage your children to become druggies and criminals, hook you on welfare, and ensure you are likely to remain enslaved to them for generations. We want you free and prosperous. We want you responsible for yourselves with the opprutunity to achieve your dreams. Think about this when you go to vote. Send the democrats and the propagandists packing. You deserve your freedom.


Hear, hear!!!

To American blacks: Why not improve your community? 50 years ago LBJ signed the civil rights law and what happened? MLK wanted to be respected by character not by skin color.

Why not invest in your future? Males, be a dad, NOT A SPERM DONOR! Females, don't have 5 kids by 5 guys. Black youth males, your future should be in school learning a trade, not playing sports. Only 2% of youths will ever make it to the pros - and very few will ever be a star. Black youth females, don't dress like you are selling yourself..

“As Election Day grows nearer, the conventional wisdom is that the GOP will gain control of the Senate and perhaps an even tighter grip in the House.”

The author clearly hasn’t taken into consideration widespread Democrat cheating, the registration of ineligible Mexicans, and the widespread rigging of voting booths to show a Democrat vote when a Republican vote has been cast.

There are two ads condemning democrats for hurting blacks. The one from Chicago activists, and Senator from LA who says Kay Hagan does nothing for them in NC.

You have no idea how frightening that is to many people who haven’t had a job in their fractured families in fifty years. Prosperous? Responsible?

I don’t think that message will win many over...

Really? The message is to get the folks out of the awful situation they are in. It is a multifaceted approach. The words I used describe the end point. The are not buzz words.

Blacks are starting to see the truth... There are NO white Tea Party members running their cities... it’s all white liberal elites and hand picked black democrats. And like in the video they can look around them and see there’s no change for the better. Just empty promises and a turkey around election time...

I hope so. Also conservatives, or should I say constitutionalists, need to speak directly to black Americans. We have answers to the nation’s problems and they need to hear them. But more importantly, we need to let black Americans know we want them with us. I look forward to the day.

I think it is a great approach; the problem is that people who haven;t had to make a decision for five decades are terrified of it. They have a very different understanding of the role of government than we do.

True enough. Something we will have to get past going forward. Setting up a proper business climate will help in that regard. Still it is a high hurdle.
