U.S. senate elect Doug Jones won big with the African American vote.

According to the Washington post Jones got 96% of the African American vote.

93% of the men voted for him.

African American women led the vote at 98%

DeJuana Thompson helped organize a program called "Woke Vote."

Organizers targeted hundreds of African American churches, businesses and college students at HBCUs (Historically Black College & Universities) statewide.

"We're talking about making sure that every HBCU had a campus coordinator," Thompson said. "We gave them buttons T-shirt's some of the students did a study Jam for 'Woke Vote' and they brought in people and they had to commit to vote when they came in the door."

Other group partners also made a push to get votes from those in jail.

Getting the 22,000 write-in votes likely helped as well.

Yes it does! Race baiting works!

Now why does it work?

The iron shackles and the leather bullwhips have given place to golden shackles and lying tongues. That’s why! Plus, we’ve let people skate if they are superficially conservative.

Roy probably was as sexually virtuous as anyone. But it was other aspects of his manner that kept him from putting up an optimal defense. Senators used to duel didn’t they? Roy not passing a cutthroat battle might have been more useful than we imagined.

What paid off is finding these women from 40 years ago and parading them in front of a camera. If Roy Moore had learned from Trump how to deal with this he would be Senator elect today. Thats why Trump is Trump, Roy is Roy.

I’d still make the counter-crack to this “well they might make him a comedian!”

This is Roy’s problem. In his safe courtroom he’s one thing. Caught like deer in headlights he’s another.

Either that, or if lacking the stomach, he could have ceded the nomination to someone else. Why not let Strange or Brooks have the heartaches and headaches? While himself cowboying off into the sunset, dignity intact.

Ironically, they may have made the abortion of many of their unborn permanent, if Trump does not get his next 3 supreme court nominee’s approved because of “Ala Came Jones”.

Slow walking Jones, Slow talking Jones.

There is a racism problem, and it’s that we don’t know what to do with racism problems.

Our key observation should be that it’s Satan who is pushing racism — belittling ideas about races.

The answer? Elevate God! Gladly point up the fortes of each race, knowing and celebrating their contribution to a glorious whole. Here’s where our dear secular lefties can’t even do diversity right.

Jones will make it more difficult. But not yet impossible.

Trump could horse-trade pro-life for economics that are more lefty friendly. If the Constitution as we first got it had to take a ding, I’d rather it be about dollars than about souls. We can mint dollars. Only God mints souls.

Liberal know-it-alls love to pontificate about racial generalizations, and invented the term "racism" to describe it.

However, when you look at the statistics—crime, voting, legitimacy rate—the statistics are unequivocal and leave no wiggle room for interpretation.

There is no "diversity" in these Alabama statistics. These stats describe a monolithic robotic block, for which there is no room for nuance. It is in your face and very well describes the objective behavior of a specific racial group.

One can infer that the term "racism" actually means "Dorothy, don't look at that man behind the curtain!" The word "racism" has morphed into a synonym for statistical reality.

The only comfort I get out of this election is that God sees and knows all. There is no dignity and honor in deceit, lying, fraud and relying on tools of el diablo to win. It’s a gain the world lose your soul event for many in their tainted, shallow victory.
