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 dead to the polls is the REAL key.

Who are we then? Europeans?


Until African-Americans give up that hyphen and assimilate to this society by tossing away that chip on their shoulders they are nothing but carry-over slaves. They were enslaved by the democraps and they still serve the democraps. How can they respect themselves by that action?

A black man that stands up for himself and his family and thinks for himself will give up that hyphen and realize he/she is a true American. All people have color bias and tend to stick with their own kind. Actually the Bible tells the Jews not to marry outside of their (race, religion, etc). I was raised by a mother and father that made it very plain to us children that we better not bring back a girl/boy date unless they had a vowel at the end of their name!

I have known, respected and loved (in a brotherly sense) many black men and women but every single one of them respected themselves, had compassion for all people and I never once heard them describe themselves as African-Americans. When I am in a foreign land and a local asks what nationality I am I don’t say Italian-American, I say PROUDLY that I am an American. I am proud to have Italian blood but that is always far in the background after God, country and loved ones.

Classic rat vote fraud in play. Deleted electronic vote records, out of state voters, high absentee ballots, etc. And, sadly, blacks yet again ignorantly voting against their own best interests (groupthink is laziness).

If Roy Moore had learned from Trump

It was more than just Roy. It was the RNC and McConnell throwing stones as well. THEY are the ones that need to learn from Trump. But since they are on the other team, they have nothing to learn.

It’s the result of casting about for an identity. I believe in the grace of dealing gracefully with it, as I might do “Irish-American.” Africa gave us the Negro. I don’t mind saluting Africa for what it did do. It lives under the same sky we do. I will never ever idolize it, however.

... And, I will be realistic about the evils and goodnesses that impinged on it. I blame slavery on Muslim entrepreneurs primarily, and secondarily on Christian acquiescence. But the Christians woke, while Islam goes right on enslaving people. But Christendom also evangelized many Negros, in situations both ideal and less than ideal. This showed the world how deep their souls were.

All could stand to learn from Trump. It’s not a matter of drawing straws for the privilege of remaining ignorant.

If they had all conferred as loyal opposition, Roy might have soon realized that that cowboy really didn’t have the stomach for the necessary shootout in the wild wooly world outside his regimented courtrooms. Mo and Luther may have made some dispassionate political calls. We might have been spared a humiliation of what was supposed to be an honest slice of old fashioned Dixie hristendom.

Don't ya’ just hate that. A beautifully composed not ruined by a single “C”. And I usually see it after I've already hit the post box but before it has disappeared from the screene. ;o)
