What Black Voters Want

In 2018, black voters are finding out just what the hell they had to lose.

Nazis and Klansmen march openly and proudly, and hate crimes appear to be on the rise. Police killings of people—especially black people—remain largely the same year to year, and this iteration of the Justice Department has largely abdicated any federal responsibility in reducing brutality. An infant-mortality crisis is tightening its grip on the most marginalized communities, and across many economic metrics—from evictions, to generational wealth, to segregation—disparities are either stagnating or trending in the wrong direction. Fifty years after the Kerner Commission’s report said the country was “moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal,” the prophecy has been all but fully realized. As Americans head to the polls in primaries this year and prepare to do their civic duties this fall and in the fall of 2020, the 50 years of backlash against civil rights that helped fulfill that prediction might either be ratified or repudiated. Yet, in the middle of a nationwide conversation of diner visits and coal-miner profiles in service of understanding people who voted for President Trump and this regime, there’s been remarkably little analysis of the demographic that voted against him almost entirely. What drives and motivates black citizens to vote, and is simply being anti-Trump enough to get them out this fall?

A new poll due to be released by the independent political organization BlackPAC sheds light on the motivations of black voters. Conducted by former Obama and DNC pollster and strategist Cornell Belcher and his firm, Brilliant Corners Research & Strategies, the poll of 1,000 black voters in the battleground states of Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan, North Carolina, Illinois...

So if we are supposed to care about 'what black voters want'? Shouldn't we also be concerned about what white voters want? Some of those wants would be mutually exclusive.

If they establish homes built on faithful man-woman marriage, get education and get work, they will be able to realize the things they dream.

>>>An infant-mortality crisis is tightening its grip on the most marginalized communities<<<

Planned Parenthood?

...independent political organization BlackPAC sheds light on the motivations of black voters. Conducted by former Obama and DNC pollster...

Independent? LMAO at the blatant, bald-faced lie.

[MUDDOG]

Black millennial interest in the midterm elections sits 20 points behind that of their elders... these [millenial] voters increasingly identify as and behave like true independents.

They choose not to be slaves.

[JoSixChip]

Smells like desperation to me.

[NohSpinZone]

>>>The poll finds black voters in dire self-reported straits. Over half of those surveyed believe the economy is getting worse, and over 40 percent believe they are falling behind economically.<<<

This is pure brainwashing of feeble minds. If these fools were paying attention, black unemployment rates are at historic lows under this president.

[The Toll]

Horse shit.

Wanting government to solve/fix your problems is your biggest problem.

Roll-over deaths ... where the mother takes the infant to bed with her and rolls over on it, waking to find the infant crushed and lifeless ...many in Milwaukee feral areas.

I am so tired of leftist trash grand-standing about What Black Voters Want, How Jews Vote, Why White America Picked Trump, etc. Screw them. They are just grasping, with their sweaty little gay fingers, the last few threads of control over the anti-American divisiveness and racism that is at the core of their last remaining pathetic vestiges of power.

It seems like the blacks in the south are more leftist. PT is President, because blacks in PA,MI,and WI, decided not to vote for Hilliary.

[frank ballenger]

Caring about anything that isn’t 100% centered around blacks is racist, according to certain blacks.
We all know several really fine black people who exemplify better values than most of our white companions.

Then we see the Congressional Black Caucus spout racist venom, watch black mayors defend cop killers, and see crowds gather to break windows if a legal ruling doesn’t go their way. I won’t mention Maxine Waters. (Thanks!)

Theory: like the saying “baseball appears more and more difficult to play the closer the armchair critic gets to the playing field.”————people with 27% black population (my city) vs. states with 1-2% black pop. have different views.

[dowcaet]

It’s only May. The race card usually doesn’t come out in election years until late September into October. The Democrat pollsters must be getting some bad internal numbers!

[Retvet]

If Trump can get illegal immigration (foreign invasion) under control drug availability will decrease and all these items will improve.

[Alas Babylon!]

In other words, Gimme Dat.

[IronJack]

Nazis and Klansmen march openly and proudly

Where? Name one.

On the other hand, I see queers and antifuh thugs and black gangster goons and pussyhatted idiots marching all over the place.

[Robert DeLong]

Vann R. Newkirk II, the author of this piece. I guess he isn't aware that black violence increased under Obama. But a few people who may subscribe to White Supremacy, are intolerable. No, they were really intolerable during you grandad's early life. They were Democrats, and nothing has really changed within the Democrat Party. They still want you poor & dependent, and living on the plantation.

[dirtboy]

Nazis and Klansmen march openly and proudly,

In very small groups. Meanwhile, BLM trashes neighborhoods.

and hate crimes appear to be on the rise.

Only if you count all the documented fake hate crimes.

When a column starts out like that, no reason to read further.

[RooRoobird20]

Twelve percent of the US population causing at least 60 percent of all crimes and social problems. Mehhhhh...........
