'I purely vote for my actual interests': Black men could be critical bloc in presidential election
Yahoo News ^ | Oct 27, 2020 | Marquise Francis

Karl Williams from Brooklyn, N.Y., believes that Black people have “nothing to win” in this year’s presidential race with either President Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden.

“There’s no policy platform being presented that’s going to address any needs of Black men,” Williams, an investor who trades options, said in a video interview with Yahoo News.

Despite this conviction, Williams plans to vote for Trump for a second time on Nov. 3.

“I support Trump,” said Williams, 34, who describes his reasoning as based solely on the prospect of personal financial gain, since he invests in the stock market.

“I purely vote for my actual interests,” he said. “Neither candidate is addressing any of my needs as a Black man, but I do have one candidate that will give me a favorable tax situation.”

With one week left until the general election, some experts say Black men are a key demographic that could shock the country on Election Day and vote for Trump in surprising numbers...

In fact, new polling out of Texas shows that Trump maintains a narrow lead in the state in large part thanks to the Black vote. Among likely voters, 47 percent of respondents said they would vote for Trump, compared to 43 percent for Biden, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll on Monday. Among Black voters, Biden leads Trump by a margin of 78 percent to Trump’s 12 percent, a smaller margin than in 2016, when Trump garnered only 8 percent of the Black vote, compared to Hillary Clinton’s 82 percent...

While gaining the Black vote is often a priority for presidential candidates, Black men, compared to Black women, have shown a willingness to choose someone other than the Democratic nominee or not vote at all...

It would nice if scriptural based believers would do the same. But feel good churchianity has brainwashed the cogragationalists who attend churchianty services where they can sit in their own pew while being led astray.

“I purely vote for my actual interests,” he said. “Neither candidate is addressing any of my needs as a Black man, but I do have one candidate that will give me a favorable tax situation.”

When fill-in-the-blank-minority man, starts thinking like man and realizes that only he can look after his own needs as a man then he will be truly free. Why shouldn't every black man not want favorable taxes for himself? That is a major motivation for me to vote for Trump as a man (not a white man). There are so many other issues equally important - but in almost every case, for me as a man (not a white man), it means less government. I don't look towards government to help me out or do anything other than what is in the Constitution. When blacks start to think in this way racism will truly end.

Black men might turn out to be Trump's secret weapon. They are beginning to realize how awful the Dems have been treating them.

He has a lot more support among Black men than Leftists want to acknowledge.

If your an option trader, you can make money in an up market or a down market. The problem would be the tax on your loot.

“...“Neither candidate is addressing any of my needs as a Black man,...”

POTUS has done much for the black man. Great employment numbers, programs to improve black communities, and more.

I think there is starting to be a closet black woman vote as well. Structured around to things: Law and Order plus school choice. Also, I think Kim Klacik’s ad is having a broader impact than just Baltimore.

#1 need is stop voting for anything with a ‘D’ like you are a bunch of lemmings
#2 need is for black men is to raise their children.
#3 is stop putting your needs over your countrys! Be real men instead of generation of punk ass pla’ers and you will address your needs!
#4 stop thinking its acceptable for blacks to kill blacks, and disrespect authority!
#5 stop thinking everything is racist.

In the early days of affirmative action, black men were at the top of the pecking order.

Now black women, hispanics (legal and illegal) and perverts have displaced them.

That has _got_ to leave a mark, and the Democratic Party owns the suck.

What crap

This is the racist narrow thinking of so many blacks

If it isnt a special just for blacks category they believe its not for them as americans in general

They expect handouts, they expect to have stuff labeled just for them

So stupid, so pitiful

I wanted Trump to run ads in black areas, asking the question: “Do you want a job, or another government program?”

It is if you know what’s going to happen in the future - otherwise, no.
