MILWAUKEE — President Biden once told Black voters that if they supported Donald Trump, then they “ain’t Black.”
Rep. John James turned that joke on its head this week from the stage at the Republican National Convention: “I heard a little earlier today, ‘If you don’t vote for Donald Trump, you ain’t Black,’” the lawmaker from Michigan said as he flashed a smile to the crowd.
Mr. James is one of a historic number of Black Americans making the argument at the convention that Mr. Trump has broken Democrats’ decadeslong lock on the Black vote.
From the stage Monday, the first night of the convention, Black Republican lawmakers described their histories: a great-great-grandson of a slave, a grandson of a cotton picker, and the son of a father denied entry to college in the Jim Crow South.
That was where the identity politics ended.
“I’ve been looking forward to the day that we get to where people start really thinking outside of the background, outside the color, outside of messages of who we should be based on exterior, and we saw last night is exactly where America is,” Rep. Burgess Owens of Utah told The Washington Times. “We have certain goals and dreams, and it doesn’t matter what color we are or what ZIP code we go in. We all want freedom. We want to have the ability to dream big and want to know that we put our work and effort out there to come back.”

That NYC mom EDP was off the charts
Leftists and NYT journalists hardest hit.
She gave a stem winder of a speech. Hope the dems are crapping bricks
Black folks capable of logical thinking understand their labours and efforts are greatly devauled by open borders.
They’re off the Democrat plantation.
Maybe one of the few times Biden was correct. They ain’t Black. They’re Americans.
Liberals betray core America over and over again. Trump was just getting started with Opportunity Zones and more was on the way but for rat fraud and their china virus.
“...EDP...”

???
EDP stands for “emotionally disturbed person”.
Correction:
At the Republican convention EDP = Every Day People!
Has any of these new-found black Republican lovers denounced the black underclass criminal thugs wreaking havoc on American cities?
Have they denounced the community organizers and other phony black leaders who are grifting off of DEI and raced-based initiatives?
Have they denounced reparations?
Wake me up when they do.
And I’m sick of conservatives dancing and trying to rap. The MAGA movement is starting to become ghettoized. Stop coddling black people.
I hear this before every election.
I wish their community well. They deserve a better future, and it’s ultimately their responsibility to make it happen. That starts with good decisions, and recognizing when past decisions didn’t work out for the best. Putting their future in the hands of the Democrats has been a painful thing to watch.
This has been steadily brewing for a while. It’s one of the reasons the dems have had to import new voters.
We get it, you hate black people. You look at the color of their skin, not the content of their character. You keep using “subhuman” in posts about other ethnic groups. Kindly take a long walk off a short pier.
Why don’t you learn how to read.
I specifically criticize the black underclass, meaning the gangbanging thugs, the EBT scammers, and these community organizers who are using grievance politics to enrich themselves.
I don’t have a problem with blacks who work hard and raise families.
It’s drooling at the mouth people like you who probably have a Coexist sticker on your bumper who make excuses for people who’ve been given everything to assimilate in modern civilization but have failed miserably.
