For decades, the black vote in the United States almost uniformly has gone to Democrats.
How’s that working out? Black unemployment is twice the national average, poverty rates are higher than before Democrats offered “help,” and the education system fails a disproportionate number of black children. That’s what 50-plus years of blind voting loyalty to Democrats has earned. And, thanks to those same Democrats and the nation’s first black president, it’s about to get a lot worse.
President Obama is set to legalize upwards of 5 million illegal aliens, with the dream of granting amnesty and citizenship to 6 million to 25 million more, based on estimates and chain migration. These aren’t Ph.D.s with seed capital ready to start tech companies; they’re low- and no-skilled workers with limited English skills ready to take any job available, especially entry-level jobs.
After decades of embracing Democrats on a national and local level, the black community is disproportionately poor and, therefore, a higher percentage of the Americans likely to be competing for those entry-level jobs.
Just six years ago, this extra thumb in the eye to a loyal Democratic voting base would have been unthinkable, but Hispanics are the new dominant minority in American politics. In the future, the black vote is going to be less and less necessary to Democrats, which means they will be taken for granted even more than they have been. Loyalty in politics lasts only as long as the last election.
Democrats won’t immediately ignore black voters. It will be gradual. When loyalty is garnered so effortlessly, dismissing it out of hand is folly. But it will happen.
Democrats play identity politics – appealing to people based on race, gender, sexual orientation, income level—whatever you got works for them. If people are concerned that an “other” is out to harm them in some way, they’re extremely loyal to those who pretend to be their protector.
“Leaders” reinforce this lie because it empowers and enriches them personally. They see members of these groups as nothing more than a means to an end. Identity politics is not their genuine belief system; their agenda is. And if they have to stand on people’s necks and crush their spirit to obtain what they want, so be it.
Democrats, particularly progressive Democrats, have run every city with a large minority population, nearly uninterrupted, for generations and they’ve only declined. Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago … name any city with a large minority and/or poor population and you will find it run by progressives for the vast majority of the last 50 or more years.
With blind loyalty there’s no reason to actually address problems, so city councils in these areas have been busy banning plastic bags, raising taxes and fees, nickel-and-diming their population to death and making them more dependent on government in the name of “compassion.” It’s a snake eating its tail – progressive anti-poverty policies trap people in poverty, taxes are raised to pay for them, which drives out more businesses, which traps more people in poverty, which necessitates more anti-poverty programs.
This con is aided by the insistence that things are getting worse because of the “other.” In the case of progressive politics, the other is Republicans. Even though they have had zero power or influence in these areas, “leaders,” both political and social, swear it is so, and things will get worse if Republicans obtain power. “Benefits” will be cut. Fear is one hell of a motivator. The corrupt are re-elected, poverty worsens and blame is deflected.
That’s how you can end up with the first black president set to legalize the equivalent of the populations of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota Alaska, Delaware, and the District of Columbia combined even though black unemployment is more than 11 percent. No one thinks a competitive job market, particularly in low-skilled labor, will thrive if only it had more people competing for the limited number of jobs available. Big business wants this because if the prospective employee pool is larger, the pressure to raise wages to attract workers is non-existent.
In other words, it harms mostly poor and minority Americans and helps the wealthy – the exact opposite of what the Democratic Party professes to be about. And what political price will Democrats pay for this blatant backhand across the faces of those they claim to champion? None
In 2012, there were 17.8 million black voters and only 11.1 million Hispanic voters. If 5 million Hispanics are added to the population and eventually gain citizenship that, coupled with population growth, will mean Hispanic voters will outnumber black voters within 20 years if not sooner.
Democrats are attempting to position themselves to be the protector and champion of Hispanics, which means black voters become less valuable to the party. Although that will be good for the black community because it will remove the government weight on its shoulders, it will mean that all that loyalty was for nothing.
Considering what that loyalty has wrought on the black community, nothing is better than the “something” they’ve been getting.
Yup. Amnesty will affect this portion of the population the most.
Its not like they care.
People who are bought get taken for granted.
For that blacks have no one to blame but themselves.
Ummm.... they already have those jobs. I'm not for amnesty in any way. I'm just saying... in my state.... without the hispanic work force there would be no lawn care companies, roofing companies, concrete companies etc. Traditional Democrat minorities are not going to do those jobs in large numbers.
There are more potential Hispanic voters than blacks, so the blacks go under the bus.
In less than 50 years the democrats will throw Hispanics under the bus and replace them with muslims.
More important, these folks compete for welfare dollars and affirmative action positions.
If someone made me king, I’d impose a rule that all minority quotas be filled proportionately between Asians, Hispanics and blacks. That would end this.
Not only are they taking jobs and suppressing wages via labor oversupply, but now blacks have to learn a new language in order to interact with the welfare office and put of with faggotry being rubbed in their faces everyday. That's what voting dim has accomplished.
I do not think the Democrats are about to break up with black voters anytime soon. To use Mr Hunter’s numbers; 17.8 million votes with 85-90% going to any given Democrat candidate is not going to be squandered. What will happen is, the Party will find something to galvanize that support, while at the same time doing the same thing for the 11.1 million legal and the 2-3 million illegal Hispanic votes.
My first thought is, they are banking on the amnesty plan to pull in their 75-80% Hispanic support. Maybe, maybe not.
And to galvanize the black vote? Maybe a race war.
Kinda looks like that to me.
The black population is not growing and the Democrats 90% share of the black vote is maxed out.
Which explains why the Democrats are so eager to discard them. If they continue to rely on the black vote, Democrats are guaranteed to remain a permanent minority.
It only makes sense for them to pander to fast growing voter groups. That’s where the real money and the votes are, stupid.
Obama is selling out Black America to ensure a viable future for the Democratic Party.
SPIT OUT THE KOOL-AID FOR GOD'S SAKE, MAN!!!
There would still be all of those companies, because people would still need lawn care, roofing, and concrete, but the companies would finally be forced to pay fair wages to American citizens and legal immigrants and stop dodging the taxes that you and your fellow American citizens are being forced to pay through the nose.
The reason "traditional Democrat minorities" are not doing those jobs right now is because the illegal immigrants and the slavers who employ them are dodging the taxes that the "traditionals" would be forced to pay by virtue of having a social security number, and so the "traditionals" can't afford to work for that little money.
Yeah, your roof might cost more, and you might have to hire an aspiring local teenager to mow your lawn like everyone used to do, but at least you wouldn't be supporting a tax-dodging slave economy - isn't that worth something to you?
Ghetto people of any color will never blame themselves. If they were inclined to take responsibility (i.e. blame), they would be able to pull up their pants and move into the productive world.
Hopefully, you are correct or the writer and if so we should all hope the laws are upheld for everyone. If Hispanics are held accountable as citizens, then the Black community will too become more accountable to the Laws of the land. The best thing that could ever happen to the Black community is that they are just as accountable as the Brown community when adhering to the laws throughout this country. Imagine the Black community losing the Democrats support for being lawless, imagine no tolerance of the Black race rioting.... Imagine Blacks with no where to turn in there own communities except towards lawful governance.
We will need to expand the ghetto housing that is available asap.
Yes they already have those jobs
Meanwhile millions of Americans of all flavors who were born here are desperately seeking work and getting nowhere
I am sick to death of employers specifying bilingual preferred or required
You don’t think Americans will do those jobs?
The whole doing jobs Americans won’t do is nothing but a myth
Our government is selling us out and playing the harlot with Mexico
Our government is not ours anymore
They don’t give a shit about America or Americans anymore
It’s all about the porkophobes and hispanics
They use black people to stir the pot ala Ferguson
There are plenty of authentic US citizens who will do anything(legal)to bring money in
I’m normally an accounting clerk but failing to find work in that profession due to an absence forced by illness, I wound up doing home care under the table for some friends. The lady I worked for was almost 100 had been on dialysis for eight years or so and died in hospital
Ten months later I finally got a callback from a temp agency. They sent me to a production job. I am 50 yo with a bad back but desperate to get my foot in the door somewhere. I lasted all of three days before I hurt my back but dammit I tried.
Americans will work shit jobs to bring money in too.
If I was in better health with no back issues I’d consider just about anything as long as it was legal
These illegals need to be sent home wherever home might be and quit sucking up all the jobs and benefits that belong to Americans!
Even in dumbass liberal California the voters had enough sense to vote overwhelmingly against government benefits for illegals(prop 187) but it was overturned by an AH judge or vetoed or something I forget
SMH
Not by accident, but by design. It's the "big lie" of gov't agencies. They're there to solve problems, but if they solve the problem they're out of a job. So guess what happens? They make the problem worse, then whinge for more funding.
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reformLatinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]

The Democratic Party is the Enemy.
at this point I do not give a damn about the black community.
Worthless bunch they are.
