‘We Can’t Be Bought’: Black Voters Slam Democrats at Michigan Trump Rally
Breitbart ^ | 07/26/2024 | Olivia Rondeau

Posted on 07/26/2024 1:32:27 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Black voters who attended Donald Trump’s rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, last weekend said that the former president “is for everybody” and that their beliefs are based on “morals,” not “skin color.”

Speaking with Fox News reporters at Trump’s first campaign rally since the assassination attempt against him in Pennsylvania, Anthony from Kalamazoo said Democrats “take us for granted.”

“When we speak, they don’t listen,” he added.

While Biden won 87 percent of the black vote in 2020 compared to Trump’s 12 percent, the Democrats’ hold on minority voters has been slipping.

A recent CBS News/YouGov poll revealed that Biden’s support among black voters had dropped to 75 percent and Trump’s had risen to 24 percent:

This has been a theme at Breitbart for a couple months. Trump is making inroads with black voters. With due respect, we saw the same articles each election cycle including the last one. A couple anecdotes or quotes from blacks saying they are going to vote for Trump is not a substitute for the years of groundwork that it will take for the GOP or any candidate to make inroads with blacks. It is possible, but a couple rallies aren’t going to make it happen.

The 24% for Trump would be about 44% of black males and 4% of black females.

“Show us at the ballot box.”

Exactly!

At the same time, I’d love to see the Trump campaign do some outreach (TV ads, mailings, etc) aimed at heavily black areas.

No, agreed BUT - the D’s have taken them for granted for too long. Obama did nothing for them, they know it. Biden is worse. There’s lot of YouTube channels, like ‘The Cartier Family’, younger black guys with a lot of subscribers that react to videos on many topics, including political ones, where you see a lot of support from other black people.

The media and the D party have lost control of the narrative. The lock on the demographic has been broken. The only question is, how badly? It seems to be loosening up by the week.

Sorry, the black vote is just not going to be there. They are too busy voting for their own genocide.

Abortion clinics in their neighborhoods, extinguishing them before they are born.

Drugs in their neighborhoods courtesy of an open border that they vote for.

Illegals taking their jobs courtesy of the open borders they vote for. Poverty kills.

Shootings and gang violence, especially when the police are defunded, which they vote for.

Riots in there neighborhoods when the dems want to whip them up and back onto the plantation, which they vote for.

That the dems still work so hard for a vote that will soon be extinguished is amazing.

Wouldn't it be amazing if all the black Americans who've been voting D, and all the white Americans who've been voting R, could come together and finally agree that it's the UniParty D/R's who have been screwing them both over for decades?!?!

*sigh* A girl can dream.

Why?

Democrats don’t “take blacks for granted”. They represent their interests and use the power of the State to enrich and to advance them.

Why would any sensible black person give that up?

Don’t be fooled.
Blacks are supporting Trump because he promised a “Platinum Plan,” which is the GOP version of reparations.
If Trump really wants to win the black vote, he should call out their criminal thugs and say he’s getting rid of grievance politics once and for all.
Focus on White voters exclusively, and all other voters will follow.

This is why the Democrats can't/won't risk ticking off even more blacks by replacing Kamala Harris.

Because they don’t enrich…black schools, neighborhoods, etc, never get any better - while always voting for them. Now it’s the D’s that are allowing open borders and allowing all the immigrants to flow into black communities, making it all worse.

They’re p!ssed and are done being lied to.

Excellent!

Ask the “MLK was a Republican crowd” a hypothetical: “Suppose a candidate got 92% of the white vote (and hence all states, 535 EV), but zero black votes.
Would administering the oath of office to that person be legitimate?”

Well, you sure are right about that.

Do you think that’s because of something white people do, or something white people don’t do? Or is it something else?

Until the 1960-70s minorities tended to be and vote Republican.

The first (and only) American Indian Vice President was Republican.

The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 was proposed, passed and signed by Republicans.

Segregation was fought against by Republicans.

But in the sixties a great propaganda war was waged. Republicans were the party of the "establishment" of the "wealthy" of the "privileged" and of course for "war". The Democrats were "for the common man" and "peace".

It was baloney.

But now the media was writing history. Or rather they were "rewriting" history. And since good little John and Jane Q Public were sending their kids to public schools where such texts were taught, let their kids read book and watch TV and movies rewritten by the same their views were reshaped.

They could not totally remove the historical facts but they could re-frame them. All they had to do was remove the Republican label from any thing to do with equal rights and make sure it got slapped on anything to do with oppression. Make sure the Democrats got credit for things like "unions" but leave out that unions were for excluding minorities from jobs and trades.

And it worked.

Worse was that the Republicans themselves began to act as if it were so. We were the party of Rich Guys, why not let the Rich Guys run things? We were in favor of capitalism and they liked having money. What could possibly go wrong?

Plenty.

And so here we are.
