Why do Black US Voters vote for the Party of Jefferson Davis

Postby Glorious Freedonia » Mon Nov 11, 2024 7:03 am

According to something I saw on Fox News, in this recent election 72% of Black US voters voted for the Democratic Party. Fox presented this like it was good news because 88% voted for Joe Biden. Still, why is 72% of a major demographic in our country not voting with the majority? Are they out of touch with the rest of America? Is the Republican Party our of touch with Black voters? I do not understand it. The color of our skins should have no relationship with the way that we think and vote.

No. We are all the same on the inside. Our skin color does not matter.

Why do I see confederate flags are Trump rallies? Why do so many Republicans want to keep up statues of Confederate generals and politicians?

Because this isn’t the 1860’s.

Those are probably the Democrats who supported him.
EDIT: I am not sure though. I only had one conversation with one man with a Confederate Battle Flag hat on. I asked him if he was a Democrat and if he wore that hat with that flag on it to support the Democrats. He said No. He said he just wore the hat to piss of Black people.

Your problem seems to be that you, somehow, are unable to identify the root cause. It's extremely funny that you think Black voters vote different due to the color of their skin and not as a reaction to policies that target them due to the color of their skin. Rather than questioning who is out of touch, you should really start considering if you yourself are out of touch.

The problem with this is that the color of peoples skin actually matters. Since when they find about themselves, it becomes the core to what path they should take most of the time, throughout history, and detail about other people. It's not like you could have made this up because you were curious about it, it seems that you are making this to more likely try and stop the freedom of specifically black people from voting a party, because you are with the Republican party. There's whitewashed people out there, and the answer is to basically let it go, and try not to make a fact of political freedom less obvious, because the answer to this is again through, obvious.

Lol this is the highest Los of cope I’ve seen in a while.

Go to any house with a confederate flag flying and ask them if they’re a democrat. They’re going to tell you hell no.

E: hell your own anecdotal proves my point dude. These aren’t democrats, they’re racists.

Republicans were very underrepresented in all levels of Confederate society.

The Democratic Party has always been the party of racism. In the nineteenth century, they were a white supremacist party so of course black voters wouldn’t vote for them. Nowadays, they are a black/minority supremacist party, so it’s a lot easier for them to trick people into voting for racist policies like affirmative action and so-called reparations.

Yes. That is one of the reasons that now that we are finally in this post racism age the American people are dropping the Democrats. The problem for this thread is why are 72% of Black Americans continuing to be loyal to the party of racism and just not voting like the rest of us, generally?

They weren’t present at all, in the 1860’s. This isn’t the 1860’s anymore.

I’m getting a vibe that these comments aren’t meant to be taken seriously, but if you are serious then you should realize that there’s been 160 years of history between the civil war and now. I’m not going to claim all Republicans and conservatives are racists, but many of the pro-confederate Klan type racists have jumped over to the GOP back during the party switch in the 70’s. Sucks but that’s the truth.

Carter trying to court racist voters doesn’t change the fact that Nixon got them to successful switch over to the GOP.

If the Democratic party was basically always being very racist, then both parties would have something in common with that for the same, as the Republican party was also, always being racist for the most part.

Republicans are not racist, generally though I am sure some are. There are a lot of them so there are some bad apples of course.

Probably not worth my time and effort to entertain this take, but I’ll bite anyway

It's really a shame that Republican leaders didn't take action to purge those people from the party before it was too late.

How anyone looks at what the Great Society did to black demographics in the US, and says it is a good thing, I dunno.
Before 1970, we had the strongest middle class the country had ever seen, albeit a shadow economy because of our history, which we had traditionally not allowed to make us victims.
We had longer marriages with less divorce than whites.
Fewer children born out of wedlock, and middle class households earning/saving more on average.
Basically any demographic you cared to measure, except property ownership and secondary education, naturally, but we had prepared, culturally, to prove we would earn and did deserve our equality despite the naysayers insisting we were an inferior people.

Then LBJ pulled a fast one and flipped the script to magic makeover the Democrat party into the ID political champions of the universe with legislation that by the end of its first decade had seriously eroded all of our metrics and served as self-fulfilling prophecy for all those that look down on us, want to look down on, condescend to, and rule us.
Only now, it is not just black Americans that Democrats look at this way, but all of the rest of you as well.
Make things worse, we have to contend with black Marxists like those who created BLM who advance the same core tactics of family destruction to reshape us into, well I don't really know, but using the welfare state as example, it still ends with us being slaves to somebody.

At its height in the 1960's, black ownership of private property was at about half of us.
By 1980, it had dropped to around 35 percent, and the tragedy/lie of Bill Clinton's sub prime fiasco, that W stupidly allowed to build, is that after all the dust settled after 2008, black home ownership hardly ever exceeded 33 percent all the decades between now and back to Carter's Community Reinvestment Act.

LBJ screwed over the Blacks and the country with his New Society commie crap. It was probably well intentioned but the weird thing is that this has not turned Blacks away from the Democrats.

unfortunately this logic is only applicable towards people you don't like and not towards the people you like
