For some reason it's this angry wave of brothers i call the new angry fake black man who thinks Trump did so much for the black community. When you ask them specifics they can't name anything. Many of these fools think PPP loans and stimulus checks had the black community on the rise. It amazes me when I hear them talk. You also got these fools who believe black women are out to get us and given positions to keep black men in their place. I've heard them say affirmative action and women in high positions are there to keep black families separated.

I do not trust the polling on this first of all, because it just doesn't correlate to the current state of the Republican Party. There is no GOP platform, no current message that appeals to anyone outside of the base, data shows, along with imagery where the Republican party has grown and that fact correlates. Had this been the GOP of the old, I could say ok. If any of this is true, it is SINGULAR in nature. It is all about OPPORTUNIST, i.e. Vernon Jones method. You lack the credentials to ascend in the Democratic Party so you switch over to GOP, where you go against your own, just to prove your worth. Instead of standing on principle.

democrats are not giving young Blacks a reason to vote for them.   Young Blacks are not going to vote for a democrat just because he/she is a democrat.

Please tell me what the Republicans are offered young blacks.

Striking up the chorus of crickets...

Moving my request back up to the top.

Black support for the GOP ticked up in the midterms? Well, that don't surprise me at all. We can be our own worse enemy. Hell, There were black people who supported segregationist governor George Wallace of Alabama. 

They were Black democrats.

It is obvious you have never read the Republican Platform.

Obviously you haven't either. I guess that's why you keep dodging questions like Mike Tyson punching you.

This is so classic y04185:

Thread title:  Black support for GOP ticked up in this year's midterms

y04185 first comment:

Which prompts a response by 81alphaeagle:

To which y04185 responds:

It's hard to imagine anyone being more disingenuous.

Let's get this straight. I make a statement about democrats.  81alphaeagle retorts about another political party.  My statement must be true because none of the usual suspects have posted where democrats gave Blacks a reason to vote for them.   

When democrats had their town hall with the democrat candidates for president on LGBT issues, you people should have given them seven days to have one on Black issues.   If not,  you people would vote for a candidate in another party.

Did you even see what you just posted?

If my response was off topic surely yours was.

Come on y04185, you are deflecting and just acting ridculous. The bottom line is that you are avoiding giving a direct response to 81alphaeagle's inquiry-what does the Republican Party offer to young Black people.

How can it be off topic to ask that question in a thread titled "Black Support for GOP ticked up in this year's midterm.


BTW, I've responded to your inquiry -- why should Blacks vote for Democrats -- on several occasions.

The latest one:

Yeah, I asked you to explain what Herschel meant when he told the bull and the cow story. Instead of providing an explanation, you accuse me of not paying attention to the story. That is so typical of you.

This thread is about Ben Carson accusing the Left of attempting to divide the Black community by attacking Herchel Walker, your belief/opinion that democrats do nothing for Blacks is really not relevant to this discussion. Nevertheless, I will respond.

What have democrats done for Blacks this century? They put a Black man in the White House. They elected a Black woman Vice President. They put a Black woman on the Supreme Court. They named a Black man Secretary of Defense. They appointed significantly more federal judges than Republicans. Democrats just voted Hakeem Jeffries leader of the Democratic House Caucus.

The Democratic House passed the George Floyd Policing and Reform Act only to have it derailed in the Senate by GOP Senator Tim Scott.

Just this month, the Department of Justice intervened in the Jackson, Mississippi water crisis and the Biden administration extended temporary immigration protection to $100,000 Haitians (a far cry from referring to Haiti as a s**thole country).

I'm sure you will disagree about whether the things I listed benefits Black people which is your perogative. However, unlike you I don't have a problem directly responding to a direct question. Also, I believe that my view is in line with the mainstream Black America.

Again, you would have folks believe that 80 to 90 percent of Black people who vote Democrat have no sense and the 10 to 20 percent of Black people who vote Republican have all the sense.

[CIAA-FAN]

IF THAT SMALL "TICK" SIGNIFICANTLY CONCERNS YOU THEN YOU MAY HAVE MISSED THE POINT.  THE CONSISTENT POLITICAL RULE IS THAT THE INCUMBENT PARTY ALWAYS LOSES SEAT IN MID-TERMS. OFTEN THE LOSSES ARE LARGE.  THAT IS A GIVEN.   REMEMBER THE "RED WAVE"?  DON'T HEAR VERY MUCH MENTION OF IT BY THE GOPers NOW.  IT WAS A MORE OF A "PINK PUDDLE OF PISS".  THE EVER SO SLIGHT LOSSES BY THE DEMS IN THE JUST COMPLETED MID-TERMS IS THE POLITICAL STORY OF THE LAST 70 YEARS.

I have wondered how much would the voter suppression laws would affect the turnout and percentages.

Record turnout in Georgia? There was a record COLLAPSE!

    by Greg Palast and Thom Hartmann for The Thom Hartmann Program  December 10, 2022

Record turnout in Georgia? There was a record COLLAPSE, from 4.48 million total votes in the 2021 runoff to 3.54 million this year. Rev. Warnock’s vote in Fulton (Atlanta) plummeted by 74,000 votes. Let’s cut the BS — Brian Kemp’s SB202 Jim Crow’d this election. In this edition of the Thom Hartmann Program, Palast reveals how…
