Why do blacks vote for democrats over 90% of the time?

Yeah, Ive posted the question several times already asking if anyone giving answers was actually black or white-splaining, no one has answered with being black. And ive not seen @superbadbrutha in here yet who is the only person I can think of that is actually black on this forum.

 

Good question but disproportionately more African Americans are on welfare than any other US demographic.
Others can be offended by this statistic but this is a fact.

 

Good point, sadly, you name 3 democrats who switched while the other 17 segregationist stayed democrats. Those who switched were never known Biden is out there right now doing exactly what you claim republicans do, but not with a "dog whistle", but a freaking bull horn. Biden's mentor was Byrd, that last known KKK member in congress who died in 2009 as a democrat. Yet everything that Biden is saying, will be excused if he picks a black female for VP ONLY based on race and genitalia.

Jesse Helms nominated judges and federal attorneys to dismantle the KKK. His dad might have been in the KKK, but so was Al Gore Senior who was Hillary Clinton's beloved mentor.

Strom Thermond was never in the KKK. He was a states rights proponent, but left the dems cause of how close they were with the KKK.

Pat Buchanan was never in the KKK either.

 

Propaganda?

 

So, as GA and TX are moving back towards democrats, does that mean when dems start winning the south again they will become the "racist" party again?

 

When will that happen and why? It’s a choice between the Robin Hood Party and the one that actually expects economic performance of all it’s demographics.
The sheriff of Nottingham is not who runs the US Republican Party.
The US Democrats expect that people will embrace Darwinism exclusively in their school system but not until it affects their voter base!!
Then it is wrong?

 

Well, to be fair, white democrats claim that wanting blacks to work and not take handouts is "disregarding their culture". Its also the reason why democrats don't care about the single motherhood issue that causes a lot of problems in the black community of cities. I would like to see a census of single black families in the inner city vs suburban black families.

 

TX and GA are coming close to voting back democrats. 2018, GA governor won by 50k votes against a socialist. TX senate vote between Beto and Cruz was close. Dems think they can take TX this year for Biden. We will see.

 

But who is ultimately responsible for inner city US choices in reproductive choices?

 

Won't happen. In Ga, Trump got more votes than Obama scored in the last presidential election in Ga in the last primary. 150k more than Biden and both running virtually uncontested. In Tx, Trump got more votes than all the democrat candidates combined and Trump was a lock. People showed up anyway to vote for Trump. I dont think either state is turning blue in 2020.

 

No it meant they got to old and retired or were voted out of office as Democrats. There was no major or even minor shift of Democrat politicians to the Republican party.

What explaination do you need. It was the younger baby boomer generation that put it's foot down to oppose the segregation we witnessed growing up and the Democrats who supported and defended and protect it. And we were mostly conservatives who transformed the South to supporting the Republicans, the party that had stood and and fought for voting rights and civil rights.

 

Helms and Buchanan were never segregationist Democrats or Dixiecrats leaving you with the tired old "BUT STROM THRUMOND". Funny who the left tries to protray this HUGE shift of the Segregationist Democrats moving to the Republican party but can only come up with one person Thurmond.

The myth of Nixon’s ‘Southern Strategy’

"Nixon barely campaigned in the Deep South. His strategy, as outlined by Kevin Phillips in his classic work, “The Emerging Republican Majority,” was to target the Sunbelt, the vast swath of territory stretching from Florida to Nixon’s native California. This included what Phillips terms the Outer or Peripheral South.

Nixon recognized the South was changing. It was becoming more industrialized, with many northerners moving to the Sunbelt. Nixon’s focus, Phillips writes, was on the non-racist, upwardly-mobile, largely urban voters of the Outer or Peripheral South. Nixon won these voters, and he lost the Deep South, which went to Democratic segregationist George Wallace.

And how many racist Dixiecrats did Nixon win for the GOP? Turns out, virtually none. Among the racist Dixiecrats, Strom Thurmond of South Carolina was the sole senator to defect to the Republicans — and he did this long before Nixon’s time. Only one Dixiecrat congressman, Albert Watson of South Carolina, switched to the GOP. The rest, more than 200 Dixiecrat senators, congressmen, governors and high elected officials, all stayed in the Democratic Party.

The progressive notion of a Dixiecrat switch is a myth. Yet it is myth that continues to be promoted, using dubious case examples. Though the late Sens. Jesse Helms of North Carolina and John Tower of Texas and former Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott all switched from the Democratic Party to the GOP, none of these men was a Dixiecrat. "

Of the 21 Southern Democrat Senators who voted against be CRA and VRA how many were in this rush to switch to Republicans? How many switched parties? How many stayed retaining their leadership positions and were re-elected as Democrats?

Yet the Democrats have their Byrd albatross, excuse the pun, along with the 99% of segregationist Democrats who did not switch parties. Why does Thurmond trump Byrd?

 

You mean the Republicans finally beat the Democrats and got the VRA and CRA passed. The question is how did the Democrat party hoodwink the black community into believing it was THEIR party that had long advocated and supported civil and voting rights and it was they who defeated the Republicans to get them passed.

 

Baloney.

Your Southern Boomers built a ton of private schools to keep Blacks out, when desgregation happened. They then stepped up their efforts at voter suppression. You can find the documentation for that in the re-authorisation of the VRA.

But terrific fiction, in the next chapter you should raise Robert E Lee from the dead.

 

The answer is simple. The Republicans nominate a candidate who opposed both for the presidency. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. That has stuck in the black mind from that day to this one.

From 1932 until 1964 the Republican Party average around 30% of the black vote. After 1964 the GOP average dropped to just below 10%. Keep in mind from 1932 until 1952 whites were also voting heavily Democratic. Eisenhower change some of that. No Democratic presidential candidate has won the white vote since 1964. By the same token, no Republican presidential candidate has won the black vote since 1928.

 

Yeah, asking people here is like asking a bunch of men the difficulties of child birth.

 

Ronald Reagan? You mean in the 80's? And you are using that in a 2020 argument?

I was pretty sure you were going to have to go all the way back to the 1980's. What a waste of time this was.

 

Well the GOP has won married white women since at least the 1990's. Maybe that will change this year but Married women=GOP has been a pretty long term trend, not simply a beep on a poll.

 

My point is that welfare, or welfare "queens" have not been an issue in this or the prior few elections. The term was just thrown out there as if Newt Gingrich was still a minority leader in Congress.

 

Just as others are offended by the reason it is a fact.

 

Didn't Hillary claim they vote for Republicans because their husbands make them?

 

Perhaps not an issue under that name. But............

And ignore that reason and still vote for democrats whove ruled over them for 60 years in the cities. Majority of the black poor population live in cities ran by democrats.

 

"This push revolves around the idea of “work requirements” — that is, a requirement that people work in order to receive benefits like welfare, food stamps, and Medicaid, among others." OMG, those evil bastards...helping people who are helping themselves? How heartless. Don't the GOP know that the best form of help is to steal money from those who produce to give to those sitting on their asses and voting for democrats? What nerve.

 

Did you see the initials KKK in my post? I sure never put them in! I guess you and I have different standards on this issue. That might explain part of the problem the GOP has.
