Ruh Roh...african American Ministers In Chicago Support...the Republican For Gov....

[2aguy]

I was listening to 890 am wls today...a group of African American ministers in Chicago have come out and stated that they are going to tell their people to vote for the Republican for governor this time around...they want to try to change things....hmmmm...have they finally decided the party of racism isn't going to help them any time soon...I mean...it has only been since the 1960s that the democrats gave up their in your face racism for the behind the scenes racism...

Good for them...they might actually have a chance at giving their children a future that doesn't involve bad schools and street gangs in these democrat paradises...

'a group.'

That is a pretty undefined therm. Could be 3 guys with a congregation of 10 or a hundred with a congregation of 10000.

IOW, meaningless all around.

 

[Mr. H.]

This is fine.

African-American Ministers Endorse Bruce Rauner CBS Chicago

Republican Bruce Rauner stopped by MacArthur’s restaurant on the West Side to pick up an endorsement from African-American ministers in his run for governor.
WBBM’s Cisco Cotto reports about two dozen black ministers were on a stage behind Bruce Rauner to offer their support.

Rev. Marshall Hatch says this endorsement is about sending a message to Democrats that the African-American vote can’t be taken for granted.

so... they're going to jeopardize the tax exempt status of their churches by telling people who to vote for?

 

[blastoff]

It's exactly what all voting blacks should do, but I'll believe this 'group' means it by their flocks' voting results on election day. Until then count me skeptical.

and a republican talk radio station found people to say something republican on air? no! can't be!

And.....?

Interesting, we'll see. There seems to be a little momentum, but it's tough to say if it will amount to anything.

I do think that more American blacks are deciding that they have now been victimized twice in this nation's history, first by slavery and then by those who claim they want to "help".

Fingers crossed. Hopefully both parties will have to earn votes with real ideas rather than with bullshit one day.

Impossible! According to republicans black people exist for the sole purpose of sucking on the government teat! Oh and corrupting our culture!

How can they support a republican??? There must be something wrong with the candidate!

No, actually, it was the news, not the actual hosts...

I think it is great when any group that tends to vote for one party lets that party know that their votes shouldn't be taken for granted.

Funny how the same political party was responsible for slavery and now is the party that just wants to help...

Actually, they will only jeopardize their tax status because they came out for a republican...normally they tell their people to vote democrat and it's no problem...now it's a problem...

The last time democrats won the white vote was the election before civil rights was passed. It was not a coincidence as that marked the fleeing of racists from the democrat party into the party that tried to uphold segregation; republicans that is.

To be fair, the Democratic Party didn't exist at the time slavery was codified into our Constitution. It is true that during the 1800's the folks that supported slavery were Democrats.

Telling them?

Really?

That's your take on those who advocate for a candidate?

They TELL people who to vote for?

Splains a lot.

As long as they don't do it in the Church, whats the problem?

And democrats have been ignoring black ministers politicizing the pulpit for decades, because it was for them. Lets see what happens when the tables are turned.
