Why Black Voters Are Rejecting Trump

[JakeStarkey]

Polling very badly among African Americans, the Republican tries new outreach—but DT's approach seems doomed to failure. Why Black Voters Are Rejecting Trump

I commend Trump for trying something at least new in the silly efforts by GOP to attract new black voters: “what have you to lose.” Yes, the comment is silly, but Trump is not afraid to look silly in his efforts to reach out. What would be better is if he should reach directly to the causes of black poverty and violence. The far right, showing a steady unworthiness to be included a government of free people, simply attacks the black race, and the black race will show the GOP it is unworthy of their vote.

False meme. Less than 10% of blacks had their own businesses, and most of that was as contractors for domestic or agricultural service. The white 87% two parent homes is suspect.

Let me see
-The loserterians hate the safetynet
-Hate investing in infrastructure or science
-Wishes to cut education...which frankly would hurt the black community.
-Doesn't care about black issues.

Contractors and domestic work don't qualify as a bussiness?

Where did blacks shop?, where did they eat? Where did they get a haircut?

Definitely not in a whites only place....

Trump is pro-vouchers, if you're against that and insist on public education, you're anti-education

In 1960? In most of the US.

Now give us the stats and proof to back up your meme.

You can't.

You lied.

As long as the vouchers are not for religious schools, sure, I go for it.

How integration led to the decline of black-owned businesses | Barney Blakeney | Charleston City Paper


Another participant in the discussion suggested that integration has led to what many consider stagnated economic progress in the black community. The premise is one I've heard many times. Before integration, black-owned businesses flourished, the guy said. In the past, Morris Street in downtown Charleston, along with Spring and Cannon streets, was a vibrant center of activity for black business. Those businesses flourished because blacks were unwelcome in many white-owned businesses.

A classic example of how integration caused the demise of many black-owned businesses is the former Dee Dex Snack Bar. During the late 1960s and 1970s, integration opened the doors of fast food restaurants like Piggy Park on Rutledge Avenue and the Patio on Spring Street. Until then, Dee Dex Snack Bar had been the premier fast food restaurant for blacks downtown.

The business was originally located on Calhoun Street where Gaillard Auditorium is now. The auditorium's construction displaced the snack bar and drugstore owned by the late Deward Wilson and scores of black families. When the business relocated to Spring Street, its business continued to flourish, but its days were numbered.

Segregation created the thriving business community. Matthews noted there was a time when blacks were not allowed at the white-owned hotels. The city had a separate school for blacks, the Franklin Street School, which the CCA is renovating.

Integration helped destroy the black business community as black vacationers suddenly had the whole city open to them.


BUSINESSES OWNED BY BLACKS STILL FIGHTING AN UPHILL BATTLE


the dozens, four movie theaters and several restaurants and small hotels.

Today there are abandoned storefronts, cleared lots, boarded buildings and only a handful of businesses. This landscape is representative of old black business districts across America, and the state of black-owned business generally is not much brighter.

Black-owned businesses were decimated as a paradoxical side effect of desegregation, and, despite the emergence of a new generation of black businesses competing in the general marketplace, only marginal progress has been made in recovering the ground lost in this era of sweeping social and economic change. 'It Just Didn't Work Out'

There are fewer than 500 black-owned businesses operating in Birmingham today as against more than 1,000 in the early 1960's, according to veteran black business leaders here, and the statistics tell similar stories in cities across the nation where blacks constitute a significant share of the population: New York, Washington, Richmond, Nashville, Jackson, Miss., Atlanta, Chicago, Kansas City, Mo.

''Desegregation improved social conditions - it just didn't work out economically,'' said J. McKinley Neal, a member of the Missouri Legislature for 18 years who has been the owner of Regal Pharmacy in Kansas City for 44 years. ''I fought hard in the Legislature for integration. I thought it would work both ways, that whites would patronize black businesses.''

''Twenty or 30 years ago we had a full, thriving black business district,'' he said. ''Now it looks like a graveyard.'' Districts Have Lost Cohesion

Your deflection is noted.

Show me that 40% of blacks owned their own businesses in 1960.

Your post above demonstrates why blacks don't trust the Alt Right, period.
