Why do Blacks vote Democrat?

[Asclepias]

Ok so im supposed to quit my job and go fishing so my family has food. Now who is going to pay the rent now that im not working? I dont make enough working to both pay the rent and buy food because my employeer doesnt pay a living wage. So which should i do food or rent? My sister has hepatitus c and cant work. Maybe 6 months from now shell get disability but what about food now. My mother has cancer and is retired shes not strong enough to fish or work or even walk. Her money pays the electric and water and medical. No one left to go fishing so i guess well just starve.

Your employer pays you what you are worth. If you want more pay, make yourself worth more.
Are you willing to pay a higher rent to ensure your landlord has enough money to meet his obligations?
They why should your employer pay you more because you lack the skills to earn enough to meet your obligations?

Dumb analogy. A landlord is not making you wealthy by charging you rent. I agree with your comment about making yourself more valuable though.

I guess that blacks or whites vote Democrat because of the freebies

Gimme, gimme, gimme, where is my Obama phone sort of thing!

No, no, no

Its not freebies....Its low information voters

Thats the current conservative excuse....as in blacks are too dumb to know better

More insults. Conservatives think Blacks are too dumb to see reverse psychology. They also think Blacks are dumb enough to think Blacks were the only reason Obama was elected despite whites being the sole demographic below 50% n favor of a Black POTUS. The Asian, Latino, and other demographics voted Dem heavily but somehow dumb cons think it was Blacks.

How about the RNC chairman?

USATODAY.com - GOP We were wrong to play racial politics

""Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," Mehlman said at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."

Mehlman's apology to the NAACP at the group's convention in Milwaukee marked the first time a top Republican Party leader has denounced the so-called Southern Strategy employed by Richard Nixon and other Republicans to peel away white voters in what was then the heavily Democratic South."


Now get your head out of your ass you fool.

Black voters went to Democratic support in the 1930s. They bumped it up in '64 after the CRA was passed, but that votership had sailed way back with FDR three decades before.

Already documented that over a thousand posts ago. With graphs too.

Okay....

From the link...

Vincent Hutchings, a political scientist who studies voter patterns at the University of Michigan, says the first major shift in black party affiliation away from the Republican Party happened during the Depression. Franklin Roosevelt's second administration — led by the New Deal — made the Democrats a beacon for black Americans deeply affected by the crushing poverty that was plaguing the country.

Right. But your link keeps reading "in the 1960s".
You can't flee something in the 1960s that you already fled in the 1930s. By the '60s FDR was long gone.

FDR and the New Deal basically incorporated the thrust of the "Progressive"' movement at the turn of the century, which dovetailed with the DP's absorption of the Populist movement around the same time, especially in William Jennings Bryan. Simultaneously the RP had shifted away from its Liberal beginnings to take on the interests of the rich and the corporations. That has a lot to do with the migration of not only blacks but Jews, Catholics, immigrants and women ("minorities" in general), to the DP.

Of course, since that reversal of the poles, the DP has followed suit of the RP and now they're both the party of the rich and the corporate, which is why I always call them "the two party" (singular). The DP has the advantage of historical illusion.
