11 Black Men on What Democrats and Republicans Get Wrong About Their Lives

[DigitalDrifter]

There have been signs now for months, that Trump has been inching up his percentage of black supporters. If he breaks the 20% mark, he'll win the election, UNLESS, Biden ends up with a higher percentage of women voters, than the 57% he received in 2020.
After the assassination attempt, Trump will likely gain more black voters, after his 'gangsta moment' with the raised fist!

While President Biden enjoys strong support from Black voters, Donald Trump has chipped away at that crucial Democratic base: He won 12 percent of Black voters in the 2020 election and did especially well with Black men, winning 19 percent. Some pollsters think Mr. Trump may do even better in November. So for our latest Times Opinion focus group, we wanted to hear from Black men who like Mr. Trump to better understand why — including those who disliked him at first but changed their minds. This focus group was held last week, before the assassination attempt on Mr. Trump.

There is nothing any American needs from any elected representative due to skin color. Not anymore and not for a long time.
Any blacks who believe otherwise need to be *****-slapped back to Senegal.

Hoew about we ***** slap whites like you who only think color or race applies to everyone who is not white while ignoring that whites want things from elected representatives based on race, back to Engand.

Because that's what MAGA is. Whites asking the government for things based on their color.

There are 47.8 million blacks in Amerca. 30 million will be eligible to vote. Trump will get between 3-4 million votes from blacks. So 11 blacks aren't telling anybody anything.

Ultimately the real problem with blacks is they don't want to be an average American so it makes it difficult to understand their lives

A lot of blacks only talk about "the black community", or "black culture", or "the black experience". If they stopped always trying to be "black people" and just tried to be an American then they would be hard to figure out for the other 85% of us. But that's what happens when you try to not be a part of society and not conform, you become separate from that society.

Never see Bill Cosby, Morgan freeman, Thomas sowell, or the supervisors I work with that are black talk about not being understood as a black person. Reason is because they just want to be a person instead of "a black person".

When you choose to be seperate, choose to be different, choose to consider yourself not the same as others then when you're treated differently or not understood then that's your fault.

They stereotype themselves by acting the way they do. No one has ever stereotyped Thomas sowell.

The democrat party reinforces that self-segregation in order to keep an ostensible victim group corralled. Being black-first is institutional.
Plus, the NAACP and its ilk learned a valuable lesson from the Negro Leagues; integration is bad for business.
