As you know, Blacks did extremely well under the leadership of President Trump. They are suffering under President Biden.

Why are FACTS so difficult for Democrats to understand?

Read the question again.

Then answer it.

 

[The5thHorseman]

Tell us.

You failed the first test.

 

[The5thHorseman]

No one cares about Trumps horseshit indictments, but people ARE going to care a lot about Joe taking MILLIONS in bribes.

Democrats are in serious trouble. You guys are just too stupid to see whats coming.

It's always around the next corner for you saps...

Why is this okay with Democrats? Under President Trump, Blacks and low-income workers made great strides, but not now.

Black Poverty Skyrockets Under Joe Biden​

In fact, black poverty, which reached historic lows under Donald Trump, is rising on Biden’s watch. Under Trump, before the pandemic hit, black poverty reached 16.13% — the lowest-ever on record. Today, despite the pandemic being over and Panderer-in-Chief Joe Biden being in office for two and a half years, the black poverty rate has yet to return to those historic lows. In fact, they’ve gone up.

The better question is why this is okay with the black community? Black voters have quite a bit on influence over who wins in swing states, but they don't use it to their advantage. The charlatans and con arts do, people like Al Sharpton and the BLM people benefit but nobody else does.

Easy answer: it hasn’t sky-rocketed. However, like all Americans, I’m sure they are concerned about along with many other things and vote accordingly.

Allow me to demonstrate how fucking stupid the slack jaws who read PJMedia are...

“Although the U.S. Census Bureau has not released official poverty data for 2022, in 2021, Biden’s first year in office, the African American poverty rate remained stagnant at 19.5%. Today, on the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom], that rate under the Biden administration may yet climb higher,” reports Just The News

So, post Covid, it was above 19%, AND THE NEW NUMBERS AREN'T EVEN IN YET.


Fucking dumbass.

But IMHO the black voters continue to vote heavily democratic even though they are ill-served at every level of gov't. They are not forcing the politicians to work for their vote and show some results as much as they should, again IMHO.

Do you vote Republican?

They probably do not see a better alternative in the Republican Party. But your last statement reminds me something I read that relates. Gerrymandering has created too many “safe districts” where there is no longer any meaningful competition to make politicians accountable to their voters. The politician would have to be or do something utterly horrendous to lose his seat.

/----/ I don't want to live in a Euro Nanny state and you can thank Dementia Joe for the inflation.

No, Biden didn't cause inflation.

 

[Lisa558]

You are clueless. Even VOX, just about the most leftist news source out there, admits that Biden’s massive spending spree made inflation a lot worse.

Biden’s American Rescue Plan worsened inflation. The question is how much.

Was it a minor contributor or a major factor in the US’s inflation woes?

"But IMHO the black voters continue to vote heavily democratic even though they are ill-served at every level of gov't. They are not forcing the politicians to work for their vote and show some results as much as they should, again IMHO."

Blacks were republican for 100 years up until 1964. And what did the Republican party do for us? They ended slavery and so that's all they had to do and we were to be eternally grateful forever. Meanwhile we endured Jim Crow and Republicans didn't do anything to end it. Once we got civil rights Republicans nominated a white man that voted against civil rights for president. So can you dumb white right wing retards stop trying to tell black how the fuck we should vote?

We have done better in the 60 years we supported the Democratic Party than in the 100 years we were Republican. That's why we vote Democrat. And given the membership of today's republican party as reflected in this forum, if you are black and support the republican party as it is right now, then what Biden said is 100 percent correct.

 

[Meathead]

This is a load of white racist garbage designed to try fooling blacks into voting for a republican president.

First, let’s look at individual poverty. In 1959, poverty for blacks was 55.1 percent. For whites, it was 18.1. Black poverty was 3.04 times that of whites. This was five years before the Civil Rights Act and during legalized segregation. In 1966, poverty for Blacks was 41.8 percent. For whites, it was 11.3 percent. Black poverty was 3.69 times that of whites. This was two years after the Civil Rights Act, and the country was trying to figure out how to get to equality. In 1974, poverty for Blacks was 30.3 percent. For Whites, it was 8.6 percent. Black poverty was 3.52 times that of whites ten years after the Civil Rights Act was passed. In 1984, poverty for Blacks was 33.8 percent. For Whites, it was 11.5 percent. Black poverty was still 2.94 times that of whites twenty years after the Civil Rights Act. One would think that if a real concerted effort had been made relative to hiring and equal pay, this would not be the case.

In 2014, the Black poverty rate was 26.2 percent. For Whites, 12.7 percent. Fifty years after the Civil Rights Act was passed and members of the American right determined that racism was a thing of the past, black poverty was still two times that of whites., In 2020 we heard all the bragging from President number 45 and his followers about all the great things he did for black people. When he left office, poverty for Blacks was 19.3percent. For Whites, it was 8.2 percent. Despite the claims of President number 45, Black poverty was two times that of whites.

As of January, black poverty was 22 percent and white poverty 11 percent. Since 1959 no matter how low or high poverty has been, blacks have continued living at double the white and overall American poverty rate. Under both Republican and Democrats. So the OP is just more of the same old disingenuous right-wing ploy hoping to get just enough blacks to vote republican in order to implement their racist agenda.

Blacks have always had higher poverty rates everywhere in the world. The problem lies elsewhere; genetics.

A lot could be improved by improving their culture. A good start would be to have the majority of their babies born within wedlock.

Did you look at the date, read the arguments?


16 months later, it's not looking so smart..

Here is where we run aground on our different political views, IMHO the track record of the democrats is not a hard one to beat. What I am trying to say is that when you play one party against the other for your support and your votes, you are more likely to get better results than if you always vote for one party.

As for gerrymandering, I am sure both parties are at fault and it is approaching total ridiculous in some places. But there does have to be some changes as some states and districts lose populations while others gain. Sadly, some pols don't have to worry about accountability at all and I'm not sure that term limits would matter cuz the new scumbag might be no different that the incumbent scumbag. To me, that's really on the constituents and the rest of us have to pay the price for too many scumbags in gov't.

How is it not looking smart? We’ve had prices go up by almost 10%, and more in some cases, and only recently has the increase slowed. That doesn’t mean prices are dropping - they’re just not going up as quickly.

The majority of Americans are struggling to buy groceries and fill the gas tank. Wasn’t a problem under Trump.

You need to take a closer look....

Employment

GDP

Fiscal Discipline


Since 1989, the GOP's record in each regard is abysmal.

Btw, I'm a Republican

Where do we now stand with respect to inflation, relative to other industrialized nations?
