For everyone on this thread, ask yourself if you were a black voter trying to decide which party to endorse:
One party proposes and enacts policies on improving job opportunities, better education, better housing, etc. Do these policies always work? Hell no.
the "other" party offers.....well, offers NOTHING except derision as to why blacks have lower economic status....
So, OBJECTIVELY, which party should that black voter endorse???
It's not mockery, it's explaining what you admitted. Democrat policies didn't work. At some point when the facts have been presented and denial still exists, one has to wonder why blacks continue to support a party that you say isn't getting the job done.
It's the difference between ignorance and stupidity. Initially, if someone isn't aware of the situation, it can be chalked up to not knowing. However, when the facts are presented time after time after time and people still don't listen, it's hard to accept it being ignorance any more.
No it is deliberate dishonesty Sort of like introducing an anecdote that they know will derail the thread because it works. Those usually identified as Progressive will not discuss or even look at the argument that Democratic--make that progressive--policies have been more destructive than helpful to black people. They would rather keep racism alive and well for whatever reason. And that makes defending the Democrats, etc. no matter how flimsy that defense might be.
Not as my savior, but as somebody with common sense about opportunity and prosperity.
........FINE, then point out ONE.....just ONE....policy by your right wingers to lead blacks into "opportunity" and "prosperity"...I mean, you have the majority in Congress for the last 6 years or so......and blacks are asking for that ONE policy.....
I'm not defending feckless and gutless Republicans who blame their impotence on a threatened Presidential veto.
But modern American conservatives offer a completely different approach than what the left has offered and is offering. Trump has signed on to most if not all of this:
1. Vouchers/school choice
2. Secure the borders and measures to make illegal immigration unattractive.
3. Removing barriers that have been a factor in a sluggish and uninspired economy so that all who want work can find good jobs.
4. Appointing judges who will rule to enforce the law instead of doing their own social engineering.
5. Enforcing the law so that businesses and jobs will return to areas of highest unemployment.
6. Discouraging the political correctness crap that demands that black people be seen as inferior and incapable and victimized.
7. Policies and social pressure that encourage fathers to stay in the home and help raise the children--this is the No. 1 factor that would help reduce poverty.
8. Lowering taxes for individuals and families so that there is financial incentive to get off government subsidies.
9. Trade and regulation policies that encourage American companies to stay in America.
10. Hiring and appointing people on merit instead of principles of diversity.
In short, elect Trump and, if the GOP is still in power, they won't have ANY excuse to sit on their hands any longer.
