Why Aren’t There More Black Republicans?

[IM2]

The U.S. Government is being held responsible. Drop your race pimped comments about white people being held responsible.

How can the US govt. be held responsible for African men who chose slavery for themselves and their families instead of fighting to the death for their freedom?

The US government made slavery legal and blacks did not choose anything.

African Resistance - The Abolition of The Slave Trade

So slavery didn't exist until the US govt made it legal?

Stop asking retarded questions.

Democrats thrive on keeping their constituents poor and pissed off. Controlling the media and education system helps them achieve this objective. So Blacks are actually being psychologically conned into favoring the liberals that have sentenced them to perpetual poverty. In a free and fair country, there would be plenty more Black GOPers.

That's not what the republican in the OP says. The racist shit you just posted is part of the reason why.

Democrats promise them free stuff and they believe it. Dumbshits!

No that is not why, democrats better represent them.

I don't think blacks are stupid.

Here, let a conservative explain to you why blacks are not republicans.

Why Aren’t There More Black Republicans?
Conservatives must embrace the GOP’s once proud legacy on civil rights.
By Musa Al-Gharbi

Today up to 95 percent of African-American voters are aligned with the Democratic Party, and the GOP has largely abandoned its legacy of civil rights activism.

It’s tough to assert being the party of Lincoln while some Republican legislators court Neo-Confederates and other ethnic nationalist movements. They further distance themselves by advocating for voter ID laws, which disenfranchise primarily low-income and legal minority voters. (There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud by illegal or ineligible voters, let alone a single example of when such voting has actually turned an election).

It is similarly difficult for Republicans to trumpet their role in passing Civil Rights Acts while the Republican National Committee is spearheading efforts to dismantle affirmative action (Former GOP chairman Michael Steele struck a good balance on this). And perhaps most importantly, the conservative emphasis on personal responsibility sounds disingenuous to many blacks when Republicans refuse to acknowledge the profound and continuing effects of slavery, Jim Crow and segregation—let alone the persistence of overt racism, institutional and systemic discrimination, and unconscious racial bias.

There is an assumption that these issues do not need to be addressed head-on because a strong economy will raise up all Americans. Hence Republicans focus on fiscal matters over social justice. But if a particular social arrangement fundamentally privileges one group or marginalizes others, then economic growth tends to exacerbate disparities between groups rather than “lifting all boats.” Or put another way, a system has to be fair before it can be color blind.

Diversity v. Tokenism

During virtually every election cycle, the RNC goes out of its way to elevate some black candidate onto the national stage. But diversity isn’t about seeing an African American advocating the exact same positions as their white counterparts. Instead, with often dramatically different life experiences, one would expect substantive differences in how black candidates view and approach policy problems. Yet most of the black voices elevated by the Republican Party reflect little of this more meaningful diversity—and to make matters worse, they aren’t strong candidates to begin with.

Why Aren’t There More Black Republicans?

1. Winning something and then moving on, is not "abandoning" it.

2. Celebrating the regional pride of the South has been a part of America since Reconstruction ended.

3. "Ethnic nationalist movements"? I call bullshit.

4. Affirmative Action has gone too far. Time to dismantle it.

5. Slavery is done. Jim Crow is done. Overt white racism is a defeated force. That account is over drawn.

6. The RNC does not go out of it's way to elevate black candidates. They did not push Herman Cain. And they should not have.

7. I disagree with the assumption that every black person has dramatically different life experiences than whites.

 

[Correll]

It's a mystery!
.

EXACTLY!



"Questions" that are actually attacks. So that no matter the answer, the message of hate is delivered.


And if you get a clip you can spin to look bad, then run it FOREVER.


Meanwhile Trump administration is being great for blacks. Working class wages are not only rising, they are rising DISPROPORTIONATELY.!




But no one cares, cause the lies are too loud.





Good find, Mac.

One big reason may be---

---they end up getting murdered by Democrats.

What he said was an attack on white lefties, not on blacks.


Lies like that, told a millions times to black children, is why there are so few black republicans.

 

[deanrd]

So is this a slanderous post against white people proving they are crazy? OK so you proved they’re crazy. Big deal.

 

[deanrd]

Self-described Nazis and white supremacists are running as Republicans across the country. The GOP is terrified.

I can’t imagine why so few blacks vote GOP. Any suggestions?

I don’t understand how Republicans think that they can tell black people who to vote for especially after they ran Nazi’s during the midterms.

i read the excerpt you posted. It is shit we have heard before, from the stupid Country Club republicans who are utterly disconnected from the life of the average white American.


And I addressed the points raised in the op, seriously and honestly.



YOu have failed to respond to the counterpoints I have raised.

[danielpalos]

equal protection of the law for unemployment compensation in our at-will employment States could go a long way toward helping the Poor with upward mobility issues. the right wing has a problem with it.

 

[danielpalos]

i thought they just wanted to "show some skin" to get the women motivated about politics.
