If he didn't vote then he's a hopeless individual from the get go and should be charged to the game immediately....if not sooner. Not much you can do or should even be willing to do with someone who thinks like that.
Each one teach one though deuce king if we don't take care and educate our own, who will. I won't lie though I was disappointed in him in not voting. He's one of my more knowledgeable boys too so for him to really sit on the sidelines for this took me for surprise. I'm tryna get him to realize he's part of the problem if he's not trying to help solve it and he's like "I'm not voting for my oppressor". So you're gonna let them choose for you?
So what is the right thing to do?
One day u know we will be f'ed when the gov't decides to become more and more commercial thanks to trump
Pay for post office mail delivery service (home)
Pay for ambulance services
Additional surcharges for Firefighter and Police Assistance
Higher costs for 4 year CUNY/SUNY
Public school will charge monthly costs to attend
Tolls bridges up and up
MTA costing $5 one way
Sanitation monthly taxes !
:smh
Where do you live that you get free ambulance service?
Straight ********
Black people of all income levels and backgrounds vote Dem
Go look at Barry Goldwater and the Southern Strategy to why black people lend blue
That's cool. Doesn't mean it's the right thing to do
neither is spreading the lie that black people vote democrat for handouts
I already do that I also let people know its more than having the choice but understanding the power of that choice. What is the right thing to do to bring about change on the national level?Do what YOU want to do. Uplift your families and people in your communities to do the same. Break the narrative and have a choiceSo what is the right thing to do?
That is not really how I see things.
The reps are the ones who actively stiffle black life in America: they are the ones suppressing the black vote, they are the ones advocating for longer sentences, they are the ones protecting white privilege, they are the ones protecting police abuse, they are the ones who supported policies that decimated black communities. Did democrats have policies that ended up hurting black folks too? Yes, and they recognized it and generally try to correct their approach. Republicans on the other hand have made it clear that they don't care about the black vote (despite us being among the most right-leaning lefties), so what would you do?
The Republicans don't have 80% of the black vote the Dems do. I'm not even concerning myself with them considering my people don't vote for them. Unfortunately we have an allegiance to a party who isn't about our best interests either. NEITHER parties are about the betterment of people living in impoverished communities and the abolishment of systematic oppression.
So the Russians aren't denying it anymore...

Again, when and where is this new black political party that you talked about getting created??
As deuce king put it, your best two choices are: one party that wants to **** up your life every which way they can think of, and the other one that wants you to live with the same opportunities that others have (or at least not add additional hurdles to your existence). Every other choice is inconsequential. Which one do you go with? Or do you sit on the sidelines, hoping for the best?

The black people in my communities do. I live in one of the worst neighborhoods in New York City and that's the only reason why they do.

Once we all get together and decide to break the mold and change the system as we know it for the betterment of us, regardless of rich or poor.
Well one example I would consider minimal progress which is progress non the less is under Obama we saw cases of when a cop murdered a black person the DOJ would investigate and expose the police force for what it is to the masses. This was minimal progress that would/could have lead to something bigger and would have continued under Clinton. We can kiss that minimal progress goodbye now under Trump.We don't agree on the parties so it's extremely hard for me to answer that question. I'll ask you a question though. What has the Democratic party done to ensure my people have the same opportunities as others ?As @Deuce King put it, your best two choices are: one party that wants to **** up your life every which way they can think of, and the other one that wants you to live with the same opportunities that others have (or at least not add additional hurdles to your existence).

You still can't use antedotal experience and incomplete information to make such a sweeping judgment
Even if that were true, what is wrong with that? Tons of upper class whites do that same with the GOP
Most welfare and government assistance in this country goes to the rich and corporations. Look at our tax code.
Voting for your economic interests is something everyone does. Well except a large majority of poor white people.
But anyway there are tons of reasons to vote Democrat over GOP with your black.
The Idiocracy begins...
This thread has been moving really fast for obvious reasons but if I remember correctly @Osh Kosh Bosh
was discussing with some people ITT what the democratic party could do in response to this. If I recall correctly some were arguing they have to move more progressive and @Osh Kosh Bosh
was saying he expects them to move more central again.
While it would be nice for the democratic party to move more left and embrace that there is historical precedence to @Osh Kosh Bosh
's argument. We have seen the democratic party respond this way before with how they lost the election to President Bush Sr. They where desperate to win elections after that so they compromised moved more central and embraced many aspects of Law and Order which Republicans used to win since Reagan and we know how that went.
While I think its likely the democratic party responds the same way (word to my sig) I would hope they learn from their mistakes and realize because of the inevitably changing demographics being "the party of diversity" is the best thing for long term success.
