B****s are actually the wild card in terms of future e******ns, they can be as a significant block of v**ers the ones that mindlessly react to what they are going to perceive as broken promises. They v**ed as a solid block to get rid of trump and put democrats in control so that they could see changes to many things that affect them as a race.

The problem is the want it all and they want it now, and they are not shy about their movers and motivators in the party holding immediate results as a cudgel, and the only way to use that weapon is to withhold v**es in e******ns as a show of what happens when they don't get what they want when they wanted it.

The things they need take time, they take little steps that start making a difference over a decade, they need to have the leadership that understands recognizing the little steps, and that a game plan is a longer process than seeing these major changes this term. They need to see the obstruction going on by republicans and understand that there is not a thing this administration can do with that being a reality.

B****s have historically been hard to get to v**e because they have felt their v**e doesn't mean anything, it does, and not seeing changes is proof they better keep trying, not pull support for the party that is the only ones that can possibly make the changes they are looking for.

Democrats use b****s for their v**e and then abandon them once elected . Unkept promises . Why the black v**er falls for this every time baffles me to no end. I personally believe it's subliminal messages in TV programs and news stories but this is just a guess.

Perhaps the Democrats should keep their word instead of pandering for the v**e then disappearing aftherwards. They will continue to lose black and Brown v**es as more people step off the plantation!!

wood, What do you mean now? A great Jewish sage once said, " if not now, then when?" I think that after two hundred plus years of s***ery, and another hundred years plus of Jim Crow segregation, and worse the time is long past to continue to deny justice for African Americans. Things are getting worse, not better. The Republicans are trying to minimize the value of Black v**ers through gerrymandering and other nefarious tactics. Police in urban areas are continuing to k**l B****s for driving, or running while Black! Enough is enough!

Summary: Dems will keep breaking their promises but b****s shouldn't stop v****g for them because at least they're making promises...

Its the promise of all kinds of benefits to help them along.. When they buy into it and the dems are elected they are thrown pittance to keep them under control feeding them more BS… A vicious intended cycle.

The b****s actually had more employment under Trump, got away from the pittance mentality seeing their own independence in having a real job, earning their own wages, more money than what the dems throw their way, some wanting better but the others who chose to live on the pittance outweighs the others that really do want a better life.. An internal fight within their own class and until more want, truly want, their own independence and earning potential that fight has a long way to go… Trump got the highest percentage of black v**es altho still significantly less than the dems.. Shows some were seeing the light of reality which scared the hell out of dems even more!!

According to Abraham Lincoln they should not be able to v**e. (Lincoln/Douglas debate #4)

But you also know of the:
Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution (1868) granted African Americans the rights of citizenship. However, this did not always t***slate into the ability to v**e. Black v**ers were systematically turned away from state polling places. To combat this problem, Congress passed the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870. It says:

The right of citizens of the United States to v**e shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude..

River, According to the thirteenth amendment to the constitution, the African Americans have the right to v**e.

That is true. I think Abe was smarter than whoever caused that.

Yeah, "the things they need take time". After just a few decades of repeated lies/the destruction of the nuclear black family/creation of a welfare/dependency culture black people are demanding solutions "right now" that the Democrat/C*******t Party has been promising for 50/60 years. How unreasonable of them, huh. Next thing you know they will accept the fact that the Democrat/C*******t Party has been lying to them/using them. How awful

Personal opinion Wood ok. Many of the black issues that I see( and I'm not all-seeing) are caused by the black community themselves. EXAMPLE --death by shootings in black communities is 95% done by other b****s and if you tell them this they get pissed. When the police come into their communities to investigate they are threatened and no one didn't see a damn thing nobody knows anything. Then they get on tv and say the police did nothing it's claimed to be all the fault of white people. They complain they can't get jobs they get fired because they're black. When you get a job at ANY company YOU white or black , brown or any color as an employee are their biggest advertisement how you dress how you talk to others ADDITUTED will get you fired talking back to your super gets you fired sitting on your ass doing nothing gets you fired. UNTIL the black community takes responsibility for their own actions and communities and allows police to do their job and let them know what they know to help nothing will change. I have been a supervisor at a job when my shift shows up pass out assignments give updates and special info to those that have an extra duty to perform before a certain time. Then someone walks in 30-40 minutes late I tell them about their assignment when trying and tell them about anything special needed on their assignment I get told YOU don't tell me how to do my job even sent another black employee to fill them in and they get told off. Come morning walk up and ask if this has been done they get pissed YOU didn't tell me about thatYOU didn't want to listen remember get it done. I get reported for being r****t and picking on her for being black nobody cares what anyones color is but they sure are getting tired of the temper tantrums and total BS

Except excons .a previous condition of servitude that denies one the right to v**e in many states. Seems unconstitutional according to the 15th amendment

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Arguably it is and why some states automatically restore after sentencing is completed or others require clemency to restore.. A big part of the debate for or against felons v****g…

A lot more to it but just a bit here..
