It's gotten them a hell of lot farther than the it would have gotten then with Barry Goldwater who opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Ronald Regan who turned his back on Black Americans in the inner city, and George W. Bush Jr. who has the worst record of economic stewardship of any president since Herbert Hoover.
Are you serious? I would venture to say that black people are worst off then they were 50 years. We have a high drop out rate, high out of wed lock birth rate, high unemployment rate, high poverty rate, high hiv/aids rate, high abortion rate, I mean what exeactly has democrats done to make life in the black community so great that blacks keep voting at a 90% rate for democrats?

How can you blame everyone else for the black community's problems of high drop out rats, high HIV/AIDS rate and high abortion/teen age pregnancies/single mothers rates????
And how can you blame any of those real problems on non-whites, Democrats or Republicans? We can't control your poor decision making skills. We can monitor your attitudes towards sex or make you practice safe sex or make you use birth control or marriage.
Again, the black community has to pull together, admit their cultural shortcomings and all consciously move towards a better lifestyle.
What i take personally is the stupidity of a post like this posing as some sort of informative essay on how someone else should vote based on YOUR experience.
My vote contributes to black unemployment? GTFOH. Peoples own shortcomings, OR their present bad luck contributes to their unemployment. Don't try to guilt trip me into that bullsh*t with some nonsense about how i supposedly vote. I vote for MY interests based on my beliefs.
You're sucking wind right now. Too bad. Work harder, or go back to school. But don't me that i should vote Republican because you're having a hard time right now.
"I would think you would want better for us." Aint that a b*tch?
All I am saying that there is no return on investment from the years of 95%+ of support of Dems by black people. Kids in the inner city are not getting the tools to change their destiny. DC had a voucher program that was making a difference. The GOP tried to renew this - Dems let it wither on the wine a couple of years ago and parents were upset. Many school systems are day care centers with standardized tests thrown in to keep educators honest.
Dems in Congress have no incentive for making things better for black people - and why should they? They already get basically all of the black vote. Why change what works FOR THEM?
Years ago Farrakhan said something on Meet the Press - one of the few things I agree with him on 100%. He said Democrats take advantage of black people. Republicans ignore black people. That's not word for word - but it's the main idea. It's to the Dems advantage that blacks are kept down and dependent. At least on the right if we can get the tools, they won't hold us back from acquiring wealth.
Not worried - but you seem to take that personally.
Interesting you shrug your shoulders at the unemployment status and the fact that your vote contributes to that. I would think you would want better for us. I know I do - and I know the Democrat government structure (higher taxes, NEA schools, dependant on welfare & unemployment) as it is today won't do jack for the majority of black people.
They've been told how to vote. Its easier to not think about/question it.

I agree, I believe in self reliance. Democrats welfare policies have destroyed the black family, which is a major reason why a lot of this problems exist. In 1965 the out of wed lock birth rate for blacks was 25% today its 70%! Also democrats have brain washed a lot of black people into believing that all of our problems are because of the white people.

Black people are worse off than they were 50 years ago? Life circa 1962 pre-civil rights America was better? That's pure comedy.
If I spoke to you on the phone you'd have no idea that I'm Black in fact I've done business with several people in South Korea in the past couple of years and I love the look on their faces when they see me. They get over it quickly enough.
Not every Black person walks around speaking "Ebonics".
You statements are nothing more than a reflection of your biases, ignorance and prejudices.
Miu didn't say all blacks speak Ebonics.
He said if they do, they will have a hard time getting good employment.
The inability of the Obama administration to find any way to alleviate Black unemployment points to a larger failure in American society and our public schools: African Americans will not prosper in the coming years until inner cities become less tightly regulated and highly taxed, public schools reorient to promote entrepreneurialism instead of pre-bureaucracy training and we develop better credit facilities for small business nationwide.
96% of black people vote for this - and I'm not just talking about Obama only, but the whole Democrat government structure.
Let me guess. You're a Republican shill trying to use this to convince Black voters to vote against Obama?
How does tight regulation and "high" taxation (comparative statistics, please) hurt Blacks? Wouldn't it primarily hurt the White-owned businesses and corporations located in downtown areas ? This sounds like an attempt to disguise a pro-corporate agenda as a pro-Black one. You'll have to provide more info in order to convince us.
Obamacare = Romneycare, so it makes no sense for you to vote for Romney either.
How much has your tax rate gone up since Obama was elected???????
So you are now saying Obama couldnt come up with a policy on his own, that he had to steal Romneys? Since you like obamcare so much, does this mean you'll be supporting the one who created the plan, or the one who had to plagarize and steal someone elses?
