Don't. We aren't your political football. We're smart enough to realize that since the implementation of The Southern Strategy, the Dems, for their many flaws, have been the most inclusive and least anti-black party.

When you're ready to discuss policies that will benefit black people, come talk to us. Until that day, save your faux concern.

Democrats were stealing from the black private sector and manipulating our democracy.


Not voting Republican but not voting Democrat either. When they come clean about Black Lives Matter I'll reconsider.

The only thing that can help black people is black people.

Don't look to some idiot politicians to help you.

Clean your own house.

My house is clean.

I will work to dismantle institutional racism and other structural impediments that prevent others from doing the same.

You think Black people like the Democrats. That's probably because you don't know any black people. We simply know that the GOP is more actively anti-black and anti-poor.

Meanwhile hood rats keep terrorizing black neighborhoods.

But keep trumpeting racism if it makes you feel better.

You can focus on symptoms, and I'll focus on the cause.

I've made several policy points about this phenomenon with regards to BLM getting traction on their issues. Hard to get reforms when much of the worst policing abuses occur in major urban metros that are typically about 75% democrat.

Take Chicago's attempted cover-up of the murder of Laquan Mcdonald?

Why have the protests fizzled out? Why has there been essentially zero fall-out over the cover-up?

Please notice, Chicago isn't going to go Republican I'm talking about black rights ability to get some social justice and change in a city that seems to be able to do what it wants and get away with it and then pull out the get out of racial injustice free card.

So, there you have it, no suggestion of voting for Republicans, just a question of how you get respect for your vote when it seems to be taken for granted.
