Even in Atlanta, Black leaders have concluded that the Liberal policies are crushing their communities.
Hats off to this Black female politician (Mesha Mainor) for flipping from the Demcrat party to the Republican party today...like Vernon Jones did before her...also in Atlanta.
The Liberals siding w/ teachers unions over students, has led to failed schools in Black communities.
Defunding police has decimated Black communities too...crime, drugs, food & perscription drug deserts abound.
And when Dems leave, Liberals attack them like packs of rabid Dogs drooling White foam form their mouths.
If the DNC continues to lose Blacks, Dems will be hard pressed to win national elections.
I commend Representative Mesha Mainor for doing what is right for her constituancy...& Vernon Jones too.
Yeah I have no idea why blacks continue to support the party that has done nothing constructive for them. It's the democrat policies that keep blacks in poverty and in terrible schools.

Yes this is true. However, Democrats keep their harvest of black people economically and financially challenged to keep them in check. Sadly, the community has been trained by their handlers about what 'free' stuff can I get.
I live essentially across the street from her district (which she represents GA Tech, West Midtown, Vine City, Cascade Heights). She was trying to push school choice vouchers and a few other traditionally republican policies around here and her constituents weren't having it at all. Anyway I'm sure this switch will bring her some $$ as she makes her exit from politics.
I’m highly skeptical. While I agree that Trump (assuming he is the nominee) will get more of the black vote, it won’t be very much more.
Republicans would be better off focusing on registered Republican voters, ensuring that they go door to door and collect every single ballot, assist folks with voting.
People are lazy nowadays, and many won’t vote if left on their own. But if you make it easy for them, they will vote. Democrats have already learned this.

Maybe it is the facts that:
1. Conservatives did not back the civil rights movement; it was a progressive joint.
2. The GOP held itself open as welcoming segregationists from the Democratic arty in the sixties
3. There was a proposal to include on the GOP platform in 1960 "All Negroes should be sent back to Africa". The proposal failed.
4. The Republican paragon Reagan got his start in politics opposing open housing and went on to oppose the Civil Right Act and the Voting Rights Act.
5. When the RNC got Mike Steele, a black man, as its head in the wake of the Obama election, he remarked that the GOP fat cats did not know how to deal with a black person.
6. The GOP today finds it hard to reject the support of racist elements in US society.
7. Every winning GOP presidential candidate since Nixon has involved race-baiting in his presidential run -- such appeals must be acceptable and favorable to the GOP voters.
I support Black people leaving the Democrat party but I don't agree with jumping from one plantation to another and joining the Republican party. I guess if you're a politician and want to win you have to join one of the parties but for every other black person, going Independent is the only option that makes sense to me.
Neither party sticks to most of what they claim they will do, the culture war stuff does not address most issues Black families deal with, and quite a number of Republican congressmen sound just as racist as Biden in the 1980s or as condescending as the White liberal Elites. Just this week we had Tommy Tuberville seeming to give White Nationalists a pass on a Sunday show and some State legislators in Oakholoma trying to explain why teaching the facts of the Tulsa Massacre is CRT because Race is mentioned. Jeez.
Black folk in the US that are not running for office should be independent and not beholden to either one of these political clown cars.
So she is a flip flopper and decided that her Values were more important than the people who she was elected to represent. I wonder if the people who voted for feel like they have been backstabbed.

You are living in the past. You are posting about issues from 40-60 years ago, and even Steele left the RNC a decade ago.
Everything else is just propaganda you picked up watching the liberal media.
But I’m glad you don’t want to be in the same party as I do. If you haven’t figured it out by now, you belong with the Dems, voting in an 80 year old dementia patient. Enjoy.
