See, you don't see your own problem.
Think about working hard and getting rich yourself instead of coveting your neighbor's goods.
Since when is keeping more of your money a sin, especially when we have the most over taxed rich folks in the world?

PS: We lost about half the rich folks since Obama took office, I hope that satisfies you.

Do you give your car to your neighbor to keep and also offer to pay for their gas and auto insurance? Why not, you seem to want other folks to do what you refuse to do.

They do, they vote for the Democrats who had hosed them at scools and fund the genocide of blacks through abortion mills.

Massa does give cookies called welfare and government jobs now and then. Giving away the treasury for the vote. In return the blacks get to see a 70% two parent household go down to what, 13%?

Pathetic IMO.

I want somebody from the republican party to address my SPECIFIC question, would voting for republicans benefit most african americans? I'm not talking about me only, but most african americans. What would the republican party do to address the problems that african american struggle with today. Don't tell me what we should do, but what can you do for african americans? If its your opinion that we are lazy, or search for handouts, what can the republican party do for us so that we don't rely on handouts. Somebody from the republican party answer that specific question. If democrats are lying to us, is voting republican a better choice?

Not at all true, we are talking about the Koch brothers who spend millions trying to convince idiots like you that by sucking them off and being a stooge for them you are supporting yourself. You are more deluded than a Jew who wants to be a Nazi.
You are off by 20% to start with at least and how the F do you know they did not go out and bust butt? The well off I know work 80 hours a week at something productive. When they die, after paying as much as 55% of their income to the tax man they again see their estates charged 50% upon death just for existing.

You sir are clueless.

How many non well off folks offer jobs around where you come from?
Zero would be the correct answer.
Punish success and leave the other people unemployed. You are brilliant...NOT!

Yes, because the days of all the public employment and entitlement income is dying for lack of any possible future funds.
Democrat blacks are riding a dead horse and need to be present in BOTH parties to have an effect in their own political future.

Call it what you will. Racism. Negligent. Ambivalence. Or simply deeming that population as unimportant. But the majority of Black Americans see the racially tinged issues that the Republican paryy has had in the past being brought forward into the present by their overt absence among us.
There's another problem. When most black people listen to republicans talk about them, all they hear is "welfare, Affirmative Action*, lazy, uneducated, Democrat Plantation", and other such insult, as we've seen in this thread. And that's at best - go into talk radio, Fox News, or the like, and you get Common portrayed as a Gangsta Rapper, Bill O'Reilly's amazement that black people can eat like civilized humans, and pictures of monkeys with Obama's face photoshopped onto them.

But when democrats go into black churches, or door-to-door in black neighborhoods, or go onto radio shows like the Tom Joyner Morning Show, they *constantly* talk about the importance of good jobs, hard work, clean living, taking care of your kids, education, and so forth, and their audience will fervently agree with them. Hell, Obama does this several times per year, and basically never gets attacked for it, because nearly everyone agrees with him. And so, in black neighborhoods, voting for democrats means voting for good education, strong families, and jobs, and voting for republicans is a vote for nothing.

blacks only represent 13% (I think that is the number but I could be wrong, somebody help me out with that number) of the population, so how is prepresenting both parties going to help us if we are divided among the parties. Also, what policies in the republican party will help african americans? Somebody answer that specific question?

It is going down from 13%, they've been dying out from abortion.

You form the debate and goals of both parties if you are there.

African Americans don't want debt for their children and grand kids that they made I don't think.
I'm like everyone else's parents you want the best for your kids and for them to be successes. You do that with a far different mentality than the one offered by Democrats.

you didn't answer my question, what are the specific policies that republicans have that will support african american issues? I'm not on welfare, but welfare helps blacks, if you want to get rid of it, what are wee supposed to do. Don't tell me get of my lazy ass and find a job. If i'm not able to, I want you to tell me what am I supposed to do if I have kids and can't get welfare. By the way, I'm just using welfare as an example.
