Because that's an extremely selfish attitude when the fact is that Blacks as a whole are disproportionately suffering the results of horrendously misguided Democrat ideology. Are all Democrats like that? I got mine so *********?
Republicans try to encourage everyone to succeed. They also try to make it possible for them to do so. For example, offering school vouchers instead of trapping Blacks in disproportionately underachieving public schools.
But, hey, yeah... keep voting Democrat. Is that why you're successful? Because Democrats are deliberately keeping other Blacks down?
Think about that...
Look at you...Mister Arrogant White Man.
You really think you retain the right to tell this black man what to do and who he should vote for?
Wish I could say that I'm surprised, but I'm not. Your attitude is fairly routine.
In any case, I'm doing well. I have no obligation to change my vote based on the lives of others.
Again, maybe you should change your vote. Doesn't sound like your life is going too well.
Black unemployment fell from 19.5 percent in 1983 to 11.4 percent in 1989. Black-owned businesses saw income rise from $12.4 billion in 1982 to $18.1 billion in 1987. That's an annual average growth rate of 7.9 percent. The black middle class grew by 33% during the Reagan years, from 3.6 million to 4.8 million.
People can refer to you as whatever they want to, if you choose not to acknowledge it that's on you but people call you a negro all the time. The US Census calls you a negro, you probably don't care one bit about that.
What the census does is immaterial. You ain't the census so act accordingly.
Not that I needed to tell you that. You were already following the rules.

When former President George H.W. Bush was in office, Black unemployment rates started to go back up. Under Clinton, the Black unemployment rate dropped and continued to drop until 1999. Under Bush, Black unemployment rates were rising, and then started dropping, and then started rising in 2006.
BTW, I did vote for former President Bush in 2004. Guess what it did for me. Nothing. I had to work harder than many of my friends to get a job.
The idea propagated in this thread that Republicans represent the interests of anyone but the wealthy is absurd. The corporatists (well represented in the Dems as well) are the reason the middle class is in its current state.

This is part of the reason I don't really trust either party. I have become more independent as time progresses. I've been disappointed by both parties, so the idea that things will get better under a Republican, to me it is laughable.
African-American baby boomers including yours truly unquestionably realize that a good education is a must in order to succeed, and that's been the case for decades; why the overwhelming majority of blacks continue to vote for Democrats continues to astound me.
If everyone and especially blacks started reading words of wisdom from African-American economists such as Thomas Sowell and Walter E. Williams which appear every Tuesday & Wednesday respectively on the Creators website, they'd be infuriated by having believed that race-baiting cretins such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson command absurd amount of attention for no remotely intelligent reason for so long.
