You don't suggest disproportionately less educated = less intelligent, do you?

What else are you eluding to?

Why are native born blacks worse off than illegal invaders? Wouldn't they concentrate their concerrns and plant bugs in the ears of their elected officials? Why aren't Sharpton and Jackson on this at present time? Why isn't the influx of unskilled illegals taking jobs from disproportionately less educated native born blacks a priority to those who shape public opinion about all things racial?

Slavery existed long before the Declaration of Independence, and it existed throughout the world, not just here in America. I suggest you study the history of slavery, and the Atlantic Slave Trade (run by Muslims).

The Founders knew intuitively that slavery was wrong, but some did not agree. In order to have the Constitution ratified by all the Colonies, they had to take the issue of slavery "off the table."

I'm not going to sit here and give you a history lesson. Go learn it for yourself. Here is a great place to start: https://online.hillsdale.edu/

Sign up for their Constitution Courses, and find out why the issue of slavery was not taken up, and how it came up with the expansion West. You can even read about the debates which took place.

No one who advocates for Constitutional government, as our founders designed it advocates for repealing civil rights or women's voting rights. That is absurd. Have you heard anyone argue for such repeal?

It has been "Progressivism" that has been the sole advocate and the reason for the expansion of government. You will learn the origins of "Progressivism" too.
You constitutional purests need to realize that the Founders were a bunch of idiots that get way too much credit.

Remember, Men =/= non-white men or women.

Intelligence and educated are not synonymous.

Native born blacks have been subject to 400 years worth of oppression on American soil. Immigrant blacks haven't. Immigrant blacks score better in educational attainment than any racial / ethnic group in America.

Coincidence?

Youre not in that group are you?

Actually, there's only one political party in the US that continues to fight for the rights of it's base to kill their future voters and it's certainly not Republicans. This is the one and only reason that this conservative is 100% pro-choice, there's no better way to eliminate liberalism in this country than to be pro-choice.

Hell these stupid dems can't even spell "constituents", those ignorant morons are in a panic right now because even they know what's coming in a couple months. All they can do is throw out false claims of racism and hope that something sticks.

No race does not control every face of politics today. You think it does because simply mentioning race does not mean race is the issue at hand.

Common sense is oh so wrong so much of the time.

Found this Politico article that was very well written.

3 pages of article, I don't imagine anyone will read more than the first page, but it highlights the myth that the modern GOP is the party of anti-racism, and that the Democratic Party is the party of racism. Let's put that revisionist history to rest
The D-party has weaponized racism first, making that nuclear bomb unavailable to the repubs. The media has set itself up as the judge and jury, who has found in favor of the D-party.

Love the part of revisionist history as now we understand what Michelle Obama was talking about when she said we had to rewrite our history in her speech in PR.

Surprised that the media never pursued what MO meant by that comment. It is now clear MO had turned several pages ahead in the socialist D-party's strategy plan and gave us a hint at what was to come.

So protests in CO and minions everywhere are coming out of the woodwork, in great coincidence, with claims conservatives are 're-writing history'. Projectionism is another tool the D-party uses to effect.

Right out of the superhero comic books that created the great orator and nobel peace prize winner, our hero holding up a mirror to reflect back the lightnng bolt shot from the fingertips of the 'villian'.

Look no further for D-party strategy than the superhreo comic books, the real birth place of obama.

Yes, perspective is everything. Why would blacks vote for a party that constantly insults them and belittles them, and has a clear history of supporting white racists post Civil Rights Act? Which party was it that embraced disenfranchised white racist voters?
Perspective is everything and I do find it interesting how different people view different circumstances. If I were a black person I would find it insulting and belittling that the Democrat party thinks that I am incapable of getting an ID that verifies that I am who I say I am. I would also find it insulting that liberals deflect and blame a "culture of racism" for inappropriate or violent actions that are taken by others of my race, as opposed to expecting the acceptance of personal responsibility for personal actions. I would find it insulting that those who speak of empathy and increased opportunity do not care to acknowledge that the black race has financially fallen deeper into a hole in the last 6 years than other races in this country. I would find it insulting that supposed leaders in the black community pay only passing lip service to the violence that is perpetrated (primarily by blacks against other blacks) in the inner cities of this country, and that deflection and a lack of desire to "work the problem" dominates what little conversation there is about the issue. In 2014 I would find Affirmative Action belittling. I can make it on my own merits and my own hard work thanks. I would look around me and see the violence and the poverty and the single parenthood and the hopelessness and the lack of true role models and the culture of anger and/or victimhood that has been developed over decades and I would ask...........what have you done for me lately?

I know others don't see it that way. I'm sure that YOU don't see it that way. But at some point there has to be some kind of truth, some kind of honesty, some kind of understanding that family stability, decent education, acceptance and expectation of personal responsibility, and job opportunities are the way out of extreme poverty. The GOP may not be the answer. But an automatic vote for the Democrat Party is not the answer either.
