If you want to lock arms with them and support their idiotic views & stereotypes on race -- have at it. Just don't ask me why I'm not showing up at your next Klan rally.
And it's statements like the above that have white people turning away from democrats and voting for republicans in droves with democrats scratching there heads wondering why that is. Your spouting off the same racial bs that you claim republicans are guilty of so you are no better in that regard and that is why white people have been turning away from democrats.

What were you saying about the Republican Party? The party that wants to "take the country back?"
Funny the jacking up of housing prices have been going on in cities which are controlled by democrats to make way for hipsters and yuppies while kicking out black people. Yet you are going to blame republicans for that?

So you're saying that complaining about Conservatives buddying up to racists is making White people not like Democrats? For example, when people were complaining about the #3 Republican in the House who went to speak at a White supremacy conference, that drove White voters away from Democrats?

The "reason" is your personal opinion, and regardless of the "reason", the results are the same.

The results indicate the overwhelming majority of this voting block is content with its representation. Again, what else can anyone assume?

Any way a person decides to vote is cool with me; however, if I can also give my personal opinion. I am not a one issue voter and loathe identity politics myself. To each his own.

I don't live in a city. If you think black politicians have anything to do with gentrification, you are mistaken.

There is nothing more to discuss really.
That's my thoughts exactly. They've made up their mind, if pandering is what it takes I hope R's never bow that low. They feel Democrats are doing the job. Ok then, ... Next

I wonder why a black republican is thought of as a sellout? Are they owned and "expected" to vote democrat but since they don't comply they call them "a sellout, an Uncle Tom"? I thought people are free to vote which ever they want, are they beholden to the democratic party?

I'm saying your racist comments make you no better then supposed racist you are cutting up. That is what I'm saying. As far as racist goes the late Senator Robert Byrd was a full fledged klan member at one time who was in the democratic party for decades. We also have ******* like Al Sharpton who have made rather common racist remarks and yet that moron is a white house advisor. So as far as being racist turning people away from party goes that works both ways.

These cities are run by democrats and gentrification has there approval so you voting for democrats is supporting those policies is what I'm getting at.
