LOL, if you read my previous post it may have sunk in that I said ....

That means ANYONE who is on welfare is a burden to society.

Democrats are good at glossing over facts and that's obviously why you like them. I'd rather be TRUTHFUL, face the FACTS, talk about the issues, which is the first step in coming up with solutions. Democrats prefer glossing over them, which means they IGNORES it as if it doesn't exist.

Which do you think will work toward a solution?

So are you all facing the fact that you will lose the presidential election (and possibly the Senate majority) if the doom and gloom message, the messenger and the delivery does not change? Because the facts are that enough people aren't buying what the Republicans are selling.

Republicans would probably lose more ground in state legislatures as well if gerrymandering was stopped.

But let's contiune to believe this "theory" or "lie" that the democrats used today to collect their subordinates. Yes, I'm mean us non-white Americans.
Nixon was one of the most racist presidents in our history.

The hell are you talking about? Have you even read the transcripts of the Nixon tapes?

No. And until you do, put a sock in it.

In my opinion, the democratic party manipulates blacks and we should be voting republican. We also tend to support abortion (because apparently we don't think adoption is an option).
They're manipulating YOU. Speak for yourself.

Once again, think before you vote. The Democrap party doesn't care black people, not one bit - this is not to say that Republicans care about the poor. Once the Democrap import the 50 million illegals, the blacks would no longer be their darling as the Democrap would be kissing the behind of all the Latinos.

The Latinos will take your jobs, welfare, school, AA, medicaid etc. etc. All of it. You would be lucky to have some of the leftover.

YOU WILL BE BRED OUT!
I'm voting for the Democrat. Get over it.

And if Hispanics are hurting blacks so much, you'd be happy instead of being so despondent. You're crying in your post.

Meanwhile, I'm not worried even a little bit.

Democrats buy votes with Santa Clause government.
Heck they were slave owners, not one Republican.
They also in the party housed the KKK and all those hosing black kids out of school.

They are the globalist taking mucho money and directions according to leaked Email from George Soros to create globalization.
Soros and the DNC emails show BLM are just an arm of the Democrat party, not some grass roots deal.

With Democrats buying everyone and being bought out by the 1% for globalization, I don't know where Republicans go.
People are kind of lazy so a message of working hard vs. one of here's a plate of dollar bills just isn't sexy.

Many need to grow up with their voting. All the Democrat control given by black neighborhoods for decades has done nothing but make things rot and get worse.
Instead of rewarding failure, when do suffering people in poverty hold Democrats and their failed social engineering accountable.

I won't beg or pander to anyone for a vote (unlike Hillary). If you're happy with the way your life is then by all means vote for Hillary.

Shrug. I laugh when people shoot themselves in the foot. That's my entertainment.

Actually, you are the one who brought up welfare and who it relates to Blacks, and then made other broadsweeping statements about Blacks.

And something else.

The mental block that keeps the GOP from engaging black folks and others could have something to do with its perception of the issues we care about.
For instance, a prominent black Republican in Illinois told me about a presentation a few years ago with party elders about how they could attract black voters. When it was all done, this Republican said, the first comment from the floor was, "We are not going to support welfare."

The group of black Republicans was puzzled: "We didn't even bring up welfare. What are you talking about?"
The GOP apparently has the idea that minorities don't care about education, taxes, entrepreneurship, homeownership, and a litany of other issues.

I don't care what color skin you have the best thing anyone can do for society is to be able to support themselves, if you can't do that then you are a burden to society.

If you didn't care about color, you wouldn't have brought up Blacks being on welfare.
