Shhhhhhhhhhhh...we don't want them to figure that out!

PLENTY of them are living in poverty. Just look at Appalachia, a poor white working class area containing diehard, life-long Republican voters. Guess it never trickled down for them.

Tell you what...all you white folks hiring illegals need to fire all of them and give those jobs to blacks RIGHT NOW. Not tomorrow or next week. Now.

After all the illegals are fired and deported, then talk to me.

Till then....blehhhhhhh!


You haven't earned the right to demand that answer and receive it. "Because I feel like it" is the only answer you've earned.

If you want an actual answer, go up to an actual black man and demand an answer. See how that works out.

But coming from me? Nunya business.

Couldn't have said it better lol... If they haven't figured out why after all this time then they will never figure out how to earn the votes of minorities either

As I said... 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.
Petch, if you really don't care about color, how come you show up in almost every thread about color?

Interestingly, they said they did after the last presidential election. Remember? They talked very earnestly about how they needed to build a bigger tent. They were very serious about it. And then, they did nothing. In fact, they did worse than nothing -- there were fewer Black delegates at this year's convention than anytime in the recent past.

Fair enough. If you care, tell us what specifically you do for poor people in general.

Exclamation Afria to break the chains of Entitlements

The problem is Obama and 40 years of the war on poverty from LBJ has not benefited African Americans. In fact they have lost ground in the last 8 years of Obama. I think many of the poor is afraid to break the chains of entitlement programs, because they do NOT see a prosperous future.


That's why they vote Democrat even thought she is a criminal and has perjured herself many times over.

Complaining about it isn't helping your case. Might want to think your methods over. The first one is realizing there are many reasons people don't vote like you. The sooner you realize your vote isn't the only correct one, nor your political beliefs are the only valid ones, maybe then minorities MIGHT start voting GOP. But I won't, because I don't vote Democrat for "free stuff", that's not what I'm after nor millions of African-Americans

Honest question.
1. Why does everyone think most black people live in the hood?
2. Why does everyone think most black people are reaping in benefits? 28% of blacks are poor and because of welfare queens 45% of black children are from poor families. The white ratio is around 9%, 2/20 compared with 5/20.
3. Why do most republicans I this thread except for like 6 of them think insulting someone and telling them their stupid is a viable strategy for winning them over?
4. For republicans Kasich and Rand Paul were some of your best candidates, so was Ben Carson till he opened his mouth. You chose Donald Trump someone who posts false murder stats from a Neo-nazi and thinks that just because he insults Latinos and Muslims that blacks will suddenly think, wow he isn't directly insulting us let's vote for him!
5. You guys who we thought were religious like most older blacks manage to vote someone who probably accidentally brings the Quran or his autobiography to Church and try to pass him of as religious when we all know Obama is more religious than the Donald. Also hating on gays isn't being religious.

Why are republicans so desperately wanting the black vote? Because Republicans would most benefit by focusing on African-American voters. Rather than attempting to replicate the look of the Democrat party.


I have yet to see any solutions other than point fingers at Democrats and tell black people to stop voting for them and come to the Republican Party. Is this really the way to win over a group of people.
