It's not messaging. You are looking at a SMALL, SMALL window of time and expecting blacks to be pulled to the other side based upon this one moment in time. The low unemployment rate is NOT permanent. Everyone knows this. What do the republicans offer that is sustainable?
That is absolutely the weakest, most self serving reply you could have crafted. Your assertion that black people are doomed to step back in time is not supported by anything at all.
On the black - that is your bias showing in that you think that black people care anything about what white Democrats say or that we cannot think for ourselves. Black people IMO know what and who is racist more than anyone else in this country. We especially don't need .......................
Meh ..... First you accuse me of announcing that black people cannot think for themselves.
Then you go to great lengths to tell me how they all feel.....
The VAST majority of conservatives/republicans are not racist.
As a white person, I’ve had the same racist or bigoted experience with democrats. Hispanics have called me racist names, blacks have too and the former very liberal black mayor of my city was caught in a private email saying how much he hated whites and couldn’t stand it when it snowed, as it reminded him of all the white people here.
Democrats have said such bigoted things about us conservatives — we are “deplorable, ignorant, they can smell us in Walmart “ you see black commentators talking about how horrible whites ALL are even openly now on CNN and MSNBC.
There are racists in every culture — how much energy and attention do you want to give them? The focus on racism just devides us, makes us angry, defensive, more tribal.
A wise older black woman once said to me, “if I don’t go looking for prejudice, it doesn't come looking for me”....
LOOK, I never said all conservatives were racists. In fact, you omitted the part where I said that not all conservatives are racists. If you hadn't, this post you made wouldn't exist. I said that I was talking about MY personal experiences. If what I said offends you, you might want to ask yourself why that is.
And something else. America was a divided country from day one. I don't have to go looking for racism and prejudice to find it. That Black woman you mention doesn't represent what I've dealt with in MY life.

Yet, these types of blacks will vote for the Democrats even though they are embracing the invasion of our country which not only depletes job opportunities for whites but blacks also. They are also having to pay their fair share of the over $100 billion a year that these illegals aliens cost us. They also have taken over predominantly black neighborhoods. But apparently the socialism of the Democrats and the fact that these illegal aliens are minorities like themselves supercedes their loss job opportunities, higher taxes and losing their neighborhoods. The attitude is if there's noting personal in it for me then they don't care about this illegal invasion of their own country.
I still don't get where they think most Republicans in congress or out in mainstream are racists against blacks. I guess they just believe whatever the Democrats tell them.
There is something I have thought about. There were two people who visited the White House this past week. The last living member of the Tuskegee Airmen, and Rush Limbaugh. That Tuskegee pilot got honored. However, Rush Limbaugh got honored much more. Limbaugh got the Presidential Medal of Honor. This is why it bothers me. That Black pilot served this country, at a time when this country wouldn't love him back. He was fighting for the USA when there were still Black and White only restrooms. The military was still segregated. What has Rush Limbaugh done for this country, other than spout his rhetoric from the airwaves?
I think about it because there are alot of Black people who do believe Trump is a racist. Brigadier General Charles McGee not getting the Presidential Medal of Honor from Trump might confirm that. Rush Limbaugh getting it instead of Brigadier General Charles McGee will definitely do that. An honorary promotion, well, this is how I see it. Given what Brigadier General McGee did, when he did it, and considering he's done so much more than Rush Limbaugh has ever done for this country, he's owed more than an honorary promotion.

To be fair, "The VAST majority" seems to be a bit of emphasis on your comment of "Not all." That being said, I agree that America has always been divided. I would even go further to say that the level of racism that we are observing in some today cannot be taught or instilled. One either has that degree of prejudice or they don't.

More than anything else, I see President Trump as somebody who LOVES attention be it positive or negative.

I think MOST people are tribal by nature (i.e. "birds of a feather flock together). Acknowledging racism shouldn't divide us, but it SHOULD be a lesson to keep our guard up. Not to the point that we are always paranoid but we should proceed with caution.

You come off as a whiney baby.McGee is a decorated Hero and was duly recognized for his service.This is today and now and Rush may be dying and Trump just wanted him to be recognized before that sad day comes.All you care about is the race of people and not the person.And you go out of your way to keep that crap alive.Go wallow in your self pity and keep it to yourself I don't buy your crap dude.
