If half of blacks vote republican and half vote democrat....it would have the same impact as if blacks did not vote at all.

My vision is for it to be similar to threads that I've started in the past by having some starter questions with other topics to eventually evolve from the initial questions.


Do you identify as ADOS or are you descended from another region (West Indies, Africa, etc)?

Do you identify politically as a Democrat, Republic, Independent, or Other?

Do you identify as conservative, liberal, moderate, or other?

What region are you currently located in?

When it comes to illegal immigration, do you think that it's worse in some areas than others?

Where do you primarily get your news from? (FOX, CNN, etc?)

Should black people form their own political parties?

What's your stance on movements such as "BLEXIT" and the like?

When it comes to the state of black Economics (depending on your area), what would you like to see change? What can we do to attain that?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
"and wanted to start a space for blacks", that is RACIST!


I KNOW who would chime in and whine like little babies if I started a WHITE ONLY forum.

"We have black journalist conventions." and black Miss America contests, black music awards, black TV stations, black colleges, etc.

If some WHITE guy even TRIED to do a "white" (fill in the blanks) he would IMMEDIATELY be call a "racist" by the left media, which is MOST of the media, and MANY blacks on here.!

I am constantly amazed how so much effort and hard work went into getting rid of segregation, MLK,

" have a dream (Yeah) [applause] that my four little children (Well) will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" and even today many blacks want "black only" (fill in the blanks).

Are you a descendant of the African Diaspora?

Is the word "diaspora" commonly used to describe all black people living outside Africa, much like Jews living outside Israel are said to be living in the diaspora? (No snark please. Simple, honest question.)

Not true.

Are you saying that blacks should have any diverse opinions? We should all be of the same mind? If black folk are to be relevant, we all should point in one direction only - am I getting that right?
