If answered the OP question. Now for this question. Who cares who Blacks vote for? Why is it anyone's business who Black Americans vote for?

Yep. That poster has a record of making very hostile and demeaning posts about Black people.

All the more reason said person's posts are suspect. Someone referring to government jobs as "freebies" is suspect. Said person was looking for any reason to paint Blacks as THE PROBLEM.

Meets with (real) black leaders at the WH regularly. Not race baiter extortionist Al Sharpton.

Why would you vote Democrat if you are black?
Why would a black person want to vote for a POTUS who always sides with and speaks up for racists? Time and time again, trump refuses to repudiate racism. Most people have pride and place that over the pocketbook.

I had issues with Trump before that. Central Park 5 ad, his birther remarks, his "look at my African-American over there" comment, his ""Our great African American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are destroying Baltimore" comment.

There is a massive skills and qualifications gap between Blacks, Whites and all other groups. Of course I'm not naive about that. You are aware of this gap as well.

You and others are being willfully ignorant to pretend that isn't at the root of the discrepancies in life outcomes for Black Americans.

Blacks want government handouts. That's not an opinion. That's a fact.

He’s just mad because blacks won’t vote the way he demands that we do, and they can’t do ANYTHING about it.

They can all go bite a dog for all I care.

So what if we do? And? You got a problem with that?

Everyone else is getting theirs, so we’re getting ours. Deal with it.

I think said person has a hatred for Blacks, and the way alot of Blacks vote is just one part of it. We're here in America as citizens. Black individuals headed for the poll will make their own decisions on who to vote for, and no one here can control who Blacks vote for.

Most of us aren't looking for handouts. Most of us who have jobs don't need welfare. Said person is just looking for every reason to vent one's hatred/resentment towards Blacks.
