It is kind of interesting that blacks have the highest approval rating of one party of any demographic.

I think it's dangerous that one group votes that lockstep with one party. There HAS to be more diversity of thought there.

Imagine if 87% of white people voted for republicans. It would be a national story that was shaped as a disgrace.

It's almost statistically impossible that 15% of the population could vote for one party upwards of 9 out of 10 times if the people were actually thinking for themselves.

Many blacks who vote Dem are extremely conservative.

Giving one party 90% of your vote is a recipe for them taking you for granted. "If you don't know if you're for me or Trump...you ain't black!"

It only works though, if one has no problem being patronized or pandered to.

A neck on the knee for 9 minutes is a "special arrangement"? How about being choked to death for selling loose cigarettes?

I gave you the answer that you’re looking for. We support him because we feel like it. No African American really has any business giving you any other answer. And even that’s saying too much if I’m being real.

You've decided to take the question negatively. I genuinely want to understand why young Blacks would overwhelmingly support a man/party with such a terrible history towards Blacks. Is there something Biden/Dems are doing the rest of us aren't aware of? Are they flat out acknowledging that they'll support anyone who gives them free stuff? Help us understand. "I feel like it" is good reason for thinking someone is attractive or explaining why your favorite color is pink. It's an odd reason to support a President and, quite frankly, makes it seems like you know you don't have a defendable answer.

Haven't we learned by now that "polls" are vapid marketing tools?

Depending on how many, who, location, cherry picking, control sample,.etc,...you can get a poll to show almost anything.

They basically end up being peer pressure articles to influence people into not wanting to be the minority. Make them feel like hey, this is what everyone else thinks, why don't you? You some kinda weirdo?

Not accurately telling you what people are thinking, but what you should be thinking.
And it snowballs too, like Yahoo putting an article on their front page and saying it's trending, yeah, because you put it on your front page! lol.

I'll give Biden a point for sending in a Strike Force to NYC though. That ought to be fun. DiBlasio sure ain't cutting it.

You've cited a couple of examples of police malfeasance. I can find just as many examples of police malfeasance against whites. Look up Daniels Shaver. Or Justine Ruszczyk. Do you understand the different between causation and correlation? Your post has nothing to do with the topic of this thread. Furthermore, you've swallowed a false narrative fed to you by the very party/man you're defending.

Blacks are the most reliable vote for the Democrats. Election after election they line up like sheep and vote for them. Got to keep those freebies coming!
