Black guy here.

Most black people dont hate whites. Id say about 60-65% dont mind whites and actually have a desire for white acceptance. This is especially true for folks that grew up in the 80s when the economy improved and more blacks became homebuyers. But there ARE elements of mistrust of whites, to varying degrees based on life experience, upbringing, age, etc.

I was talking to a conservative friend recently. Im a moderate Democrat that could swing either way under the circumstances. I revealed to him that that more and more blacks are getting fed up with the Democratic Party, and the GOP should start making moves to accept us. He agreed.

A large majority of blacks folks are just trying to live a good life and raise good families just like white people are. But the media always portrays us as lazy moochers who want nothing out of life, or criminals looking to scheme the system. Some of those exist, but not the majority. Its the same way the media portrays all conservative whites as lunatic bigots, when thats just not the case. Meet people, talk to people and sooner or later there will be less friction and more understanding.

I hope so. Not because I'm a republican or anything, as I also consider myself a moderate democrat, but because I know that black people have voted something like over 90% democratic since 1936, and it would seem to me that if they started swinging Republican they're finally thinking about shite instead of just blindly voting Democratic. Frankly, both sides have failed blacks, both sides have failed a LOT of people.


ETA: Not +90%, but definitely a large majority.

Have an Upvote

The media and Democratic Party, and especially our outgoing President, have continued to perpetuate racial discord because it fuels their agenda. And they've been somewhat successful, especially in the inner cities (whitey is keeping you down, but I'm gonna hand you this assistance check), but if one looks at county by county votes, I suspect you'd find any number of black voters with homes and jobs that are as tired of that hate mongering as the rest of us.
