I'm no longer a Liberal, Democrat, Progressive, whatever

I'm a 38 year old black man who has been voting democrat straight down the line since I was 18. Not anymore. The Democratic party is not for straight black men. It's not for straight men of any race. The Democratic party is for women and the LGBTLMNOP community. Will I be a Republican...probably not. But as a 38 year old professional black man, I have more in common with a white conservative man than I do with a white liberal man.

I used to debate conservatives all the time and they would always shut me up with CDC stats. When the stats say that over 70% of black kids are born to single mothers, you cant argue it. So I started to look at the stats more. And the stats show that almost 50% of black men are single with no kids. Another 27% are married. So there is about 25% - 30% (cross section of married men) of black men that are responsible for the 70% of black babies born out of wedlock. Before I read this, I thought that every black man had about 3 or 4 illegitimate kids but thats not the case. All I ever heard from black women is that black men "ain't shite".

Big government and feminism has destroyed the black family. The government came to black women and said that if you kick the black man out of the house, we will give you all of the benefits you need. This was in the 70s. They have been happily married every since. The Democratic party wont allow this marriage to end. They need votes from black women. In the 30s and 40s, black americans had a higher marriage rate than white americans. It wasnt until the late 60s and early 70s when welfare was introduced where a requirement was no man needed to be in the home.

There is a clear majority of black men that are doing the right thing. I thought I was the only single black man with no kids in my area, but we are half of the black male population. But there are these black women that have babies with a small pool of black men in exchange for that household and benefits. This needs to stop. Its a cycle that goes on for generations. I cant find a wife because damn near all of them have kids.

Black men have their problems too but they are mostly the result of being raised by a single mother. The Democratic party doesn't want to upset their most loyal base by telling these single mothers that they have to fend for themselves. This is exactly what they need. I no longer want to be a part of it.
