Blacks are now majority voice of conservatism in Democrat Party

You mean moderate?

Blacks are a reliably socially conservative bunch but very economically liberal. The biggest problem is that they don’t think for themselves. They always fall victim to groupthink.

Yeah kinda but you don't really hear about moderate movements associated with political parties, just liberal or conservative movements.

Blacks are waking up the Democrats plantation mentality.

More Black people are employed now than ever before. They see those tax chunks taken out of their check.

Then Democrats openly promote higher taxes.

In my experience they often vote against their beliefs.

This will become more evident if Bernie wins the nomination and Obama backs him to beat OMB.

This LBJ? A quote from his biography written by Doris Goodwin:

quote:

---

These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.

I've never figured out to this day why the blacks think so much of this man after reading something like that.

I definitely don't care about other white people struggling to get by.

A black friend I’ve been (relatively) close with for nearly 25 years has a steady job for the first time since I’ve known him, and has for the past 18 months. He’s even developing (legit) side-businesses. This is a guy who was shady much of his life and did time for selling drugs. But he’s working 40+/week at a job he likes, supporting his family better than he ever did the other way.

He hates Trump. Has no idea why.

I’m going to have a talk with him before November and he’ll make the right choice for America (if he can’t vote due to record, I’ll convince him to convince family and friends). If he is eloquent enough in explaining it to his family or wherever was feeding him the BS he’d spout off to me that was so far from reality that I just declined to offer any reply. I changed the topic to sports, just wasn’t feeling up to it that day.

I’m in a good position right now to not just sway his voting preferences by exposing him
to truth and exposing lies on TV and in papers. I’m actually really good at that — explaining political realities in general, like scary good. If I were a politician I’d be afraid of myself ever rising to top office.

I’m gonna get involved this cycle and do my part to make sure Trump wins the black vote in my district this November (he’ll win LA anyway, end game is to help Trump to turn them
Anti-Democrat by exposing them to actual democrat policy and Trump’s record in contrast to dem policy.

I’ve become close with everyone from the street dealer to the preacher in that community. They’re still anti-Trump (mostly), but I personally like my odds. Plan is to get a couple in each sub-demographic to buy in and spread the message.

I can’t make this following statement because even though in demographic terms (looking only at numbers, past strategies and past results) the statement is 100% true, the strategy will work for the exact reasons I can’t say, and even though people of all races study this stuff for a living, if I said it my comments would be forever (intentionally and intellectually dishonestly) distorted and misconstrued. The statement has to do with Machismo and getting people within the community to spread the good message. It assumes those spreading the message are persuaded to do so via one-on-one conversations that respectfully plant seeds of thought that grow into people whose brains have been liberated. Draw your own conclusions about the redacted statement.

What's frustrating is old school quasi conservative black democrats haven't accepted the reality the Democrat party doesn't represent their quasi conservative values/morals. It's time for Black Americans to come on home to the Republican Party.....it's way past time.
