Inclusive of other people that will vote like them. Become the majority, simple as that

I thought I could recite every single line of that film, by rote.
I was wrong.
Today is a good day for learnin’.

I'm reminded of my good friend in high school whose parents were first-generation immigrants from Jamaica. They placed a heavy emphasis on school and he was a straight-A student. The guy was completely tortured by basically every other black person in the school which really had an affect on me.

I thought to myself. How sad is it that if you're a black man in America you basically are caught between one of two choices. Either agree with everyone around you who shares your race or be considered a complete Outcast among the people that look like you.

I thought at the time that it was no insignificant thing

A white kid in school could find a home and some click or grouping of kids where there would at least be some with his own background that looked like him.

And given the reality that there is racism still I thought how fricked up is it that if you're a black kid who doesn't want to be part of the group think your only real option was to have only white friends.

My friend was one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. His crimes? He spoke very good English because it was important to his parents and he was smart as frick

For that alone he got called Oreo and was told that he acted White

There probably were other black kids who were willing to be as friend but they couldn't be because if they tried they got annihilated by the group

Being like you in this world takes balls of steel

What has the Democratic Party done for blacks?

Almost every inner city is run by democratic politicians and they are disasters

That's whataboutism. The question was: Why should blacks consider voting Republican?

A person’s skin color should be wholly irrelevant to their voting pattern

It is racist to think that because someone is black, they can’t vote for Reps

Or because someone is white, they cannot vote for dems

Democrats have been complicit in the war on drugs

Bill Clinton signed the 3 strike law and extended the war

Agreed, which is why I said it would be a great start

Why should blacks consider voting Republican?

For the exact same reasons non-blacks should.

Awesome black folks fought their entire lives to rise above racism and stupid generalizations......and here you are.

Has it ever occurred to you that some black folks, like white folks would rather be free from the chains of racial politics?

The problem with you progs is the fricking hive mentality, you dont see people as individuals, you see them as a collective and it's because you've been conditioned by social engineers to rest in the safety of the hive and totally forget that people, not black or white, are individuals first.
