Liberal white women give them a pretty good run for their money


Difference being liberal white women are true believers in the batshit far left crazy crap. Black women just despise anything that could threaten their gubment check or gubment job, or put their chillrins under the authority of a white to include police and education.

Most white liberal women over the age of 55 will never change. They will always be Democrat… no matter what. A pollster recently said it goes back to the 60s and 70s… days of hippies, women’s lib, abortion, etc.

Black men don't like black women...I imagine the movement from them towards the GOP is short lived because I highly doubt the Dems will run a woman much less a black one again for another generation after a functionally braindead man beat Trump but two women couldn't.

For God’s sake, don’t let them become affluent.

Look what it did to white women.

The same with everyone. If a sizable amount start moving into the middle class or above, their views will begin to shift.

Black women are the most useless demographic on the planet. They dont even keep their men away from other races' women.

Then the solution is obvious. The GOP could make it illegal for black males to date white women. That would get us the black female vote.

On paper, Jasmine Crockett would seem like the type Republicans could try to win over but you see how she acts. I think it has to be an individual thing and a group strategy won't work.

Look at the people out protesting Tesla and most of them are this demo.

That's overwhelmingly what they are going to do with it. The total of the checks would still be a fairly small percentage of the overall total.

I could go either way on it. But either Trump or Elon stressed that giving a small part of the savings back to the people makes them feel like they have "skin in the game," too.

Either way. I'm rooting for Elon and the Geek Squad to keep finding this waste and fraud which had existed for decades.

Black people, particular southern black Baptists, actually lean conservative in views, but racism is an absolute nonstarter.
if black folks lean conservative as you are saying but then vote overwhelmingly democrat than they really have no idea what they’re voting for and just vote democrat because that’s what they’ve always done

there was a 35-point difference in how Black men voted in 2024 compared to 2020. While Black men voted for Harris in 2024 by a 47-point margin (71 percent Harris – 24 percent Trump),

The black men I work with have historically been lifelong plantation Democrats and in 2024 they either voted for Trump (most) or just sat it out (few). It's anecdotal and regional because this is rural Oklahoma we're talking about, but these men woke up during a disastrous Biden term. Biden hurt their wallets badly and it really pissed them off.

Black women are a different story. You're hard pressed to find a more politically monolithic group than black American women. And I don't understand it because especially among the GenX and Boomer generations, black women here of those ages are inherently very conservative. But the reverent down at South Baptist Church tells them that white Republican men will turn them into slaves, and they vote based on that.

True, but sadly I believe that woman will end up being filthy rich by continuing to play her phony role and scheming the system. But, perhaps educated black women* like her who don't stand to benefit from the corrupt political system can be won over as we go forward.

* I'm assuming that, by now, almost everybody has seen the video of her speaking normally (and well), and know that Crockett's little ghetto routine is just an act.

I've said this in other topics and I genuinely believe that the reason why black Americans are the only minority so shifted towards one party is due things that suggest middle-class membership such as home ownership.

Nothing makes a working class person align their politics with those who make vastly more money than them than giving them an asset with nearly perpetual appreciation in value.

The reason we see this is because of how integrating black people into society went after the Civil War. The US government really should have given the freed men that 40 acres and a mule. They needed equal access to the near free real estate grabs that seeded generations of wealth accumulation for many white people (Homestead Act, etc). Also, the fact that we immediately ended the greenbacks and went back to specie-backed currency after the end of the Civil War despite the continued need for just printing money to rebuild the South for poor whites and the newly freed slaves was a big mistake too. Probably can blame pressure from the Bank of England on that one more than the GOP politicians of the time.

I do think a lot of the maladies of black America is due to unequal access to things that helped build the broad middle class. It is something that lingers and gets more expensive to address the further we get from their ancestor's emancipation. At this juncture, it is easy to understand why most would rather deny it than say "it's too expensive to right this wrong, sorry" because that makes you feel bad. I'm willing to admit it'd be too damn expensive to fix 160 years later, so they're just going to have to work harder than most to get into the middle class all while it is almost permanently contracting in this country. Dems da breaks...however that means that they're almost certainly never going to become a part of a constituency that broadly represents the interest of small holders and above.

I'm not quite a boomer and I have never in my life met a smart black woman. I've met some black women that weren't completely stupid but I've never met a single black woman who I considered objectively intelligent. I'm not saying they don't exist but they're fricking unicorns
