4.4 million 2012 Obama voters stayed home in 2016 — more than a third of them black

[bzb]

suppressing the black vote is part of what russian trolls and white supremacist trolls masquerading as black people were trying to do.

pushing that "they're the same" "super predator" "clinton drug law" "don't vote" story line to disenfranchise black voters and get them to stay home.

combine voter suppression tactics and illegal gop gerrymandering and they may have successfully impacted enough black votes to put trump over the top. i agree hillary was an easy target as a flawed and damaged candidate.

that said, this article doesn't explicitly blame black people for trump winning, but it makes a strong suggestion of it. i can't accept that when all those white women are marching around the country, but know damn well they voted for trump. now they have buyer's remorse and want to share the blame. nah, kaitlyn, this one is on you.

Black people must be fukking gawd in America because it seems like we are responsible for everything...

 

[ADevilYouKhow]

We have to vote and be active because the gop has an outsized weight they chose to target us with.

 

[wickedsm]

Remember who was pushing "Don't Vote" on here?

Put em on the summer jam screen breh

Yeah, it's everybody's fault except the people who actually voted for Trump.

It was a popular sentiment in The Locker Room. Those posters only show up in Higher Learning after somebody mentions that TLR is full of idiots. You don't even have to @ them. They only appear to say "this is a democrat circle jerk."

 

[truth2you]

That seems like a stretch here.

If you didn't vote and you aren't happy with the current administration it is your fault regardless of your race or gender.

Maybe I'm seeing the wrong news, but didn't he win from electoral college, and lose the popular vote?

And even if I'm wrong, this is what you want, Democrates took us for suckers, now this would put a fire under their ass.

This is how you supposed to play the game, I'm confused how people don't understand this. When your chick is mad at you, she hold sex back, right? Why would you keep voting for people who aren't listening to your complaints, except when election comes around, and you keep voting for them?

I'm proud of black people for not being scared into some bullshyt, which is what they were trying to do, and it backfired on them, all that talk of Trump just amped up people wanting him in office!

oh.
youre another one of those.

It's called playing the game with logic, not emotions. If black people thought like yall, we would still be in Jim Crow! There were black people just like yall talking about how things gonna get worse if we complain, and don't play the game like the system wants us to. Blacks in Montgomery boycotted the bus for whole year, and said "fukk yall if you keep shytting on us". That changed everything for them, and helped start a whole movement. My people were not scary nikkas

Think for the future, not just now, because tomorrow WILL come!

BTW, I notice you didn't refute what I wrote. Did he win by electoral college or popular vote?

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

So ~1.5M black votes, even if we just attribute them to the "blue" states that went red in 2016, that have sizable black populations - PA, OH, WI, MI, NC, (maybe WI)...that's no where near enough to get her the win across all those states. stop blaming this on black people

 

[Broke Wave]

It’s Bernie’s fault

Yep definitely a moron or a cac or a bot. People like you are dangerous and should never be taken seriously

 

[ThatTruth777]

can anybody remember what issues were mentioned specifically for black people in order to energize their vote?

They said the same thing about the black panthers, civil rights movement, Malcolm X, Maritn Luther King Jr., the n.o.i., and in the late 80's I heard the same thing about the return of the black power movement. If it weren't for those movements you would still be in Jim Crow, getting your hair fried, dyed, and laid to the side, still saying "pork aint never hurt nobody, my grandmother lived to a hundred years old", and knowing nothing about history besides being a descendant of ham, and still voting republican, saying "I aint from no damn Africa, I'm native american" while never being allowed on the reservation or getting some of that money. lol

You aint saying nothing new
