Stephen A. Smith: Black Americans Should Stop Viewing GOP as ‘The Enemy’

[Bilz]

I guess it makes sense if you ignore the fact that republicans DO NOT GIVE A shyt about the fact that they get none of the black vote. Republicans would literally rather lose than do anything to attract those votes. Besides, he's not trying to get people to vote republican so democrats are forced to do more for the vote, he's simply trying to get people to vote republican because thanks to his fame and wealth, that's the party that works for him now.

Have the democrats ever brought forth a policy that will specifically benefit the black community and only the black community?

Most of what they claim to push for is always geared toward all minorities, which means the Jews and White women(I have no idea how the hell they are included as a minority given they make up the largest U.S demographic) will get the majority of the benefits, while everyone else settles for the scraps.

this is a deflection. if i'm asking what should motivate me to vote republican, your answer shouldn't be "but what about the democrats"

If you are swinging votes to the GOP just to teach the Democrats a lesson why should you give a shyt about their actions? Hell the Democrats do boneheaded shyt too. Use these bums just like they use us. Sending a message won't kill us nor them. Man, and I don't mean any disrespect, but sometimes it really is like these dudes have us on a plantation. Kats have more excuses than somebody going to jail when you talk about rebelling even in it's simplest form. shyt is amazing.

The reason you dont just do it to teach them a lesson is because voting for repubs is not just based on what say on fox news about us is the policies they are trying to adopt.

Because I'm not trying to risk Donald Trump being president just to "teach dems a lesson".

Bof parties on dat bullshyt but imma be dayumed if imma rock wit da one who has done nothin but shat on and flagrantly dismissed da issues/concerns/voices of mah people.

Real talk.

They just direspectful about it and, have shytty leadership/policies but, we should just all vote them

Why have black started there own party yet?

They did in the 60's and 70's but they were wiped out by the FBI.

Also, as far as black people are concerned, local politics should matter just as much, if not more, than general politics.

It's not a deflection. I'm no promoter of the republican party or any particular political party. My point is, if you feel no motivation to vote for republicans on the basis that they offer nothing that will specifically benefit the black community, should you also feel no inclination to support democrats on the same principle?

I guess I'm trying to understand the allegiance blacks have to the Democratic party.

maybe if republicans weren't so flamboyantly racist, black people would give them votes.

why would a black person with any pride for himself or his people align themselves with people who put it out there that they HATE YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE.

even worst when you have media outlets like fox news and people like bill o'reilly as spokesman for the republican party.

it almost forces black people to vote democrat (fukk them too) because it's simply the lesser of two evils.

it's not a hard relationship to figure out. liberals feign interest in black issues. where as the republican party treats blacks like we're their mortal enemies. take bernie sanders for example, he laid out a pretty good platform to help combat black issues, pertaining to police brutality. meanwhile, ALL republican nominees don't see police brutality as an issue worth addressing--they're too busy talking about "taking america back"

 

[General Mills]

Im not saying vote republican if you do not agree. But fukk giving the democrats our automatic votes. It's bullshyt. They shuck n jive for us around election time.... Then at us when they get elected.

 

[Self_Born7]

the whole fukking system is our enemy!

I guess that's understandable. However, I would think we would have arrived at a point by now where we wouldn't keep falling for the same dog and pony show in every election. But I digress...
