This post perfectly demonstrates why Democratics don’t respect us & don’t feel any pressure from us

Let’s imagine two young children born in the late 1960s in the United States, one black and one white. In 1974, the official poverty rate for all children under age 18 was 15.4 percent. Behind those numbers, we see that the black child was four times more likely to experience poverty than the white child.

Forty years later, the child poverty rate is higher than it was in 1974 (21.1 percent), and a black child in 2014 is still three times more likely to be in poverty than a white child. In most years over the last four decades, at least one-third of black children were living in poverty. Poverty is not an equal opportunity experience.
Two American experiences: The racial divide of poverty

facts are true regardless if you believe them

But There only been 2 centrist Dems since the days of Jimmy Carter (Clinton and Obama)

Everything else Was Reagan, Bush Sr, Bush Jr, and Trump.

Yeah, Clinton especially did black folk foul with the crime bill, but we still feeling the shocks from Reagan decades later. Even Obama was trying to correct the ills from the Clinton administration, but that takes times to pass legislation in Congress. They passed a watered down version from Trump.

But kill the narrative of Dems were in control of America for 5 decades. Cause that's factually not true. Outside of some black cities, Republicans were holding offices in state level positions for far longer.

Democrats were lazy and a lot of times took the black vote for granted, yes, but keep the same energy when the Republicans do the same thing. Once (closet) snake doesn't excuse the wolf from doing dirt openly.

This is what i assume some of ya'll are really saying when you criticize my quote in the OP. and i honestly feel like this is worse.

The alternative being the greater of two evils approach? If there is a available third option, i would be happily educated.

This exactly. I don't understand how people can say the lesser of two evils approach doesn't work, but then endorse an approach that appears to be "stay at home and do nothing" or "post a lot online." The lesser of two evils approach for sure is not the best, but it's better than checking out completely.

If you're going to the polls and voting for a third party candidate, writing someone in etc then OK I understand.
If you're just refusing to vote at all then

A lot of these people won't even vote in their local elections.

if black ppl fought for economic investment in the black community instead of the integration banana in the tailpipe the liberals gave us we would be better off.

We did that with black wallstreet. It got blowned to the sky because the lack of LAWS and regulations. We need economics and political action to get the job done. Economics alone without political involvement will end up another Black Wallstreet to get blown up. Voting without an agenda or specific plans creates complacency for both black voters and Democratic leaders.

 

[Luke Cage]

Then who should we vote for and why is that person the right candidate? Not like everything was "perfectly fine" for black folks when previous presidents were in office.

So please tell me who should black people vote for and why?

My attitude is : If you can't vote for someone, then vote against someone. I'll vote against the candidate i hate the most.

You are only showing your Ignorance on American history. Economic investment has always been the thing black people faught for. Only modern hoteps pretend the black folks literally dying for rights only wanted the privilege to drink out of white water fountains.

That’s what the cacs taught you about your history

This is what Primary season is supposed to be about. Be up front and ride for the candidates that you trust to put your interests highest up the priorities list. Be vocal about what policies are winning you over and keep the pressure on. But just to throw it in, I'm a Puerto Rican fan of coalition concepts, I think the more we form a large voting bloc the more pressure we can exert to extract results for everyone...now how we get everyone on the same page is an uphill battle, but building platforms that PoC can unite behind as better than anything we've had offered before isn't hard. Warren's not as far left as I'd like and her platforms aren't perfect, but for example the Housing bill at least acknowledges Redlining and makes it officially an issue that still needs to be addressed. It's a conversation starter and after seeing what happened with Bernie proposals like M4A and 15 dollar minimum wage gaining traction and becoming must support concepts in less than 4 years time, I put more importance on that than any time before.

Why are we talking like Kamala's in the general election tho?

She is already DONE. Why are people acting like she is gaining new supporters.....I dunno.....but she burning all kinds of bridges with the black community and Dems in general.....She gonna be next to Howard Shultz soon

That also happened because we weren't in a defensive position or prepared for that type of agitation or physical confrontation. Complacency - we weren't anticipating that type of assault. The complacency in thinking - if we leave them alone, they will leave us alone and let us be. Never works that way. They will always try to infringe, no laws or policies that can protect us from that, only in theory. We have to set the groundwork for responding to that type of confrontation. You have Johnny Rebel Cac armed up with guns and weapons, multiplied in numbers- BlackWall Street was symbolic of a race war, not a riot. The town was destroyed in less than 24hrs. As usual, we weren't thinking about them, busy establishing our businesses, education, finances and yet, they were plotting on us, for no reason, other than us being threats to their white status quo because we were gaining power.

Yeah, I look at these 'socialist' things as stepping stones for black folk. Not a final destination. Building blocks to have our own society and to be top of the food chain in any society on earth. Economics alone isn't the end all to be all, as some are thinking. It starts with that, but it branches out to politics, policies from those politics from politicians that have our backs, and military building. The Dems are the lesser of 2 evils, but black folk think that the Democratic party is the final destination, which it ain't. Its a stepping stone. Black folk should be building when there isn't an outright racist climate like the Trump era. The key is to build military might like a larger version of the Black Panther Party when the liberals are in power and distracted with their issues, instead of celebrating with their weak selves. That way, we can build another BWS undercover WITH the might of the new Black Panther party, and only continue from there.

Democrats have been in control of cities with large black populations the last 5 decades and we see the results.

You mean cities with a Republican governor that constant block aid and bills from black mayors from black cities? ATL is a perfect example.

I understand this breh, I just can't stand phony people.. I supported Berne because I felt like he was honest, I support Warren and even somewhat AOC because at least they telling theor truth and they are real at the end of the day..

BUT with Kamala, it feels like a pre packaged phony opportunist and I would rather anything else but her.
That's just me though
