‘We’re Self-Interested’: The Growing Identity Debate in Black America

And the group has fiercely attacked the Democratic Party, urging black voters to abstain from voting for the next Democratic presidential nominee unless he or she produces a specific economic plan for the nation’s ADOS population.

Such tactics have led some to accuse the group of sowing division among African-Americans and engaging in a form of voter suppression not unlike the voter purges and gerrymandering efforts pushed by some Republicans.

Telling Blacks to vote for Dems unless we get an economic plan is a form of voter suppression, according to "some"...wow.

Anyway, good piece. It's late as hell, but more fair than I expected.

I'm not betting Trump will be productive in any area, least of all this one. I will just that say Blacks have not done a good job of making sure parties earn our vote.

He has been somewhat productive, he allowed me to change fields, work less hours, and maintain a lifestyle. But things are weird now, so he gets credit for the good and the bad.

It's not enough to cast a vote for him simply for that
