The Democratic Party continues to take for granted the African-American voters that always seem to show up for the Dems every election. As this video points out, the Democratic party is the, “…21st century plantation…”. It puzzles me why the black vote goes to the Dems when it’s obvious that most black communities are based around their local churches.

It puzzles me....
Perhaps because they like free stuff.
Michael Steele is an idiot. Put this guy in charge of the RNC instead.
I have as much hope of blacks voting for anyone other than obammy as I do American Jews voting for anyone else.
NONE.
Can we just have a party that wants Americans, and only people that consider themselves non hyphenated Americans, to vote for it? Leave this racial division crap to the Left....
I like Allen and I love what he had to say about Steele.
Here is a quick thought. Using the word “plantation” probably does not help us any with that demographic.
I think the rhetoric I often hear on this issue on the radio and in other places is counterproductive. I often hear that demographic talked about as a bunch of sheep who blindly vote against their own interest. While there is a lot of truth to that talking about it in that fashion is a very quick way to get people to stop listening to your message. Nobody likes to be called stupid. As I mentioned earlier the word plantation is a dumb one too. It just doesn’t make sense when wooing someone to compare voting preferences to a system where they found themselves slaves.
I think the best approach to blacks i’ve seen lately is with the abortion issue. There has been some good work in winning blacks over to the anti-abort side. Granted they still abort like crazy but its a good start.
I’ve told my black friends, all of whom vote democrat, that if the KKK had been in power in this country over the past 50 years they couldn’t have done a better job of setting out to destroy the black family and the prospects of black individuals than what has been done to them by liberalism and the democrat party.
They’ve chased the father out of the house, they’ve taken God out of the village square, they’ve destroyed the neighborhood schools, they’ve forced out manufacturing jobs, they’ve encouraged drug use and out-of-wedlock births and they’ve made the last three generations totally dependant on the kindness of the others.
They get angry when I say those things because the truth hurts.
It will be interesting to see how many blacks will vote for a conservative black. I don't see the black underclass being interested.
A large percentage will vote for the candidate who gives them goodies: affirmative action mandates, more government jobs (disproportionately filled by blacks) and more "social services" (disproportionately used by blacks).
sfl
I’ll say it 100 times more...blacks had civilization when Euros were wearing skins, living in huts, and naming their kids Grog.
Why they let the Democrat politicians BS them with the line that success is a white thing is beyond me.
