A Generational Rift is Developing in the Black Electorate
PJ Media ^ | August 18, 2019 | Rick Moran

Posted on 08/18/2019 10:34:53 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

There's a developing rift between younger and older black voters that could affect the 2020 presidential race and beyond. CNN:

Overall, our last three CNN polls have Biden at 44% among black voters. No one else is anywhere close; Harris is in second at 14%. Biden's big league advantage in these polls is similar to the Fox News poll.

However, Biden's standing drops to 36% among black voters under the age of 50. This is lower than the 51% he has among black voters aged 50 and older.

This is not to suggest younger black voters would vote for Trump in any great numbers. But there is a definite lack of enthusiasm for Biden among blacks under the age of 30:

Our model suggests that Biden's support probably drops to below 30% among voters under the age of 30. It also suggests that the former vice president's support is likely closer to 60% among black voters age 70 and older. That is, his support probably doubles between the youngest and oldest Democrats.

They’re in the wings, but now they need to get up on stage and start running for office.

And Candace Owens should deliver the keynote address at 2020’s RNC Convention.

DJT has delivered economic progress to Blacks, Latinos, Asians and Whites. And this has eased racial tensions.

Obama may have liked by Blacks out of racial solidarity, he did not deliver any economic progress — he delivered economic retrenchment, which increased racial tensions.

The way I read that article the younger blacks are getting more radical.

That may help break up the Demoncrat party but it just makes civil war or race wars more likely in the long run.

Or John James from Michigan. He's running for U.S. Senate against Gary Peters.

Who’s in the wings?

Even more radical people? :)

They’re NOT more conservative.

They are much more radical.

There’s no boom of black young republicans heading our way.

I don’t see how lower support for Biden is perceived as good here.

It means that those under 50 and especially those under 30 are rooting for an even MORE INSANELY leftist candidate.

I read the article and don’t see how it quite says that. I can see how that’s inferred since Biden’s opponents are mostly communists, but the article seems to suggest that they don’t really prefer anybody after him.

(NFL LINEBACKER) Asked Trump to Call Out Cummings Over Baltimore (concerns about black kids raised)
townhall.com ^ | Aug 15, 2019 | Leah Barkoukis / Posted on 08/17/2019 6:03:23 AM PDT by Liz

Former NFL Linebacker and businessman Jack Brewer and Trump.

President Trump’s criticism of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) over the living conditions in Baltimore were reportedly brought up at the request of former NFL linebacker Jack Brewer. "I had a chance to meet with President Trump, and I told him please call out Elijah Cummings and Baltimore. I asked him to do that three weeks ago and he did it," the former NFL linebacker said on Fox Nation’s “Deep Dive.”

Brewer explained he was motivated to reach out to Trump after a visit to Baltimore. “I'm seeing these kids that don't have any core, no culture within them. They don't have anyone teaching them or training them," he said. Brewer, who went on to a successful business career after his playing days, blames the politicians in Baltimore for focusing only on "issues that help them raise money," instead of the issues plaguing the "poor black kids whose parents are not donating to their PACs and funds."

Brewer called out Cummings directly for being "front and center" when it's politically convenient and questioned his lack of action in his own city. Referencing the two horrific mass shootings this past weekend that took 31 lives, he questioned why the 51 people shot in Baltimore and Chicago the same weekend went unnoticed. "We look and see all the hype over El Paso, my heart goes out to them, my heart goes out to Dayton, Ohio. But the same weekend, 51 people were shot between Chicago and Baltimore and no one says anything and these are the same lives." (FoxNews.com)

President Trump recently called out Cummings’ disrespect of Border Patrol agents while drawing attention to the conditions in Baltimore. “Rep. Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA,” the president tweeted.

"His district is considered the Worst in the USA. As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming[s'] District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place."

Trump added: "Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen?" Trump added. "Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!"

You must have missed this: “As for the general election, a lack of intensity among younger black voters could easily cost the Democratic nominee the election. The younger generation has proved itself to be more independent, more liberal, and not as content to accept the status quo as their elders.”

"As for the general election, a lack of intensity among younger black voters could easily cost the Democratic nominee the election."

That is _exactly_ what happened to Hillary in 2016.

The polls assumed black turnout for Hillary would be the same as it was for Obama. They were wrong.

Older blacks will accept white liberals who keep the gravy train moving.

Younger blacks want black candidates and don't trust any white candidates.

What sucks is that blacks are now being ‘educated’ in black-pride and other crap to get them to hate whites. Very similar to how Palestinians are ‘educated’ to hate The Jew.

Unless that crap is stopped, there is no way things can end peacefully.

Naw, it’s a blessing as they regroup after integration... those who want to learn will and those who do not will be clearly be at an educational deficit. Heck will the correct amount of racially policing (no law enforce) the entire premise will collapse.
