In 2018, black voters are finding out just what the hell they had to lose.
Nazis and Klansmen march openly and proudly, and hate crimes appear to be on the rise. Police killings of peopleespecially black peopleremain largely the same year to year, and this iteration of the Justice Department has largely abdicated any federal responsibility in reducing brutality. An infant-mortality crisis is tightening its grip on the most marginalized communities, and across many economic metricsfrom evictions, to generational wealth, to segregationdisparities are either stagnating or trending in the wrong direction. Fifty years after the Kerner Commissions report said the country was moving toward two societies, one black, one whiteseparate and unequal, the prophecy has been all but fully realized. As Americans head to the polls in primaries this year and prepare to do their civic duties this fall and in the fall of 2020, the 50 years of backlash against civil rights that helped fulfill that prediction might either be ratified or repudiated. Yet, in the middle of a nationwide conversation of diner visits and coal-miner profiles in service of understanding people who voted for President Trump and this regime, theres been remarkably little analysis of the demographic that voted against him almost entirely. What drives and motivates black citizens to vote, and is simply being anti-Trump enough to get them out this fall?
A new poll due to be released by the independent political organization BlackPAC sheds light on the motivations of black voters. Conducted by former Obama and DNC pollster and strategist Cornell Belcher and his firm, Brilliant Corners Research & Strategies, the poll of 1,000 black voters in the battleground states of Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan, North Carolina, Illinois...

There was a rally down in Georgia with around 100 Nazis a few weeks ago. In listening to the left, they made it sound like another Nuremburg rally.
That’s generous! Black males age 15-35 are only 3% or so. All that crime belongs to them alone.
...or never get married and just work steadily and live within/below their means things will work out, financially anyway.
Interesting observation on the regional difference. I don’t know one way or the other.
But I know turnout is the key.
Doesn’t seem that blacks have much enthusiasm for 2018 midterms. For Democrat victory in 2020 it is necessary (but not sufficient) to get them out to vote. That’ll take a black candidate IMO.
ML/NJ
Nazis and Klansmen (some of each of those âgroupsâ being undercover FBI agents acting as provocateurs) AND Communists AND black nationalists ALL marching âproudlyâ.
Didn't some DA say he wasn't going to prosecute jumpers any more?
The premise is bullsh!t. Why post this democrat crap?
Illegal Mexicans don’t qualify for Medicaid. They have the highest rate of no health insurance. And these Mexicans have the lowest rate of infant and maternal mortality ... better than whites, whose rate is better than Asians whose rate is better than Blacks, whose rate is better than Native Americans.
But Blacks on Medicaid have by far the highest infant and maternal mortality rate.
So the solution? Achieve equality by expanding Medicaid to all Blacks and Hispanics and eventually to everyone in the US.
Translaves - born free, self-identifying as slaves.
Black voters want the same things other Americans want.
All has been available for a long time, but one has to learn and to work to fulfill those wants.
This has nothing to do with race. There are wide swaths of WHITE America dealing with the same thing. Donald Trump is president today because his message resonated with a lot of them.
According to NYTimes, there were about 2 dozen “Nazis” at the Georgia rally.
racist propagandists.
The problem with many black Americans is that they are black first and American second.
Why did you post this?
We all know several really fine black people who exemplify better values than most of our white companions. <<<<<
You got that right!....but I believe the Author calls them “Uncle Toms”....
He may be getting worried that white people are starting not to care about what race hustlers say.
