Black Voters Propelled Blue Wave, Study Finds

African-Americans increasingly associate GOP with Trump, racist rhetoric

Democratic wins in the 2018 midterms were driven largely by African American voters — particularly black women — who increasingly associate the GOP with President Trump’s perceived hostility toward people of color and immigrants, according to an analysis released Monday.

The report by the NAACP, the racial justice nonprofit Advancement Project, and the political action group African American Research Collaborative found that across competitive elections 90 percent of black voters supported Democratic House candidates, compared to 53 percent of voters overall. It also found 91 percent of black women, 86 percent of black men and 50 percent of white voters believe Trump and the GOP are using toxic rhetoric to divide the nation.

“This poll dispels the myth of black voter apathy,” said Judith Browne Dianis, Advancement Project executive director. “Clearly black voters are not only engaged, but they are central to the resistance against Trumpism.”

BS. There was no bluewave. There was only a white wave of provisional ballots being found after the election.

Racists but that’s ok. There is no one more racist but we can’t say that or it’s considered a positive.

Yeah I am sure this Black Wave theory fully explains how the Repubs lost every congressional district in Orange County, California. Nothing to do with gerrymandering, vote counting shenanigans, or illegal voting by illegal aliens.

Democrats would be just about nothing without black votes.

What you said. And the corrupt, partisan media know this. And that’s why they insist on perpetuating this narrative.

90 percent of black voters supported Democratic House candidates,

Wow. Trump really did cut into their base. Normal black support for Democrat candidates is around 95%. Trump increased black support of Republicans by 5%.

This article is very misleading. 90% is a REDUCTION of their previous support level.

Not really, considering who did the poll: “The report by the NAACP, the racial justice nonprofit Advancement Project, and the political action group African American Research Collaborative found...”

Sounds more to me like this is a “We’re important, dammit! Pay attention to us!” moment to me.

Based on exit polling. We know people lie to pollsters.

Even worse we will be gaslighted again and again with “Blacks are gonna vote GOP this time!” It’s all so tedious.

Blacks keep voting against themselves. The Dems will find new a way to bring more illegals to the country and one day soon, if not already, Blacks will find themselves below Hispanics in the party hierarchy.

Only approximately 50% of US Citizens pay income taxes. The other 50% need to make sure of their income stream and benefits.

The REAL ‘blue wave’ was the post-election fraud.

Urban prison pardons will only push away shakey Trump supporters, even a few solid ones.

Propelled by obvious voter fraud.

Claire Wolfe was right.

I hope all those blacks have 401Ks so they can see what they reaped.

My image of black women is driven by two faces in particular. Mad Maxine, and the multitudes of black faces presented on Jerry Springer, Maury Povich and Steve Wilkos.

You know, the black holes of our society, that tell us they are 3,000 percent sure that the next guy that comes in for DNA testing is the father of her children. The other 4 who came on the shows in the past for this, new rite of passage, were just flings the young Mother of 18 had in her yoot.

The”THAS MY MAN” epidemic, that is sure to bring in peace love and harmony, just like in South Africa. It is bringing in something, as these literal morons dominate society.

Am I saying that one race is brighter than another, you betcha. As surely as Asians and Jews have a slight edge in intelligence over Caucasians.

The indigenous of Africa, Australia, and the Americas are fully 20 IQ points below Americas historic norms. That is fine, except someone in this country wants them imported at rates that will overwhelm our formerly stable society. We see this within the Democrat party and their voting base.

We are on the fast track to South African status. Us honkies will see our “whiteness” erased from this Continent. The wheels are already in motion. In short, if you are not a minority, such as LGBTQ, trans or “colored” you are evil and you are on the way out.

But on how many fraudulent ballots. I refuse to call them ‘votes’ since manufactured fill-ins are not made by a legitimate citizen on a one man/woman-one vote basis.

The 90 % number is misleading and counts only in a presidential race.

For house races, many districts are gerrymandered to capture the majority black vote. In urban disrticts black voters predominate beyond the 90% level.
