Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote

[blastoff]

Yeah, especially black Cubans.

 

[Freewill]

The truth is that black America did much better under Reagan than they ever did under a Clinton.

Now the left will argue that Trump will be even worse. I assume that is much like what the democrats told the black man when Sherman was marching through the south.

Isn't it time to stop rewarding failure because we are afraid of a different direction? Mrs. Tulza Clinton is a proven liar, a prove failure and is in poor health.

I am not saying that the only alternative to Mrs. Tulza is voting for Trump but to vote for Mrs. Tulza is just a vote to maintain the status quo. Does anyone think that a good idea?

From the crime bill to welfare reform, policies Bill Clinton enacted—and Hillary Clinton supported—decimated black America.

Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote

She may be surprised to discover that the younger generation no longer wants to play her game. Or maybe not. Maybe we’ll all continue to play along and pretend that we don’t know how it will turn out in the end. Hopefully, one day, we’ll muster the courage to join together in a revolutionary movement with people of all colors who believe that basic human rights and economic, racial, and gender justice are not unreasonable, pie-in-the-sky goals. After decades of getting played, the sleeping giant just might wake up, stretch its limbs, and tell both parties: Game over. Move aside. It’s time to reshuffle this deck.

Time to get out of your Pretend World ~ Ronald Reagan did nothing for the Black Communities...geeezzz

During their eight years in the White House, Reagan and his appointees waged a well-documented, highly public war against civil rights leaders and did everything in their political power to roll back civil rights gains. That war began months before Reagan entered the White House. At his infamous presidential kick-off campaign rally at Neshoba, Miss., in 1980, held virtually a stone’s throw from where three civil rights workers were murdered in 1964, Reagan shouted to an all-white crowd: “I believe in states’ rights.” He laced that speech—and many others during his campaign—with racial code words and phrases, blasting welfare, big government, and rampant federal spending. The message was that if elected, he would not only say and do as little as possible to offend the white South, he would work to actively undermine civil rights.

Ronald Reagan Was No Friend to Blacks - New America Media

Blacks did better during Reagan, time for you to forget partisan BS.

The good that Reagan did for black America

Indeed, Andrew Brimmer, the Harvard-trained black economist, the former Federal Reserve Board member, estimated that total black business receipts increased from $12.4 billion in 1982 to $18.1 billion in 1987, translating into an annual average growth rate of 7.9 percent (compared to 5 percent for all U.S. businesses.

The success of the black entrepreneurial class during the Reagan era was rivaled only by the gains of the black middle class.

In fact, black social scientist Bart Landry estimated that that upwardly mobile cohort grew by a third under Reagan's watch, from 3.6 million in 1980 to 4.8 million in 1988. His definition was based on employment in white-collar jobs as well as on income levels.

All told, the middle class constituted more than 40 percent of black households by the end of Reagan's presidency, which was larger than the size of black working class, or the black poor.

The impressive growth of the black middle class during the 1980s was attributable in no small part to the explosive growth of jobs under Reagan, which benefited blacks disproportionately.

Indeed, between 1982 and 1988, total black employment increased by 2 million, a staggering sum. That meant that blacks gained 15 percent of the new jobs created during that span, while accounting for only 11 percent of the working-age population.

Meanwhile, the black jobless rate was cut by almost half between 1982 and 1988. Over the same span, the black employment rate – the percentage of working-age persons holding jobs – increased to record levels, from 49 percent to 56 percent.

The black executive ranks especially prospered under Reagan. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reported that the number of black managers and officers in corporations with 100 or more employees increased by 30 percent between 1980 and 1985.

During the same period, the number of black professionals increased by an astounding 63 percent.

The burgeoning of the black professional, managerial and executive ranks during the 1980s coincided with a steady growth of the black student population at the nation's colleges and universities in the 1980s.

Even though the number of college-aged blacks decreased during much of the decade, black college enrollment increased by 100,000 between 1980 and 1987, according to the Census Bureau.

Meanwhile, the 1980s saw an improvement in the black high school graduation rate, as the proportion of blacks 18 to 24 years old earning high school diplomas increased from 69.7 percent in 1980 to 76 percent by 1987.

On balance, then, the majority of black Americans made considerable progress in the 1980s.

More of us stayed in high school, graduated and went on to college. More of us were working than ever before, in better jobs and for higher wages.

The black middle class burgeoned to unprecedented size, emerging as the dominant income group in black America. And black business flourished, creating wealth in the black community.

Reps. Owens, Wynn and Watson may think that all of those wondrous developments were simply happenstance.

But the credit goes to Ronald Reagan, who initiated the policies that fostered the economic growth and job creation of the 1980s, which produced the prosperity that most black Americans enjoyed.

The crime bills & welfare reform bills under Clinton were REPUBLICAN legislation that Bill Clinton was practically forced to sign.

I do not understand what the op is trying to say.

How does a president get "forced" to sign something? The truth is, whatever he signed HE signed and if he didn't sign something because he was a balless wonder that just makes him all the worst of presidents. He is definitely the worse president during my life time.

 

[Freewill]

black people who support hillary are insulted by your simpleton partisan insinuations, as if they are just too dumb to know which candidate stands for their own best interest...

You mean that the super predators have been made to heel? I just present facts what they wish to believe or do with those facts are up to them. If they wish to support a person who called them super predators that's their business. IF blacks were going to get upset about insinuation about their ability to think. One would think they would be upset by democrats continually saying that blacks are too stupid, lazy or whatever to get to a voting booth or get a photo id.

Political positions of Ronald Reagan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Minorities[edit]
Reagan did not support many civil rights bills throughout the years.[36] He opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964[37] and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson.[36] In 1982 he signed a bill extending the Voting Rights Act for 25 years after a grass-roots lobbying and legislative campaign forced him to abandon his plan to ease that law's restrictions.[38] In 1988 he vetoed the Civil Rights Restoration Act, but his veto was overridden by Congress. Reagan had argued that the legislation infringed on states' rights and the rights of churches and business owners.[39]

Reagan did not consider himself a racist, and dismissed any attacks aimed at him relating to racism as attacks on his personal character and integrity.[36]

There are critics who claim that Reagan gave his 1980 presidential campaign speech, about states' rights,[40] in Philadelphia, Mississippi. This also happens to be the place where three civil rights workers were killed in 1964.[41] However, despite the critics' claims, Reagan had actually given it at the Neshoba County Fair, in the unincorporated community of Neshoba, Mississippi, seven miles away. It was a popular campaigning spot, as presidential candidates John Glenn and Michael Dukakis both campaigned there as well.[42][43]

He also said (while campaigning in Georgia) that Confederate President Jefferson Davis was "a hero of mine."[44] However, Reagan was offended that some accused him of racism.[44] In 1980, Reagan said the Voting Rights Act was "humiliating to the South",[45] although he later supported extending the Act.[46] He opposed Fair Housing legislation in California (the Rumford Fair Housing Act),[47] but in 1988 signed a law expanding the Fair Housing Act of 1968.[48] Reagan was unsuccessful in trying to veto another civil rights bill in March of the same year.[49] Reagan engaged a policy of Constructive engagement with South Africa in spite of apartheid due to the nation being a valuable anti-communist ally, opposing pressure from Congress and his own party for tougher sanctions until his veto was overridden.[50] Reagan opposed the Martin Luther King holiday at first, and signed it only after an overwhelming veto-proof majority (338 to 90 in the House of Representatives and 78 to 22 in the Senate) voted in favor of it.[51] Congress overrode Reagan's veto of the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1988.[49][52] Reagan said the Restoration Act would impose too many regulations on churches, the private sector, and state and local governments.[53]

I had him for Governor, it was the start of the beginning of the end with education / mental health here in California ,we were high ranking in the 60's , 70's.. .This is why you see so many homeless on the streets from the Vietnam war , unlike the mentally ill PTS from WWII who America took care of.... He also loved tree's did you know that...? No, he hated them and just about cut down the whole redwood forest of northern California thinking that they caused pollution.

I actually watched a mini-series of Reagan on line when his wife died last week.. I feel the guy was not a hateful man, I do feel some in his party took advantage of him after he was shot / maybe Alzheimer's and the missiles to Iran program was born.

The truth is that black America did much better under Reagan than they ever did under a Clinton.

Now the left will argue that Trump will be even worse. I assume that is much like what the democrats told the black man when Sherman was marching through the south.

Isn't it time to stop rewarding failure because we are afraid of a different direction? Mrs. Tulza Clinton is a proven liar, a prove failure and is in poor health.

I am not saying that the only alternative to Mrs. Tulza is voting for Trump but to vote for Mrs. Tulza is just a vote to maintain the status quo. Does anyone think that a good idea?

From the crime bill to welfare reform, policies Bill Clinton enacted—and Hillary Clinton supported—decimated black America.

Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote

She may be surprised to discover that the younger generation no longer wants to play her game. Or maybe not. Maybe we’ll all continue to play along and pretend that we don’t know how it will turn out in the end. Hopefully, one day, we’ll muster the courage to join together in a revolutionary movement with people of all colors who believe that basic human rights and economic, racial, and gender justice are not unreasonable, pie-in-the-sky goals. After decades of getting played, the sleeping giant just might wake up, stretch its limbs, and tell both parties: Game over. Move aside. It’s time to reshuffle this deck.

Time to get out of your Pretend World ~ Ronald Reagan did nothing for the Black Communities...geeezzz

During their eight years in the White House, Reagan and his appointees waged a well-documented, highly public war against civil rights leaders and did everything in their political power to roll back civil rights gains. That war began months before Reagan entered the White House. At his infamous presidential kick-off campaign rally at Neshoba, Miss., in 1980, held virtually a stone’s throw from where three civil rights workers were murdered in 1964, Reagan shouted to an all-white crowd: “I believe in states’ rights.” He laced that speech—and many others during his campaign—with racial code words and phrases, blasting welfare, big government, and rampant federal spending. The message was that if elected, he would not only say and do as little as possible to offend the white South, he would work to actively undermine civil rights.

Blacks did better during Reagan, time for you to forget partisan BS.

The good that Reagan did for black America

Indeed, Andrew Brimmer, the Harvard-trained black economist, the former Federal Reserve Board member, estimated that total black business receipts increased from $12.4 billion in 1982 to $18.1 billion in 1987, translating into an annual average growth rate of 7.9 percent (compared to 5 percent for all U.S. businesses.

The success of the black entrepreneurial class during the Reagan era was rivaled only by the gains of the black middle class.

In fact, black social scientist Bart Landry estimated that that upwardly mobile cohort grew by a third under Reagan's watch, from 3.6 million in 1980 to 4.8 million in 1988. His definition was based on employment in white-collar jobs as well as on income levels.

All told, the middle class constituted more than 40 percent of black households by the end of Reagan's presidency, which was larger than the size of black working class, or the black poor.

The impressive growth of the black middle class during the 1980s was attributable in no small part to the explosive growth of jobs under Reagan, which benefited blacks disproportionately.

Indeed, between 1982 and 1988, total black employment increased by 2 million, a staggering sum. That meant that blacks gained 15 percent of the new jobs created during that span, while accounting for only 11 percent of the working-age population.

Meanwhile, the black jobless rate was cut by almost half between 1982 and 1988. Over the same span, the black employment rate – the percentage of working-age persons holding jobs – increased to record levels, from 49 percent to 56 percent.

The black executive ranks especially prospered under Reagan. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reported that the number of black managers and officers in corporations with 100 or more employees increased by 30 percent between 1980 and 1985.

During the same period, the number of black professionals increased by an astounding 63 percent.

The burgeoning of the black professional, managerial and executive ranks during the 1980s coincided with a steady growth of the black student population at the nation's colleges and universities in the 1980s.

Even though the number of college-aged blacks decreased during much of the decade, black college enrollment increased by 100,000 between 1980 and 1987, according to the Census Bureau.

Meanwhile, the 1980s saw an improvement in the black high school graduation rate, as the proportion of blacks 18 to 24 years old earning high school diplomas increased from 69.7 percent in 1980 to 76 percent by 1987.

On balance, then, the majority of black Americans made considerable progress in the 1980s.

More of us stayed in high school, graduated and went on to college. More of us were working than ever before, in better jobs and for higher wages.

The black middle class burgeoned to unprecedented size, emerging as the dominant income group in black America. And black business flourished, creating wealth in the black community.

Reps. Owens, Wynn and Watson may think that all of those wondrous developments were simply happenstance.

But the credit goes to Ronald Reagan, who initiated the policies that fostered the economic growth and job creation of the 1980s, which produced the prosperity that most black Americans enjoyed.

Political positions of Ronald Reagan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Minorities[edit]
Reagan did not support many civil rights bills throughout the years.[36] He opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964[37] and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson.[36] In 1982 he signed a bill extending the Voting Rights Act for 25 years after a grass-roots lobbying and legislative campaign forced him to abandon his plan to ease that law's restrictions.[38] In 1988 he vetoed the Civil Rights Restoration Act, but his veto was overridden by Congress. Reagan had argued that the legislation infringed on states' rights and the rights of churches and business owners.[39]

Reagan did not consider himself a racist, and dismissed any attacks aimed at him relating to racism as attacks on his personal character and integrity.[36]

There are critics who claim that Reagan gave his 1980 presidential campaign speech, about states' rights,[40] in Philadelphia, Mississippi. This also happens to be the place where three civil rights workers were killed in 1964.[41] However, despite the critics' claims, Reagan had actually given it at the Neshoba County Fair, in the unincorporated community of Neshoba, Mississippi, seven miles away. It was a popular campaigning spot, as presidential candidates John Glenn and Michael Dukakis both campaigned there as well.[42][43]

He also said (while campaigning in Georgia) that Confederate President Jefferson Davis was "a hero of mine."[44] However, Reagan was offended that some accused him of racism.[44] In 1980, Reagan said the Voting Rights Act was "humiliating to the South",[45] although he later supported extending the Act.[46] He opposed Fair Housing legislation in California (the Rumford Fair Housing Act),[47] but in 1988 signed a law expanding the Fair Housing Act of 1968.[48] Reagan was unsuccessful in trying to veto another civil rights bill in March of the same year.[49] Reagan engaged a policy of Constructive engagement with South Africa in spite of apartheid due to the nation being a valuable anti-communist ally, opposing pressure from Congress and his own party for tougher sanctions until his veto was overridden.[50] Reagan opposed the Martin Luther King holiday at first, and signed it only after an overwhelming veto-proof majority (338 to 90 in the House of Representatives and 78 to 22 in the Senate) voted in favor of it.[51] Congress overrode Reagan's veto of the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1988.[49][52] Reagan said the Restoration Act would impose too many regulations on churches, the private sector, and state and local governments.[53]

I checked out that link yesterday and it went to a dead article. But I read the comments, and your quote..

It all depends who is writing the article on what Reagan did for the black community.
There is actually a snoop dog documentary on this weekend about the damage done..darn I don't have HBO.

It was a society and we all needed it and we all had it and we all helped each other. Then when Reaganomics kicked in, certain things were taken away, after-school programs and things of that nature. Guns and drugs were shipped into the neighborhood. So it was a shift of having fun and playing football to selling drugs and shooting at each other. To me it was a system that was designed, because when the Reaganomics era began, that’s when this began.

Snoop Dogg's HBO Series Takes Aim at Reagan Legacy

I do like Reagan because he was a nice guy, but I see the results of some of his policy's years later.

Reagan’s attitude was no different on the domestic front. Under the guise of “devolution” or new federalism, he proceeded to attempt to dismantle domestic programs that had a disproportionate impact upon Blacks and the poor. He reduced the affirmative action requirements of corporate recipients of federal contracts and cutback oversight; diminished the role of the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department in filing discrimination claims; and drastically cut the federal and state welfare rolls under Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). The anti-Black, anti-poor venom that came out of the Reagan White House spared no one. Even children were not safe. At one point the administration reduced federal funding for school lunches, going so far as to classify ketchup as a vegetable


Reagan also ushered in an era of Black conservatives, right-wing apologists whose complexion confounded critics, threw the civil rights establishment off-balance, shielded the president from being taken to task for his assault on racial minorities and the poor, and enchanted a media that was somewhat amused by what appeared to be a fissure in the Black community. He placed Clarence Pendleton on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission while attempting to force longtime commissioners off the panel, and attempting to end its historic role as an independent watchdog. Reagan then forced fed us Pendleton’s namesake, Clarence Thomas, and gave him free reign to destroy the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC); setting us up for Thomas’ eventual appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court.
