Why should blacks become republicans?

[Marion Morrison]

The Democratic Party is offering victimhood and poverty.
The Republicans are offering success and prosperity.

Well said sir!

The American Dream vs. welfare, there you go!

Blacks are Americans, too! Get rid of some of these illegals, and they'll have more jobs.

 

[IM2]

Because Republicans let you think for yourself, they don't try to tell you what to do or think.

That's a lie and you republicans here prove it.

Why should blacks join either party? Useally someone claims to be either a democrat or republican because he identifies more with one of the party’s platforms than the other.

Usually they don't identify much with either party, but slightly more than the other.

In other countries though, they actually have real choice. They've even given it a name, it's called "democracy".

I would like a logical explanation from one of you white republicans as to why blacks should join your party. Please do not regurgitate the lame story about the 1860 democratic party. After all, every time we blacks talk about what occurred during that time none of you were there. The history of things were not important to you in this regard, so since you weren't around in 1860 and history is not important you in other situations, it's not important now. So please explain why blacks should join the republican party.

/----/ Well you weren't around in 1860 either but that doesn't stop you from harping on slavery and reparations and BLM and quotas, does it? You want to align yourself with the party that fought to preserve slavery and attack those who freed the slaves then go right ahead. BTW it's not my place to tell anyone why they should join a political party. Only liberals look at everything through race, Republicans, don't.

Your position disintegrates into dust because modern day Republicans are not the party of Lincoln. The south back then was willing and eager to divide the country and fight a civil war rather than give up their slaves. Many modern day Republicans and conservatives still want a civil war to permanently divide this country. They’re the ones telling blacks to go back to Africa. They’re the ones threatening a civil war. Just look at the bigots and racists on this forum; they’re almost all on the right.

/——/ That is just your wild eyed speculation and hatred for the GOP. You offer no proof to support that load of bilge.

• The Back-to-Africa movement, also known as the Colonization movement or Black Zionism, originated in the United States in the 19th century. It encouraged those of African descent to return to the African homelands of their ancestors. This movement would eventually inspire other movements ranging from the Nation of Islam to the Rastafari movement and proved to be popular among African-Americans.

Republican Policy doesn't care what color you are. Do you want tax cuts, or do you want them jacked up to 85%? Do you want it to take over twenty years to build a road? Do you believe in freedom of speech? Do you believe individual's should be free to live the best life they can, or do you believe they are serfs to a controlling government and the American dream is dead? If you think the individual is important, vote republican, if you are a Marxist, that system of governance has a history of failure that is a stain on human history. The democrats call it racism, but Muslim culture is slicing and dicing through Europe. Do you want that here? As for illegal immigrants, unchecked immigration makes it harder for US citizens to find work, and they consume a great deal of resources. I honestly see no reason why minorities would want to be democrats. Republican policy doesn't 'hate you', it believes you should be free to live your best life.

Republicans don’t care what color you are

That is why they have only elected eight blacks to Congress, Governorship or President in the last hundred years

Not in minority neighborhoods

Your jobs are being sent overseas

I would doubt most are Democrats.

Most vote Democrat, that's different to being a Democrat.

You look at countries with positive voting, ie, Proportional Representation and you see how many people even vote for the main parties.

Germany it's 53.4% of people voted for the main two parties.
Belgium it's 31.9%
Denmark it's 47.4%
Finland it's 38.7%

It's very hard to find a place with PR where the two main parties do very well under fair elections.

If the US had PR, potentially half the people who vote for them now would vote for someone else. People vote negatively.

Germany also votes like the US, FPTP, on the same day, and gained 61% of the vote. FPTP leads to the main parties doing better because people vote negatively. They vote for who they DON'T WANT to get into power.

The number of voters doesn't imply the number of people who are "Democrats" or "Republicans". What makes someone a Democrat in the first place?

If they don't work for the party, and just vote once every 2 or 4 years, does that make them a Democrat?

It's kind of ridiculous.

Why is it that you whites want to think you can tell us what we are? I'm black. Most blacks are democrats. And when I say this, I'm not talking about voting.

LOLOL

^^^ evidence that rightards are just nuts.

Last time Republicans had complete control of the government for too long, they gave us the Great Recession. The time before that, they gave us the Great Depression.

The longest stretch of continuous job growth occurred under a Democrat (Obama, 76 months). The time before that was also a Democrat (Clinton, 51 months).
