Blacks voted overwhelmingly for Obama both times. In return they have suffered more during this economy than whites. Most blacks are socially conservative and are horrified at the gay marriage business. Recall that black churches were instrumental in defeating the ballot measure in CA.
So having been screwed financially, having been promised a bunch of stuff that still hasnt been delivered on, having their values crapped all over, will blacks get the idea that Democrats are the party to exploit them and at least stay home on election day?
blacks have been brainwashed for centuries by Democrats to see themselves as little children.

No. Hillary will get nearly the same numbers as Obama and whomever you guys run will get next to no support. You've earned it.

Racial Profiling
If you ever took sociology , or probability and statistics you should be well aware that there are a ridiculously large amount of variables that will effect the numbers that went into that chart, but they do do seem to indicate that racial profiling plays a role - it could also be relevant to socio-economics who da fk knows.
No. Initially, she may get some flack but if the alternative is a republican Black people will support her.I think it would be an epic collapse for the GOP if a Democrat wins in 2016. But I've seen it before and I haven't been seeing anything different from the current crop of GOP hopefuls. I just wonder - for example - if the Democratic nominee is Hillary Clinton, will there be some black voters who hold some of her 2008 campaign tactics against her?
What if the alternative were a black Republican?
No. Whites use at the same rate or more.

It would depend on who the Black republican is. I'm guessing Herman Cain would go down in flames. Colin Powell would probably be enough to sway Black voters.
I never trust an article that can't quote it's sources, for instance, your article says its data is from FBI statistics, yet I can't find where the FBI separates marijuana arrests from drug arrests, but I'm still looking.
What I HAVE found is total drug arrests.
FBI mdash Table 43
blacks account for not quite half of all drug related arrests, which tracks with how much more likely they are to commit nearly every crime. For instance, 13% of the population committed nearly as many murders as 77% of the population (or do you also claim that whites murder as frequently as blacks, but aren't arrested for it?)[TBODY] [/TBODY]

You said you couldnt go to prison for having weed and you were wrong. The simple possession laws dont specify you only go if you are a repeat offender. I know too many first time kids that are in prison now so we know thats false. its called mandatory sentencing son.

Interesting chart. Here's one I found. Note the differences.Could also be that blacks use marijuana at a fat greater rate than whites.

No. Initially, she may get some flack but if the alternative is a republican Black people will support her.I will be particularly interested in the 2016 election as I like studying the effect the media has on the public. I fully expect the Reps to win just from past history. I wonder however, how badly the Reps will misjudge the conditions again. Will they go over board with the anti minority, anti gay, and anti women social agendas? In other words will they just give it away yet again?OK - I think the tards have been debunked pretty thoroughly. So now can we start the REAL discussion? Will a democrat garner 92% of black voters with a higher percentage of blacks voting than whites in 2016?
IMHO probably not. But I think the Obama campaign was masterful at identifying their voters and getting them to the polls in 2012 especially. So will the 2016 Democrat be able to pick up on those techniques and surprise us again? I think it is possible, but I don't think Hillary Clinton will be able to generate the same level of turnout.
Just MHO.
I think Black people will hit the polls in close to the same numbers regardless and I dont see them voting for any republican unless they have convincing evidence they are not racist. As far as republicans go they are guilty until proven innocent.

Hey, everyone knows only blacks, no matter how dumb they are, understand racial issues.I disagree. I'm Black. This has awakened many Black people to educate themselves about voting. I've never heard so much talk about voting just in general conversation. My 2 nieces that were turning 20 and 21 respectively cant wait to vote in the next election.Most do, whether it is a rational decision or not. What will be interesting is whether or not blacks will continue to vote in the numbers they did in 2008 and 2012 where they participated at a marginally higher percentage than whites for the first time.
I'm thinking we will return to a +5 percentage point advantage to whites with no black presidential candidate.
Oh ... now you're Black ...if you say so ....and you seem to think that brings some privilege with it ? And Funny - when you referred to Blacks in the past it was allways "they" not "us" or "we" HMMMmmm

blacks have been brainwashed for centuries by Democrats to see themselves as little children.
This sort of patronizing racism is why blacks will never vote Republican
And those using it are morons for thinking they can scream how all blacks are stupid, and still get them to vote Republican. Being a patronizing racist just isn't a vote-getter.
Remind me what sending Eric Holder and Sharpton with other black leftists down to Ferguson and the Trayvon Martin fiasco has to do with the ridiculous fantasy that black Democrats are any closer to voting Republican?So why did Obama send Eric Holder and Sharpton with other black leftists down to Ferguson and the Trayvon Martin fiasco?Good God that is so opposite of how blacks percieve the Obama admin.Because democrats take them for granted and made many dependent on handedouts without proving jobs.That is so retarded, they have voted Democratic over 90% for years. What makes you think they'd ever shift over to the Republicans?....and why should they?
I think you're expressing what righty media wishes blacks thought about Obama's admin
Yup, you Democrats own their black asses.
Happy now?
Stat, you really love calling people liars.MarcATL
The next logical step for the Republicans, now that they have said this stupid stuff about black people, is then to go one step further (as they often have) and insinuate or downright say that black folks are just plain old too stupid to realize that they are enslaved by the "Dimocraps" and are therefore deserving of scorn, but if only they would swich parties, you know, to the one that has been calling them lazy and "thugs" and "where's ma free shit" and stuff like that, all will be well.
(The things above are not my words, just to remind. I don't feel this way at all about our fellow black citizens.)
Republican intelligence - it is a thing to behold. Much as I behold a turd in a toilet.
Republican voter outreach is about the weirdest thing I have ever seen in my life:
"We hate you. You suck. Vote for us."
The next logical step for the Republicans, now that they have said this stupid stuff about black people
Democrats get a free pass when it comes to racist remarks.
“I mean you’ve got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and nice-looking guy.” – Joe Biden,
a ‘light-skinned’ African American with ‘no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.’” - Harry Reid
"I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years." - Lyndon Johnson
"White folks was in caves while we was building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." - Al Sharpton
"I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's not a n*gger or a Chinaman. - Harry Truman
"You fucking Jew Bastard." Hillary Clinton
“Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them.” — Mary Frances Berry, Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights
“There are white n*ggers. I’ve seen a lot of white n*ggers in my time.” — US Senator Robert Byrd
The Medicaid system must have been developed by a white male slave owner. It pays for you to be pregnant and have a baby, but it won’t pay for much family planning.” — Jocelyn Elders
“We have lost to the white racist press and to the racist reactionary Jewish misleaders.” — Former Rep. Gus Savage (D-Illinois) after his defeat 1992
The Hillary Clinton quote is a lie, based on a rumor. I bet that a number of those other quotes are also so. Is this all the Right has to dish up? You poor people.
I believe you are Mistaken [again]
......one particularly shocking passage in the book, Oppenheimer quotes a campaign official who describes an angry attack by Hillary in which she screams at him, "You fucking Jew bastard!"
Two sourced eyewitnesses confirmed to Oppenheimer that they heard the verbal assault.
[Sources tell DRUDGE that Dick Morris is not the campaign official.]
"One anti-Semitic slur slung in anger hardly defines a person, and Hillary has always had a tendency when angry to go for the gut," Oppenheimer writes. But, unfortunately, according to UNION, that was neither the first nor the last time Hillary had used such a slur. And there is a darker side to the story.
...........According to the book, Hillary's mother, Dorothy Rodham, held a life-long grudge against Rosenberg, and made Jewish slurs, according to an on the record family member quoted by Oppenheimer. HIllary Jewish Slurs Claimed In New Book
And the names of those witnesses?
Oh, please, you live in a fantasy world.
Get off your lazy ass and Google it or stfu.
The right has plenty of advocacy media outlets. Fox, Rush, Breitbart, Drudge, USA Toady, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Examiner.....and so on.No, the biggest problem is liberals own the media. The Republicans aren't able to fight their way through the constant negative propaganda.The biggest problem that the GOP has with women and minorities is that they don't talk TO women and minorities, they talk AT women and minorities. Big difference. Their way doesn't work.
Systemic racism within the Republican Party is minimal, but tolerated in an unsettling way as well.
Prior to 1996, the big 3 networks were center left, and scandals were what they went after on both sides. Watergate was a great example of a conservative reporter (Woodward) and a liberal reporter (Bernstein) working together to blow the lid off of Watergate.
When Fox News showed up, using Rupert Murdoch's successful business models of conservative networks in Australia and the UK, the news for righties became far right, to the point of simply being GOP propaganda. Since then, the left has begun to imitate that business model and created MSNBC. Now there are plenty of 24 hour/day new networks to confirm what you think is right.
I don't think those networks brain wash people, they simply hold focus groups that find out how people react, and what they want to be true, then tell them that.
Most of the anchors on MSNBC and Fox, Chris Wallace excluded, do not have journalism degrees, they have communications degrees. Which used to be common to political strategists, not reporters.
Of course the far left media outlets don't claim to be fair and balanced. Fox pulls that maneuver very well. They afford liberal points of view, so they can offer statistics showing equal time given to opposing opinion...but the liberals they feature, Jon Stewart or Obama excluded, are a mixed bag of ineffectual and "has been" Democrats. A great example of people who can't find work with Democrats anymore. Doug Schoen, Pat Caddel, Alan Colmes, and so on. MSNBC has the same thing, Steve Schmidt, Nicole Wallace, and Michael Steele.
The right has never been represented by a center right media network, or been given actual journalism to mentally digest. Which explains the rift in GOP politics. What remains are fringes. RINOs VS Tea Party/Militia types.
Some good points here. But MSNBC and Fox offer very little in the way of balance. One offers the far left view, the other the far right view. Just count how many times a "story" is based on one source - a source that shares the slant of the network - without any other viewpoints. I've done a few counts on that - it's shockingly poor journalism.
But in this day and age where so many media outlets - with so many different slants - are available, it is absurd to suggest that a particular point of view is being "buried."
Just absurd foolishness.
Hitler pulled some of the same shit Obama is pulling. I don't think any of this is funny and neither should you.
