Why might a black person vote Republican?
Because Trump is currently at the helm of the party. The party rather sucks, just as the other one does too, most politicians are bought and paid for. But his agenda is good and is helping every citizen, our military and vets, our national security and more. As long as he’s at the front of the Republicans, they MIGHT actually get something done they’ve been promising for eons, they MIGHT actually improve the economy, improve the military, improve border security, improve rule of law, reduce illegal immigration (which btw does more damage to the black and hispanic communities than any others!) and a ton of other things, since Trump appears to be the first politician since Reagan to even try (let alone succeed) in keeping to the agenda he campaigned on. Probably because neither of them were really ‘politicians’ so much as old men fed up with what they saw wrong and nobody else seemed willing to fix.Notice I didn’t say anything about race aside from the note about aliens hurting those two communities most (the first via non-degree jobs issue, the second via crime and recruitment for crime). That’s because I expect every US Citizen to vote for what is best for their nation and its people. I don’t expect anybody who is mature enough to vote to be so shallow as to imperil things like national security, treatment of military and vets, and so on all for some special interest topic, whatever it may be.To me, expecting people to vote democrat just because they’re black is breathtakingly racist. To reverse it, IF it were completely true, one could say, “Well, ya can’t trust those blacks to be patriots or love their country, they’ll always vote for the guy giving ’em welfare.” How pathetic would that be? I don’t believe it. Nearly all the people I know who are black are responsible, intelligent, hard working, patriotic Americans — just like anybody else would be. They vote for whomever they choose and it’s usually based on the “priorities” issue related to their country. Not who the media and social pressure “make” them feel like they “have” to choose. They have more spine than that.They don’t need any different reasons than anybody else needs: they vote for the agenda that seems best geared for the country’s good at that moment. This does not differ based on what color their skin might be.
Is it 'unchristian' to vote Democrat? ?
Just an election. God won't mind I'm sure.
Why Do Democrats Capture 90% of the African American Vote?
Because for the past 40 years the Democrats have been making all kinds of promises to make life better for them. Two problems with that, one, they have yet to deliver and two, they have no incentive to deliver (if they actually improved things for blacks, they might decide to vote based on issues and the Dems know they might loose their iron grip). Hey Josie, you should read some pre-Civil War History. The Republican party was specifically formed to end slavery and you might even learn that Lincoln was a Republican.
Why do African Americans vote overwhelmingly for the democratic party?
The democratic party is not a party against religion nor is it a party that has not done anything for numerical minorities in this country. Black people were overwhelmingly supportive of the party of Lincoln up until John F. Kennedy's presidency in which the president publicly supported civil rights. Many of the urban leaders black and non-black shifted their political alliances and their followers did the same and stayed loyal for many years. As time went on there seemed to be a shift in the values where people who were wealthier, regardless of ethnicity sided with the Republicans because they felt that the GOP protected their economic interests, as that grew dems painted themselves as people for the poor and middle class, see John Edwards' campaign. It just so happens that more black people fall into the middle class and poor areas, and that's the way they vote. Now with things being the way they are, Black people are examining all parties and making choices based on what they think is good for them. Usually the only party that the media reports as still catering to the Black community is the democrats which is why it seems like we overwhelmingly vote democrat but that is not necessarily a given anymore. I myself have voted across party lines on a few occasions. For those of you who have written flippant racist stereotypical comments, shame on you! pathetic. Thank you for reading.
