Social How come most black people are Democrats?

[TheGreatA]

That's the funniest part. Right wingers who hate socialism quoting a socialist.

Orwell was a socialist but he had struggles fitting into any of the categories available during his own day. He'd probably have the same kind of problems these days.

He was driven by a strong sense of social justice that sometimes clouded his other senses.

It's obvious that he wished for nothing more than the idea that there was a clear-cut enemy to fight against, like in 1984. Good, and evil. A merciless, all-encompassing totalitarian government, and the innocent citizens trampled by its force. But that was never really the case. Both the left and the right were full of violent totalitarians in his era. Even he himself entertained violent and totalitarian ideas.

Nobody could escape it during the madness of the WW2 era. All you could do, really, was to join one group of pirates, to fight another.

only pussies follow you around to troll you . Report you, get you carded etc

pretty sure this is the first interaction we have had.... that is unless you have multiple accounts

The majority of black people in the USA have sub 80 iq? Do you have a source on that?

youre racist

 

[Natural Order]

I know where you’re from. I asked you for a source because it was pretty clear you didn’t know what you were taking about. I might be wrong but at least I provide sources. You couldn’t even do that.

Your ignorance on WN in America made it pretty obvious you were not American. I don’t expect you to understand more than what you see on TV.


Now your ignorance on the rise of nationalism and specific white nationalism is more concerning. They held a WN conference in your own back yard. I hope you find these sources more to your liking.

He's not wrong though. The people who always had white superiority thoughts (a huge chunk of Republicans to be certain) are still there, in rural America. These figures are not on the rise and will continue as general sentiment throughout those families for as long as they wish to perpetuate the idea. Most of these people will not become the radicals pictured above.

The in-your-face neo-Nazi types most certainly come from direct contact with tribalism in prisons, or within families that have.

 

[Alphafail]

Both parties are racist, but the Democrats are more subtle than the Republicans, in a 'oh you poor inferior thing, we'll take good care of you' kind of way.

 

[jamel]

Same reason why New Zealanders dont want to learn the empires history.

Because fuck yall thats why.


Fuck outta here with this "better the devil you know" line of thinking.

 

[tenniswhiz]

I have to agree with you tonni, it's absurd to tell them to leave the democrat plantation. At this point if you're a democrat you're just sub 80 iq. Race doesn't matter.

Both parties have intelligent and dull people.

 

[Topguntrophey]

I’m sure voting in the guy who wanted to see Obama’s birth certificate claiming he wasn’t American into the Oval Office doesn’t help. Or the yearly group photos of the republicans in congress.

 

[Teppodama]

A lot of us want to vote republican. But then see these dudes at republican events and it turns people away.

So, take back the Republican party. At some point, both Liberals and Conservatives of the traditional sense are going to have to either fight to take back the reigns of their respective political parties, give in, or finally get to organizing their own party and really making a fight of it.

Does the War Room still do year end awards? I’m nominating this one for Dunning-Kruger post of the year

yup, always cracks me up when people unironically claim the left is all about identity politics...

 

[hedidhisownstunts]

The Civil rights act of 1964 and the voting rights act of 1965 flipped the voting loyalties of southern white voters to republicans. The Republican Party policy followed this new constituency.

As a Cuban Republican, is the appeal of the Republican Party all the fear mongering about socialism and communism? those things rarely mean what you think. they're just blanket dismissal terms that Republicans use.

I think it’s more complex than that. They absolutely do sell fear. That is only part of it. The other part is they sell this idea that everyone can become rich. They have convinced people that all forms of inequality is a myth and everyone as the same chance. They have convinced a lot of poor and uneducated people that they will be rich someday so in turn they should vote rich now.

 

[TheChosenKing]

The reason most black people are Democrats is because the Democratic party appeals very strongly to black women. The Democrats aggressively pursue policies aimed at empowering strong, independent women of color who do not have to rely on toxic men for their survival.

Before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Republican Party was split between liberals/moderates in the Northeast, and conservatives, libertarians and moderates from the rest of the country besides the South. The Democratic Party was mainly split between the white working class in the Northeast and Midwest, and conservatives in the South who hated and resented Republicans for the Civil War and Reconstruction, plus blacks and other minorities. While a larger percentage of blacks voted Republican in those days, it was still a minority, around 25-33%. And the minority vote was tiny because the black vote was suppressed in the South and the Hispanic and Asian populations were minuscule compared to what they are now.

After Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, white liberals in the Northeast became Democrats, a higher percentage of blacks became Democrats, white conservatives in the South became Republicans (or at least started voting for Republicans), and increasing amounts of the white working class started voting Republican, mainly starting with Nixon and then peaking with Reagan (and Trump rode to victory with this vote in the Rust Belt in 2016).

The Southern Strategy, which Lee Atwater came up with and admitted to, and which subsequent RNC chairmen have confessed to and apologized for, embraced white racists in the South and other places, and alienated blacks and other minorities. A majority of Arab Americans and Muslim Americans and Asian Americans used to vote Republican. They now overwhelmingly vote Democrat. And Trump and the nationalist-populist wing of the Republican Party have alienated them even further.

Stockholm syndrome,
Is a "psychological response wherein a captive identifies closely with his or her captors, as well as
with their agenda and demands” — in other words, a process of brainwashing the captive.

"I'm not racist.

Also, black people are just brainwashed idiots because they don't agree with me."

I mean, I agree that everyone has a chance. capitalism is an idea built on the expectation that there is inequality, and there is, not just in terms of what you're born into, but how smart or hard you work. in a good number of cases Cubans in Miami especially have actually a dug out a great thriving for themselves in Miami, in credit to their belief in the American dream. I think the aspects of conservativism that appeal the most to Cubans are old world things like chauvinism and machismo, no gay Jesus, real communist dictatorship experience, and the American Dream. the American dream I think is the least toxic of these.

1. Blacks form an underclass in the USA. And poor people tend towards the party talking about handouts.
2. Democrats race pander to Blacks. Blacks think in race terms. If you attack Whites and the police they will be happy about it. Blacks don't relate to some Blonde White man talking about Christianity and the capitalist system.
3. Most people's political convictions in the USA's joke two party system are hereditary and cultural. People vote because they've always voted a certain way, and there is little alternative as the only other option is another party. There is no 3rd, 4th, or 5th political party that could be an option.

Mark my words if America has a political system like Germany and had over 20 political parties, the vote would be much more spread whether its with Whites, Latinos, Asians, poor, rich, etc.

America doesn't have a functioning democracy. It's an archaic system that almost makes me think of the 2000 year old Roman Republic.

 

[BIKES!]

That’s easy. The Democrat Reich has consistently offered short term incentives to keep PoC on their payroll. They have also stroked fear using their MSM propaganda arm to spread lies about a mythological white supremacy group.

It’s kind of like when Bill Clinton had four eye witnesses and victims speak out about his may times on Epstein’s island. There are also flight manifests of Clinton with Epstein traveling to the island. So guess what? The Democrat Reich started pumping a simple random picture of Trump with Epstein from a rich people party as if that was the same.

Brainwashed and racists sloths like @blaseblah follow the marching orders

 

[panamaican]

I'm always surprised at how many people don't know the historical reason for this. And I'm always disappointed by the people who do know the history but try to obfuscate the history anyway.

It's been covered at length in this thread so I'm not adding anything new. But once the GOP committed to the Southern Strategy, they lost the black vote for decades. The thing is that they knew this. They adopted the Strategy specifically because the math at the time told them that there were more white people upset with the Civil Rights Act than black people who would leave the party. It was a straight demographic math issue - gain 100 white anti-integrationists from the Democrats, lose 25 black Republicans.

It wasn't a bad short term strategy. It only fails because the demographics have shifted and the support for segregation disappeared with subsequent generations. A good short term strategy for elections and a poor long term strategy for the nation.

That’s easy. The Democrat Reich
