Why do Blacks vote for democrats?

A better question is why Republicans think blacks would vote for a racist like Trump? 80% of blacks believe he is a racist and half of America does too. Trump has a long history of racism and it started with his KKK father.

Actually the question is why blacks continue to vote for democrats who don't do anything for them.
 
Why does any minority vote for Democrats? Because Republicans don't gaf about minorities. Racial, sexual, religious, or otherwise. It's not a hard concept.

More of the liberal fairy tale that they keep using to keep the black vote. The evidence doesn't point to that myth.

Perhaps they don't vote for Republicans because Republicans don't look at how no major minority group votes for them and think: "Hm, maybe it's something we are doing. Maybe it is positions that we have and that is why they don't vote for us."

Instead, Republicans, and you too evidently, see now no major minority group votes for them, and think: "They vote Democrat because they all want free stuff." Or "They vote Democrat because they are too stupid to know what is good for them - if only they were enlightened like we are."

And you are so lacking in self-reflection that you don't see that your argument implies a racist belief - that black people are somehow different than you are and unlike you, they don't vote their own percieved self interest.

Democrats have created the ****holes that are burning across the country today. What you are witnessing is the bi-product of 5-7 decades of people electing democrat mayors, city councilmen, district attorneys, and police chiefs. The question isnt why would black Americans vote democrat...its why the **** would ANY sane person keep voting for democrats.

I guess people have a thing for empty promises and crumbs.

Sure...I agree...the GOP doesnt target black Americans for their votes. Why would they? Historically it has been demonstrated its a losing battle. But losing doesnt even begin to describe what democrats have done in every major city across the country.

I am not an expert but it does seem that the worst hit cities are the ones that are run by Democrats... the party that blacks vote for generally and the party that does nothing to actually improve the plight of black people...

The argument was why do they vote Democrat... stick to that.

The same reason that women, minorities and millennials vote Democrat. They think that it represents their needs.

No, if blacks had been supporting republicans for the past 50 years, and NOT buying into the self destructive, fear mongering propaganda of the Democrats and their "news" media communications dept, their nuclear family wouldn't have imploded and collapsed! They are LIED TO about how success is nearly impossible due to "systemic racism". They used to have a very low single parent rate in the late 60s, in the 20% range. But in just a few decades, it skyrocketed to well over 70%!

Once the racist democrats of the 60s enacted their "great society" programs , the Dems began encouraging and rewarding young teenaged black AND Latino girls for dropping out of school and getting pregnant. Then they are shoved into AWFUL HOUSING PROJECTS, surrounded by drugs and gangs, to raise kids they aren't prepared for. Then the cycle repeats itself! The only people who benefit from these evil crimes of humanity are DEMOCRATS!

If you truly care for minorities, WISE UP! This stuff is SO obvious! Stop believing everything you hear in the awful "news" media...

The Democrats' policies of scaring young minorities into basically giving up, while being encouraged and rewarded to get pregnant while 18-22 years old, then shoved into projects or section 8 housing, WHERE NO SELF RESPECTING WHITE PROGRESSIVE WOULD EVER LIVE! They become wards of the state, while the Dems and their "news" media lap dogs keep them in a perpetual state of fear and ignorance.

Then they are routinely told to blame all their problems and issues on "systemic racism caused by republicans", while the only real systemic oppression is caused by the Democrats who keep them in this situation, and who's cities and projects they live in!

Yeah, this is a load of crap. In fact, this is the reason why blacks don't vote Democrat. Look in the mirror and fix your own bull**** before you throw stones at others.

What the hell has the GOP, specifically the modern day GOP, ever done for black people?

Trump claims he's done more for black people than any president since Lincoln, what policies would reflect that?

Hell, what does the GOP do anything for anyone other than pander to the richest Americans, and their wealthy donors?

60 years ago black people lived in poor housing and received a poor education... they still are in that condition today.

So... the real question is... what the **** have the Democrats done for black people? Answer that before bashing the GOP.

Please... educate me. Thank you...

I'll ask again, what policies do the GOP have that would better the black community? What places do they even have to better the white community, which consistently votes for them?

I'd say it's a lesser of the two evils thing. Of course, there are many successful black people out there any way, most who vote Democrat.

FAIL!

Black people keep voting for Democrats who have not improved their lives or living circumstances. That is the point.

I AM THE ONE that asked the first question... the Democrats are failing black people so why not try the other side?

For you to "ask me again" is PATHETIC debating.

So again... what the have the Democrats done for black people? Answer that before bashing the GOP. Please... educate me. Thank you...

I already answered your question. It's a lesser of the two evils type situation, and policy wise black Americans feel the Democrats policies align with their political views more.

So again, what GOP policies are specifically beneficial to Black Americans, or Americans in general? What the hell does the GOP stand for these days, other than to troll the libs?

There are many successful black people out there, many who vote Republican. In fact, the percentage of black people that are Republican and successful is higher than the percentage of black people that are Democrat and successful. And since you will not state anything that has positively changed in 60.... hell, 200 years, for black people as a result of Democratic Policies I can only assume that you have nothing and that Democrats have conned the **** out of black people.

Again, blacks have their reasons as to why they vote the way they do. It's the GOP that should make their case as to why black Americans deserve their votes. All their idiot leader can do is claim he's done more for them since any president since Lincoln, without citing any actual policies or evidence other than "black unemployment was at record lows, pre-covid", which of course was a clear trend from the previous administration.

So I'll ask again, what specific policies does the GOP have that's beneficial to black Americans, or working class Americans in general? Why does EVERY demographic besides white voters, particularly older white voters, reject the modern day GOP?

Asian Americans used to vote heavily GOP up until about 2004...and that's changed drastically. What's your excuse about that?

LOL, posting a list of African American Republicans is "proof" there's more successful black Republicans out there? Are you trolling?

And again, the Democrats have the black vote. The Republicans need to make their case as to why their so called "policies" are better for working class black families. Claiming that Trump is the best president for them since Lincoln doesn't cut it
