Let’s debunk GOP myth of why blacks vote Democratic

Thing1 said:
Again - just missing the point of BLM, completely.

It shows the disconnect.

No one is saying it's "no biggie" about daily black lives lost. You are completely missing the point of why BLM formed. It is a direct response to decades of frustration over clearly discriminatory targeting by law enforcement.

What you're arguing is the same as arguing that "pro life" protestors should also be on the front lines protesting against war, or the death penalty. That isn't why the pro-life movement formed. It was specifically about abortion.

It's a waste of time talking to some people. We never bring up a hot-button issue like this and see them respond with "hey, you might have a point."

Blacks are roughly 10 % of the population and are 25.7% of food stamps using christy's figures. Similar disparate figures for it all.
The war on poverty buried blacks in poverty as intended and gave them just enough to allow the safety net to become a hammock.
And the walk around money is just gravy.
The GOP speaks to the many middle and upper class blacks especially older ones who recall it was GOP that passed the civil rights acts while the Dixie cars went for food stamps and such when they were still proud to be in the KKK.

It's no myth and if you talk to black people they know the score and say 'why turn down free ?'. They think it's funny.
Why indeed.

You think whites don't get the same "free" that blacks get?
 
By saying that Democrats promise free stuff to blacks, Republicans betray their racist belief that welfare is somehow a program exclusive to blacks (which allows them to target working class whites who would otherwise benefit from such programs, through race baiting).
 
30% of black people get food stamps? Then why the hell are you losing 90%+ of them, Republicans? You can't really go around whining and blaming your losses among blacks all on food stamps when the margins you are losing them by are far greater than the amount that are actually getting food stamps.
 
For Legion Leon. Besides the fact that you're a troll your white privilege shows through so well the fact that you think white liberals aren't and can't be racist. There are more examples than this obviously but some good reading for you from liberal sites. They talk about you to a T.

This is you to a tee Legion:


""White liberals love to point out the racism of conservatives and republicans. This is an easy task in the post civil rights era because the Tea Party GOP is the United States’ de facto White identity party.

It is far more difficult for white liberals and progressives to look in the proverbial mirror and to take a personal inventory of their own possessive investment in whiteness, and how they reproduce white supremacy as a lived ideology.

Liberal or “aversive” racism is the counterpart to the “symbolic” and “old fashioned” racism practiced by conservatives and the White Right.""

""Now, let’s look at the difference between conservative and liberal racism.

Some might be surprised to learn that when people of color talk about racism amongst ourselves, white liberals often receive a far harsher skewering than white conservatives or overt racists. Many of my POC friends would actually prefer to hang out with an Archie Bunker-type who spits flagrantly offensive opinions, rather than a colorblind liberal whose insidious paternalism, dehumanizing tokenism, and cognitive indoctrination ooze out between superficially progressive words. At least the former gives you something to work with, something above-board to engage and argue against; the latter tacitly insists on imposing and maintaining an illusion of non-racist moral purity which provides little to no room for genuine self-examination or racial dialogue.""

Not 30% of all black people, just 30% of all Americans who use food stamps. But I agree with your post.
