Serious Question: Why do Black People Generally Vote Democratic?
Posted by: Political Question ()

Actually, I should not say generally, but rather in most cases. This is a serious question, though.

* Fact: Lincoln (a Republican) led the freedom of the slaves.

* Fact: Lyndon B. Johnson (a Democrat) generated hundreds of social programs in the mid-60s. However, LBJ also was quoted as saying, "When we're done here, those n****** will be voting Democratic for the next 200 years".

So, what's the deal here?

Because they're ignorant. The "Black leaders" like to maintain power, and since the Democrats have given them such power for quite a while now, they will do whatever is necessary to further enforce the black community's dependence upon them (Welfare, basically).

Because the entire conservative movement is a scam to defend the status quo of land-owning white males. Take a look at the last Republican administration. They did a good job at proving how they don't support smaller government, how they don't support individual freedoms, and how they don't support fiscal responsibility, which are pretty much the cornerstones of conservative politics and rhetoric.

Instead they focus on taking advantage of the most ignorant and selfish elements of our society [tea party] by peddling fear, disinformation, and graft [fox news].

Maybe "black people in general" learned a historical lesson about that status quo of white, land-owning males.

All propaganda. All applies equally to the Democrats. Just replace "Tea Party" with "Black People".

And just to set the record straight, Lincoln hated black people, used the N-word all the time to describe them, told lots of racial jokes, and cooked up a scheme to deport them all the Africa. He didn't start the Civil War to free black people, he did it to cement the power of the central government. And the Gettysburg Address came very late in the war when he needed a cause to rally political support. Lincoln was guilty of multiple war crimes and violations of the Constitution, but historians rate our presidents based on how many deaths they are responsible for; the more the better. Lincoln gets a two-fer, since all the people he killed were Americans, no foreigners required for that stupid war.

The Republican and Democrat Parties are basically the same, just two different wings of the Statist Party, a tag team of jackoffs.

African Americans have statistically been Democratic since the Civil Rights movement, during a time in which the status quo Republican defended segregation. Before that, during the 19th century, African Americans supported the Republican party, due largely to Lincoln's actions.

Pick up a history book and learn for yourself, the comments like "black people are ignorant so they vote democratic" and "Lincoln hated black people" are just idiotic.

Eesh, Lincoln basically held the typical racist attitudes of the time. He did encourage repatriation of blacks to Liberia.

The civil rights bills were opposed by southern dems and were passed with more repub support, the exception being opposition from Barry Goldwater who had a similar constitutional issue with the act as Rand Paul addressed recently- ie "your property is yours to rent or sell to whoever you feel". I don't believe there was the level of dem opposition to Jim Crow as there was from the rwpubs, but I don't know the actual numbers.

Don't forget also that while Nixon was pushing for affirmative action, he was opposed by dem George Wallace who ran on a platform of maintaining segregation.

The Southern Strategy we hear of has never been repub endorsement of segregation or discrimination, but appeal to those disaffected white voters who feel the party too northern or liberal or who oppose forced school bussing or even ironically the quotas and affirmative action prograns Nixon himself initiated.

Have the dems or repubs ever truly helped a specific racial group? No, it's all a charade for fundraising and voter turnout.

It all has to do with their interpretation of the constitution. Jefferson was for a decentralized federal government with the states having the majority of the control but the federalists are generally for big government, businesses, and binding federal policies. So, I guess, in general republicans are for the country (businesses), and democrats are for the state (which in this case the minority).

I don't buy the rewrite that the Civil War was about federalism and states rights more than slavery. I also don't buy that primary goal of freeing the slaves was based on a belief in equality and altruism.

With policies like cap and trade, guaranteed to raise energy prices across the board, it is a wonder.

Obama Administration Digs in Heels on Energy Regulations as American People Hope Their Heat Will Last All Winter
http://www.nationalcenter.org/P21PR-Heat_121310.html
Washington, D.C. – As winter weather already grips portions of the United States, the need for cheap and efficient power for heat and light is essential. Deneen Borelli, a fellow with the Project 21 black leadership network, points out that the Obama Administration's continued war on fossil fuels that is making the guarantee of a comfortable winter increasingly bleak for the nation's poorest citizens.

"With millions of Americans unemployed and struggling to keep their homes warm, the need for government assistance will only increase. Heavy demand and higher prices due to the Obama Administration's assault on the fossil fuels we rely upon are going to stretch charities to their limits and beyond," noted Project 21's Borelli. "It's disgraceful that the first black president and the first black EPA administrator are advancing policies that will preferentially harm blacks who overwhelmingly supported Obama."

In a speech in late November to the Aspen Institute, EPA administrator Lisa Jackson demonized the private sector and strongly defended the Obama Administration's decision to regulate "greenhouse gas" emissions without having specific Congressional authority to regulate these emissions...

that is ridiculous. The price of energy has nothing to do with Cap and trade or the administration. It has to do with what the free markets are trading at. IE whatever OPEC decides to maintain levels of output or stocks of crude in emerging countries as well as the US or whatever the price of oil is bought and sold at depending on the strength of the dollar. Its the commodities traders that set the prices of OIL and fuel. NOT the administration. Goldman Sachs the recovery has been led by emerging market countries, with the U.S. oil market lagging," Goldman said in a report. "Inventories outside the U.S. have largely returned to more normal levels while U.S. oil inventories have only recently begun to draw."

Goldman expects crude to average $100 next year and $110 in 2012.

"World oil demand came roaring back in 2010," Goldman said. "The world oil market recovery will be increasingly evident in the United States in 2011, giving the market a recovery it can see and believe in."

Hey dickwad - when you make it so coal is no longer affordable to use for power plants - the main point of cap and trade - then oil use will have to go up as well. We don't have a large solar array or huge wind farms (and we won't any time within the next 50 years). So cap and trade will cause huge up-spikes in energy costs that have little to do with oil, and everything to do with COAL. But of course, your enlightened, too stupid to understand anything "which is why you retired brain" would not pick up on that.

The market fluctuations on oil prices certainly have some impact, but nothing like what will happen if cap and trade is enacted - and nothing to do with the previous link I posted.

and your post has nothing to do with my african americans overwhelmingly vote democrat. You are just for some bizarre reason welding your political economic views onto a discussion that Cap and trade have nothing to do with. You yourself JUST SAID "IF cap and trade is enacted" how would that IF translate into something that is happening NOW? It would NOT. So go back to the conservative think tank from where you came and come up with a better argument than Cap and trade and try again. By the way I am not retired. Far from it. I dont know where you got that from either.

I asked several of my black friends why the vote democrat and the answer was almost always the same because they do some much for the black community. If you ask a union worker the same question you get the same answer. Also they say that the big fat cat republican are always taken there money. Read what you want into these statement. I think it has alot to do with education. The public schools paint a cloudy picture when it comes to which party did what.

The point, again beyond your comprehension evidently, is that Democrats policies (other then the 'concept' of welfare) rarely have anything to do with the health and well being of the poor. They make a grand show of how they will play like robin hood to take from the rich to fund their incessant spending - but the reality is, their policies are generally NOT for the health and well being of poor people. Who, by the way, are disproportionately represented by black people. Cap and trade WILL hurt the poor, no doubt, much more then folks with money.

Again, it begs into question why Democrats do get so much support, and one of the main reasons falls back to the welfare state. Bill Clinton was the 'first black president'... right up until Obama was elected - and if you ever looked into what Clinton ever did for blacks that got him so much endearment, no one could ever really enumerate anything substantial. Just that he 'cared'.

Other than the health and well being of the poor? Are you kidding me? Support of the Unions, Support for tax breaks for working class and middle class and raising taxes on the rich, proper regulation of markets and have you heard of Health care reform? Large corporations cannot deny a patient health care because of pre-existing conditions? That is not socialized medicine. Its Health care REFORM. The republican/conservative stance is social stasis, to keep the rich and elite in power and let the wealth "trickle down" is ludicrous. The democratic party stands for social equality not some class based elite. The economic stasis that funnels ALL the profits to the rich and keeps it that way is the basis for the Republican policies.

Wingnut, before Registered Voter derailed the thread, you were talking about southern Democrats being against civil rights. I think you are referring to Dixiecrats, which didn't last long back in the day.

STFU eesh, you are the biggest derailers of threads other than Misery on the board.

When Democrats enact policies that are inimical to poor people (and sorry, but Unions do not represent poor people, they represent their upper management) it makes little sense, OTHER than hand-out programs, for blacks to support Democrats.

The likelihood is, if you follow the money you will find the answers to why. Such as folks like Jesse Jackson and others who get their pockets lined, while they line up the masses to follow the party line.

Yeah, kinda like health insurance executives are some of the biggest supporters of the Tea Party movement. Indeed, let's follow the money and see who is being led blind.

You mean, the same guys that actually WROTE the health care changes for the Democrats. Um yeah, it will probably lead you right to the folks who are pushing this BS on us - most of them sitting in the lawyers lobby and the health insurance industry.

The majority of Americans who have health insurance pay a higher price because of our broken system. Every insured family pays an average of $1,000 more a year in premiums to cover the care of those who have no insurance

The Dixiecrats were post WWII. The dem opposition in 1964 was pretty wide, this is the breakdown of the votes party by party--

By party
The original House version:
Democratic Party: 152-96 (61%-39%)
Republican Party: 138-34 (80%-20%)
Cloture in the Senate:
Democratic Party: 44-23 (66%–34%)
Republican Party: 27-6 (82%–18%)
The Senate version:
Democratic Party: 46-21 (69%–31%)
Republican Party: 27-6 (82%–18%)
The Senate version, voted on by the House:
Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%–37%)
Republican Party: 136-35 (80%–20%)

There was probably more repub opposition than I thought, but percentage wise, the dems voting agains the legislation was substantial, repubs approved the legislation by at least 80% on all votes, house and senate, dems never broke 70% support, which is pretty pathetic.

Don't believe any of the often stated bullshit that the dems are the party of the working man and the minority. Their promises are as shallow and empty as those made by the repubs to the religious right. Neither party really does shit for either of these groups but they will continue to bamboozle and court these voting groups as if they do.
