Stephen A. Smith makes a suggestion

[Tom]

You ignore the fact that blacks have absolutely zero reason to vote Republican unless they personally stand to gain more from tax cuts than they do from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Pell Grants, and other federal safety net programs.

So's yo plan is to keeps 'em shackled and quiet by keepin' 'em dee-pendent on da gubbernmint? You is 'zactly what the man is talkin' 'bout, Stinky. 'zactly.

Your view of Black America is pretty disgusting.
I bet you don't eat peanuts out of spite.

Because if you cut taxes, you have to cut into these programs.

This quote is pretty telling...and disturbing...

If CurtisOnTheBay had written it, you lefties would be all over him calling him a racist...again....

But it's ok when a lefty states such things...nice world you live in.

What's disturbing is that the GOP perpetually wants to cut taxes that will, in turn, cut entitlements no matter what the repercussions to people in need.

What's disturbing was your post, which was more racist than anything any conservative wrote in here.

The real question is if the vast majority of everyone gain by less taxes? To open up jobs for those who want to work, forget those who do not. Leave race out of it completely, reward those who choose the right path and work hard to raise a family.

Must be a god idea - the deflection crew is out in force to try to change the topic. Special nod to Dan, who really pulled all the stop to try to deflect everything ever posted rather than address the idea.

But no one is really surprised.

"From what I’ve read, Barry Goldwater is going against Lyndon B. Johnson. He’s your Republican candidate; he is completely against the civil rights movement. Lyndon B. Johnson was in favor of it — civil rights legislation,” Smith explained.

“What happens is, he wins office, Barry Goldwater loses office, but there was a Senate, a Republican Senate, that pushed the votes to the president’s desk. It was the Democrats who were against civil rights legislation — the southern Dixiecrats. So because President Lyndon B. Johnson was a Democrat, black America assumed the Democrats were for it.”



"there was a Senate, a Republican Senate"..Dems controlled the senate from1955-1981

Democrats who were against civil rights legislation —[B] the southern Dixiecrats....The racist Dixiecrats were the only Dems to oppose the bill they are now racist republicans.

"black America assumed the Democrats were for it.”No Blacks understood the realpolitik of the racist southern strategy employed by republicans and reacted appropriately.

1/5/15: Back in the 1400's I bet slavery was not something to be thought of to be a totally bad thing. I mean imaging living in Africa before the days of electricity or anything modern we have today. You may live to be 20 or 30 if you are lucky living in a hostile jungle full of disease, bugs and wild animals that come to eat you at night. Hell then they get to live in a well developed civilized European white society that took care of them but the only catch is that they have to work all day. I bet the reality is that a lot of them were saying please sign me up - I want that gig. You really have to think of the times they lived in back then not the times we live in now to realize about what slavery really was back in those times. You have to use the perspective of those times not these times when talking about slavery. Back then living in jungles like animals in squalor and having absolutely no technical or intellectual achievement why should not the Europeans think that they on the level of monkeys?



Note how the mouth breathing bigots call racism on NJ's post but don't say a mumbling word when blatant racist thrash like that is posted.Game-set and match.

Look at every budget that the gang who can't govern, the so-called Grand Old Party, has proposed. Slashes to any aid that can be given to the middle class, slashes in education, no funding to improve infrastructure, cuts to Medicare. Only to not add small tax to high income earners.


Blacks may or may not be moving to the right, but they are certainly losing faith in the left. Look at the trend of black voter turnout in the 3 elections since 2008. Especially in 2014 when Obama, much to the dismay of his party, proudly announced that it was his policies that were on the ballot.

Anything more than less than .002% movement to the right is outrageous and hype from the right. The 2014 election was representative of voter apathy. It was midterm election, traditionally smaller than a general election turnout - only 31% of eligible voters participated in 2014 and in mostly states that are gerrymandered to the hilt in favor of the GOP. Deducing that the GOP won 51% of the 31% equates to 15.91% of all voters. Wait 'til 2016!

What is the point of reposting a lot of trash that the guy got banned for? What does it prove except that that crap isn't tolerated here?

So, do the vast majority of blacks stand to gain by voting for the GOP?

(Heck, can any majority in any race afford to vote Republican?

Both whites and blacks receive benefits from those programs. Yet some people can see why the republicans are correct.

The issue is that most of those programs are technically insolvent if you calculate the net present value of the future promises. So everyone stands to benefit if the growth of these programs is slowed down now to the rate of GDP growth or thereabouts. (they will never be cut except if we don't slow the growth now and are forced to later). If I can see that and am capable of thinking long term, so can many blacks.

Who is this "Snickster", why don't you mention him by his REAL name? Do you suppose that he deserves protection?

How about better educational opportunities? Your party's de facto racism in the name of keeping the NEA happy is disgusting. Continue to rob minority kids of a decent education, and I'm sure they'll continue to vote for government largess. Well done.
