Disappointment in Obama leads some African Americans to ask: Is voting even worth it?
Robert Samuels


During those two electric Novembers, the chance to elect a black president, and then keep him in office, seized Regenia Motley’s neighborhood.

Nightclubs were registering voters. Churches held fish fries after loading buses that ferried parishioners to the polls. A truck hoisted a big sign that said “Obama.” And residents waited in long lines at precincts across the community.

But as Motley and some friends sought shade recently under a mulberry tree and looked across the landscape of empty lots and abandoned houses that has persisted here, they wondered whether they would ever bother voting again.

“What was the point?” asked Motley, 23, a grocery store clerk. “We made history, but I don’t see change.”

On Jacksonville’s north side and in other struggling urban neighborhoods across the country, where Barack Obama mobilized large numbers of new African American voters who were inspired partly by the emotional draw of his biography, high hopes have turned to frustration: Even a black president was unable to heal places still gripped by violence, drugs and joblessness.

Hold that thought. It will all be over soon, and none of us will live to see the experiment any time soon.

Over and over the adage "you can't make chicken salad, out of chicken sh!te" is proven.

Telling people with 85 IQs that they should get the same results as those with 100 IQs, and that if they don't it is whitey's fault can't help but yield continuing trouble.

No community pool of your own? No problem. Just go take one.

The afternoon newsbreaker story was that Baltimore DA Mosby ordered the PD to crack down on drugs, at exactly the intersection where they arrested the guy.

She and her people be so friggin stupid, they think we won't discover that !!

The GOP is offering jobs and school choice.  The rats are offering a cycle of dependency, record incarceration, and riots.
Come back to the party of Lincoln

That bright rising lib star Mosby is about ready to say that it is racist and really is George Bush fault. Cannot fix stupid no matter how much affirmative action one uses?

I truly hope that more and more blacks come to the conclusion that it's not worth voting.

The more black self-disenfranchisement that occurs, the better off America will be.

It's the sole reason they are desperately stoking the racial fires.  Can you imagine what it's going to be like in the Summer of 2016, with the election coming up?

They need to get them off their a$$es  "one more time!"

Considering the rampant fraud that seems to go on, I'd probably say no, since their vote will probably be counted for the Democrat whether it's cast or not.

Yeah, I would agree.  They don't even have to leave the house anymore.

Consider this. Mandatory voter registration combined with mandatory voting.

Once everyone is 'in the system', the government could simply vote 'for you'.
Without you even knowing it happened.

The same as they do with dead people.

This Dem push to mandate that everyone is in the system has a purpose. And it is not anything good. They can't vote for you if they do not know who you are. Once they get you on the grid, then they can do whatever they want.

Voting is just another thing the government wants to handle 'for you'. You don't have to worry about it. We will take care of it for you.

The government today is a government for the government, of the government, and by the government.

We the People are just an annoyance to them, and are to be ignored and controlled.

You're exactly right, 240B!

This latest scam of Hillary Clinton asking for $1 dollar?   You have to provide your address and email address.

You know damned well that they will cast a vote...or three...in that name come November 2016

This latest scam of Hillary Clinton asking for $1 dollar?   You have to provide your address and email address.

That $1 dollar scam is pretty well known on the internet. Once they get you, they got you. More than name, address, email, birthday, etc...they also get a payment method. The $1 dollar scam is pretty famous.

The most famous site who uses this scam is FreeCreditReport.com. They pretend to give you something ostensibly 'free', but they get your credit card and then start debiting it on their own.

But yes, your general idea is on target. Illegals and Blacks, in general, do no like to 'register' for anything. That is why they want to make it mandatory.

So, apparently, from what we are told, Black people are incapable of getting an ID, and yet, they would be able to register to vote?

Anyone who can figure that one out should let me know how that works?

And you can bet your LAST dollar that the so-called hackers of EVERY current Federal employee, EVERY retired Federal employee and EVERY person that ever was a federal employee....they were NOT Chinese or Russian.

They were Democrats.  Rats creating a database for fraudulent ballots to be cast in upcoming elections.

It's imperative that EVERYBODY needs a photo ID to vote.  And it had better be in place by the election in 2016.
