A Sleeping Giant Awakens, Black Voters Coming To Trump Could Spell Doom For Democrats In 2020

The Democrat Party has had a stranglehold on the black vote for decades, but President Donald Trump is putting that in danger.

Eventually, no matter how many media voices you have telling people one thing, those people start to see the truth.

And the truth is that the Democrats have taken the black vote for granted for decades, ignoring the issues that face many black voters.

I wouldn't call them Sleeping Giants.  They do not have that much stroke.

Instead, I would refer to it like "The slaves are leaving the Democrat plantation".

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
The reality? Blacks don't have a chance of keeping what voice they have in the Democrat Party, simply because the Democrats are loading the plantation with people from south of the border. The same demographics which are changing the face of the Sanctuary States and others will doom the Blacks to being the minor minority.
Fifty years of Charlatans and Socialist suck-ups in Office have done nothing for Blacks, and they know it.

Besides, the idea that you CAN do something to make your lot better is far more seductive than the pantloads of excuses for why people will never amount to anything.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The DNC have nobody to blame this on but themselves. They pretty much abandoned the black vote in favor of the more numerous His and Her Panic vote,and the blacks are steamed about it.

I disagree. 50 years of being sold out by their religious leaders and politicians telling them they didn't have to get educations,hold jobs,or be responsible for any crime they committed has put them in a worse position than they were after the Civil War ended. The end result was generations of blacks that HAD been hardworking industrious people were encouraged to lay around on their asses and do nothing to advance themselves because the DNC was going to "take care of them". You really can't blame people for taking advantage of a situation like that after it is offered to them. Most people,regardless of race or background will take the easy way out 9 times out of 10. It's just human nature.

This worked for them for decades,and then the Dims looked around and discovered there were more His and Her Panics in America than blacks,and went after their votes by offering "special citizen minority status" to them,just like they did with the blacks. It mostly didn't work with the ones that came here before the 60's because they mostly came here to work hard and better themselves. It wasn't until the 80's that the communist His and Her Panics started showing up as they lost power in South and Central America,and were recruited to come here and agitate by communists like the "Mary Knoll" Catholics,who were looking for government money themselves as they got paid the new refugees to speak English,how to apply for welfare benefits,etc,etc,etc.

Truth to tell,I am not so sure even now that the majority of the people from South of our Border are even buying into that crap today. After all,most left their home nation to AVOID poverty and improve their positions in life. I suspect this is more a case of "the squeaky wheel" (communists) getting the attention" than anything real.

Face it,the majority of the immigrants from down south HAVE worked hard and became successful and proud Americans. It's only the uber rich and the uber poor who are protesting. The vast middle-class are enjoying the life they have now,and have no interest in revolution.

This notion about "a black electoral shift" has been popping up regularly in the past few months.

I'll believe it when I see it on November 3, 2020.
Until then, I consider this subject "vapornews"...

(I'd very much enjoy being proven wrong about this, but I call 'em as I see 'em)

The blacks are getting their own kind of 'woke'. Sure, there are the vocal victim bunch, but there are a lot of blacks who recognize the problems in the hoods are the result of bad policy and decades of promises that go unfulfilled while the usual suspects are living large. Far too many dead young blacks in the cities for the problems to be ignored, and too many for the people who live there to see that the solutions proffered often only exacerbate the problems.

Keep in mind that the image of black people in the media runs from extreme negative to middlin', with 'success' portrayed in strange ways on the tube. I wonder what the percentage is on Middle Class Blacks, either in trades or professionals.
