Real black wages are sharply higher under Biden than Trump.

Also, what about selecting a Black vice president and a Black Supreme Court Justice? Does that mean nothing?

How does trotting out two Black people I don’t know from Adam, disrespecting them by making clear that their race is the only reason you chose them despite their amazing credentials, and then giving them jobs help me out? I’m supposed to be grateful because you let a handful of highly qualified Black people shine only after making them out to be affirmative action hires? I absolutely hate how white Democrats talk about Harris and KBJ, and, by extension, every Black person who has gotten somewhere in life.

If you think Harris and KBJ are affirmative action hires, that's a you problem. Were you similarly offended by the nomination and confirmation of Clarence Thomas?

Also, are you a real person, or just a Republican talking point in digital form?

NP. Biden saying he is going to fill these roles only with black women makes it an affirmative action move. Refusing to look at 94% of the population makes them DEI candidates.

Clarence Thomas is eminently qualified. When Biden stated he would choose black women for the roles he made them DEI hires, like it or not.

I know I heard Biden say he would pick a woman as his VP running mate, but he never specified Black. But if you have a cite contemporaneous of the saying, I would appreciate hearing it for myself. TIA

The chart shows that real black wages are down in the period between Trump leaving office and now.

Trump: Black real wages Q1 2017--279, Q4 2021--304. (9 percent increase)

Biden: Q2 2021--304, Q2 2024 (latest date available)--300 (0.3 percent decrease)

Black people need to sit down, shut up, and vote as they are told.

Biden thankfully isn't seeking a second term. Harris is an obvious upgrade from Trump and Biden. Done.

We owe you votes because we’re allegedly getting $10 more per week under Biden? Look at yourself.

The extreme inflation under Biden has really hurt Americans of all color.

Has hurt people on a global scale, since the US Dollar is the basis of world currency.

Both sides of the aisle are run by racist, arrogant white people. So, I’m going with the side that’ll beat back the horde of illegal immigrants, reduce regulations and taxes on my small business, and won’t require me to believe 50 Cent belongs in my wife’s women-only groups if he crams himself into a dress and ugly wig. GTFOH.

You are also supporting the team that panders to groups like Proud Boys. Do you think those white racists will first ask you or your family members if you are Trump supporters before beating your a$$? Congratulations.

I’ve worked in elite NYC, DC, and other blue-city corporate spaces for 20 years. It isn’t the Proud Boys sabotaging Black professionals out of jobs and keeping the halls of power as white as possible. I’d actually respect white liberals more if you’d let loose and scream the N word in the streets along with your Republican relatives than continue your deceitful act posing as friends.

I'm not following the logic here - because you believe some white liberals are still discriminating you would welcome self-professed virulent racists into the halls of power instead?

Read with your eyes, not your issues.

Just stop it Vlad. That was a little too much. You went overboard.

It’s literally impossible to blame Republicans in any way for any of the city’s problems although I’m sure someone on this thread will try. Hundreds of millions of dollars and affirmative action and everything else and yet the city is failing on every single metric.

Black people want safe communities, to start with. Democrats don’t care that the same guy is arrested 100 times. And they don’t care how many people we let into our country to live for free with no vetting whatsoever. Republicans aren’t perfect but at least they want safe communities. And nothing is more important than that.

True. Republicans and Black people all want safe communities— but what they mean by that is probably different.
As for Baltimore, between white flight and losing major employers, — think Rust Belt level of abandonment— many of the city’s entrenched problems are less about politics and more about what happens in a long-time blue collar city when dominant employers leave, although many factors play a part. I actually loved living and working in Baltimore, so perhaps the PP’s “metrics” are somewhat skewed. It’s hard to tell since no details were provided beyond the obligatory MAGA sneer.

Safe communities starts with securing the border. 100% lockdown.
Only vetted people allowed to cross. DMZ military patrolled zone for the rest.
Most people really have no clue how bad it is and how it's spread to many major cities now.

I can’t access the NYT article, so I’ll simply say that without looking at the data, assessing how the sampling was done, and having a good reason to link the data with actual behavior, it’s hard to know whether anyone is “drifting”. I hope they’re at least sampling people who have strong histories of the actually voting.
This Black female will be voting for Harris - Walz.
