People across the board are sick and tired of the out of the control crime like car jackings and shootings that have skyrocketed under Biden and are a result of local policies enacted by the Democrats. All too often that crime is occurring in black neighborhoods. That and the massive influx of illegal immigrants that have been pouring into the country courtesy of Biden and the Democrats is causing a significant erosion in the confidence of Dems to be able to govern. People want law and order and oour borders to be restored.

It is almost inevitable Trump is going to win. He is leading Biden by double digits now.

our policies continue to screw low wage African Americans.  and we have known this for decades.

people need good jobs to thrive in our capitalism

The 1980-2000 immigrant influx, therefore, generally 'explains' about 20 to 60 percent of the decline in wages, 25 percent of the decline in employment, and about 10 percent of the rise in incarceration rates among blacks with a high school education or less

Almost everybody knows that in the past 40 years, the real wages and job prospects for low-skilled men, especially low-skilled minority workers, have fallen. And there is evidence, that a rising tide of immigration is  to blame. Now, a new NBER study suggests that immigration has more far-reaching consequences than merely depressing wages and lowering employment rates of low-skilled African-American males: its effects also appear to push some would-be workers into crime and, later, into prison.

When the supply of workers goes up, the price that firms have to pay to hire workers goes down. Wage trends over the past half-century suggest that a 10 percent increase in the number of workers with a particular set of skills probably lowers the wage of that group by at least 3 percent.

Immigration redistributes wealth from those who compete with immigrants to those who use immigrants—from the employee to the employer.

Democrats have abandoned US workers.

It really is a sad statement on our country in 2023 that we still have a huge part of the citizenry denying that slavery was a major reason for the war.

I also find it laughable that DeSantis is calling her out, when his state has walked back the talk of slavery in history books.

This upcoming election really just might be my last straw with this idiocracy.

We do not have a "huge" part of our citizenry denying that slavery was the primary cause of The Civil War. That's similar to saying there is a huge portion of our citizenry that don't believe there was a Holocaust in WW2. You are watching too much cable news and/or assuming that a few loud mouth radical politicians are representing the beliefs of a majority of their electorate if you truly believe a significant percentage of the US population does not acknowledge slavery as the primary cause of The Civil War. There are bigoted idiots walking around among us but they aren't anywhere close to making up a huge portion of our population.

If you don’t vote for Biden you’re not a real black.

I think it is important that remember that many black people are very conservative traditionally. Black churches can be considered some of the most conservative places in America. Also, there is certainly a competitive dynamic between black communities and growing communities of Hispanics and Asians. Depending on where these polls are taken can have a huge impact.

Blacks are more cost sensitive and have higher rates of diabetes than whites

From the cdc:

For both men and women, prevalence of diagnosed diabetes was highest among American Indian and Alaska Native adults (13.6%), followed by non-Hispanic Black adults (12.1%), adults of Hispanic origin (11.7%), non-Hispanic Asian adults (9.1%) and non-Hispanic White adults (6.9%) (Appendix Table 3).

Well this is an embarrassing question.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was asked Wednesday by a New Hampshire voter about the reason for the Civil War, and she didn’t mention slavery in her response — leading the voter to say he was “astonished” by her omission.

Asked during a town hall in Berlin, New Hampshire, what she believed had caused the war — the first shots of which were fired in her home state of South Carolina — Haley talked about the role of government, replying that it involved “the freedoms of what people could and couldn’t do.”

She then turned the question back to the man who had asked it, who replied that he was not the one running for president and wished instead to know her answer.

After Haley went into a lengthier explanation about the role of government, individual freedom and capitalism, the questioner seemed to admonish Haley, saying, “In the year 2023, it’s astonishing to me that you answer that question without mentioning the word slavery.”

“What do you want me to say about slavery?” Haley retorted, before abruptly moving on to the next question.

Really? Diabetes is an epidemic in the African-American community. If you don't know this, look it up.

NEW: Black Lives Matter Rhode Island co-founder Mark Fisher is supporting Donald Trump for the 2024 election because Democrats are “not for us.”

Didn't see that one coming 🔥🔥

“We’re not stupid. The brothers are not stupid. We understand when someone's for us and when someone is not and it's obvious that the Democratic party is not for us.”

“A lot of people are misinformed. They don't really understand because they don't educate themselves on Donald Trump as a person and his history.”

“Personally I love the man. I mean, how could you not like a real man? How could you not relate to someone like that?”

I'm sure he was compensated very well for that

This is FAKE news. This guy is not affiliated in any way with the actual Black Lives Matter movement. Trump and Trumpsters are lying as usual.

Ah, facts. Republicans have only a passing familiarity with these, and that faded in the 70s.
