Possibly More Racists Voting For Obama than Against Him

Heheh, glad someone else noticed that, much like the GOP's Religious Right, the Democrats have pandered to minorities for years and provided very little in return for their votes.

It's funny that people like MadSkillz claim that the GOP has been shafting minorities for years when in fact, it's been the Democrats who have been shafting them. After all, most minorities aren't voting GOP, they're voting Democrat. And they continue to get shit on by the party in return for that loyalty.

Rocketpig, can you name any programs that the GOP has done for blacks? Seriously - they shun blacks and don't even try and hide it. At least the Dems try to make attempts to help blacks. There's no doubt blacks get shafted all over the place, and now, there's a Dem who's black and has a real chance at the White House and folks call it racism. Unbelieveable.

The GOP has written off blacks completely. They have actually cut programs that would help children (Headstart, SCHIP), pretty much axed Social Security and expect folks to make enough to contribute to their 401K. And wasn't it a GOPer - Madame Bush - who said the Katrina victims were better off? And another jackass said 'Folks in New Orleans should have gassed up their SUVs, grabbed their spring water and left.' There is such a disconnect among GOPers toward minorities, but especially blacks. And as a black man, I have a blast explaining why I'll never vote GOP.

In the end, McCain isn't wasting his time, as well as the GOP, courting blacks. From Nixon to Bush, they've never got the black vote, always Dems.

OT: Obama gets a lot of the black vote because he connects with a message for blacks. Hillary can't. If she steals the nomination, you can bet your bottom dollar blacks won't vote period. The candidate with the most delegates and the popular vote wins. If the supers don't want riots, they'll get the candidate who wins.

If Hillary gets it fair and square, I'll support the Dems and vote for her. If not and she steals the nomination, look out.

Shocking. The party that generally doesn't pull the minority vote doesn't cater to minorities. In other breaking news, the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.

You missed my point. Minorities, by and large, vote Democrat. Yet the Democratic party continually gives lip service to minorities and then when in office, goes on their merry way and ignores them.

At least the Republican party just straight up ignores them. That's better than pandering to them for a vote and then fucking them over once in office.

Then again, the GOP does the exact same thing to the Religious Right. Ah, God bless the Republic.
