Not actually because I care about politics but democrats don't do anything for people that have voted for many years.

Almost I'm tired of seeing democrats attacking white people all the time. We're all Americans regardless of race and color.

The democratic party now want to include ''reparations'' as part of their platform. But reparations for what?

Slavery/segregation happened many years ago and to keep bringing it up means that the left are attacking white people for something they have little to nothing to do with.

Also as for BLM, I believe that there are genuine concerns with policing in this country but African American males make up six percent of the population and 52 percent of homicide.

Unlike many in my community I grew up poor and fatherless but I didn't let that stop me. I decided to work hard in my education and sports and I am soon to graduate at a top university with a 2:1 degree. I chose this rather than to live a life of poverty and government assistance.

Poverty is tough but it depends on a person's will and desire to succeed and not big government.

I am a non partisan but I strongly encourage my African American brothers and sisters to ask tougher questions of the democratic party and look for alternatives if they are not satisfied. Perhaps embrace the Republican or Libertarian party? What I know for sure is that if African Americans continue to vote unilaterally for one party then the situation will never get better.

GOD BLESS THE USA!

The republicans have been screwing over the whites as much as the democrats have been screwing over the blacks. If you want to see change you have to vote against the agendas of those in power who are screwing you over and most people just don’t have enough wit for that.

So when President Obama spent years trying to get the minimum wage increased, which was blocked by Republicans, how was that not helping African Americans, when 22% of them live in poverty?



When President Obama rescued the country from the Great Recession, cutting the unemployment rate from 10% to 4.7% over six years, how was that not helping African Americans, who suffer from the highest unemployment rates.?



When President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act which provided health insurance to over 20 million uninsured Americans, how was that not helping African Americans?



When President Obama commuted the sentences of nearly 1200 drug offenders to reverse “unjust and outdated prison sentences” which targeted African Americans, how was that not helping African Americans?



When President Obama saved the American auto industry, are you suggesting only white Americans make cars?



When President Obama's measures dropped the veteran homeless rate by 50% and increased Department of Veteran Affairs funding, and implemented a $78 billion tuition assistance GI bill, do you think only white Americans serve in the military?



Are you seriously trying to suggest that improved school nutrition with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act only benefitted white kids?



Compared to a President, you claim to support, a man who said that "good people" march along side those carrying KKK and Nazi flags. You support a man who won't denounce the KKK.



Just tell me one measure President Trump has taken in the last 17 months which has helped African Americans?



How attempting to repeal Obamacare and as that failed to now defund it will help African Americans?



If you are an African American, which I doubt as you hide behind anonymity, I suggest you look up Stockholm syndrome and seek treatment.

Why wouldnt you? Many are finally escaping the democrat plantation and are realizing whats really going on.



Already we have:

Black home ownership has now reached the highest in the HISTORY of the U.S.

Black unemployment rate has reached the lowest in HISTORY under Trump.
