Summary

The article discusses the Democratic Party's perceived failure to address the needs and concerns of Black voters, leading to significant electoral losses and a call for Black Americans to reassess their political allegiances.

Abstract

The author of the article argues that the Democratic Party has been losing elections due to its neglect of the Black community, which has historically been a strong voter base for the party. The piece suggests that the Democrats' disregard for Black voters' priorities, such as reparations and substantive dialogue with Black leaders, has resulted in a lack of support from this demographic. The author points out instances where the party has seemingly prioritized other groups over Black Americans, citing the Biden Administration's consideration of compensating illegal immigrants while remaining silent on reparations for Black Americans. The article calls for Black people to recognize that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans genuinely have their best interests at heart and advocates for Black Americans to focus on solving their own community's issues independently.

Here’s why the Democrats are losing America.

Black people are sick and tired of their lies.

The Democratic Party is getting their butts kicked. The Democrats have been losing very big in a lot of these elections that are occurring all over the country. Now, a lot of people feel that the reason the Democrats are getting their butts kicked is that they continue to ignore their Black voter base. They lost states that they’re used to winning; they almost lost places that they would win. It’s really interesting because what I’m surprised by is the fact that the Democrats didn’t have experts on their team who couldn’t see the writing on the wall. They were blinder than Ray Charles when it came to understanding what was coming. I was just sitting here thinking that perhaps maybe I was the crazy one who say something that wasn’t real. I thought maybe that I was trippin’ that I assume that they knew more about their party than I do but obviously, that’s not true. Everything that happened in these elections is what I expected.

Now did they deserve to get their asses kicked? Absolutely! They have been so disrespectful to the Black community, it’s ridiculous. And my thought is that if you are dissing Black people in that way, then you must have a Plan B. Because if you disrespected me, then you ain’t getting my vote. Sorry “Massa” Biden. I know you got some of these people that love you, especially those negro puppets that are around you, and they want to be your friend, but I don’t want to be your friend. I truly care nothing about being buddies with “Jim Crow” Joe Biden. If you disrespect me, then I’m not going to give you what you want from me.

Remember this? This dude, a white man, really had the audacity of questioning someone’s Blackness if we didn’t vote for him. Or when he decides to ignore Black people like Dr. Claud Anderson, who’s been fighting for Foundational Black Americans to receive reparations or Ice Cube with his “Contract for Black America.” He doesn’t want to speak to Black people with real solutions and real questions to offer but would talk to people who don’t present solutions to our plight like Cardi B all day — who’s not even a Foundational Black American by the way. To go even deeper, you got this crazy situation where, reportedly, the Biden Administration is in discussion to pay out an estimate of $450,000 to illegal immigrants who were separated from their families across the border. They want to pay people who don’t even live here but don’t want to pay the people who were responsible for building this country. Now, if you are an immigrant and have a problem with what I said, just ask this question: If I tried to break into your country illegally and then they detained me, and they separated me from my child, would they pay me half a million dollars? Would they pay me even $50,000? I mean, seriously, are these people smoking crack or something? Black people have been asking for reparations for years and they are quick to send out money to Afghans, Asians, the LGBT community, but when it comes to Black Americans, we get symbolic nothings. They won’t even say the word “reparations.” These people have really gotten cocky. They feel like they have Black people in their pockets. They feel like Black people are stupid and to be honest, they’re not completely incorrect because we do have some stupid Black people within our community. Some Black people will vote for certain people no matter what even though they offer you nothing of substance. Last year’s election once again proved that when the Democrat's greatest weapon to control Black people was using the fear of Donald Trump. So by basically focusing on Donald Trump, the Democrats were able to ignore every relevant issue within the Black community.

Black people, it’s time we get out of this Democrat and Republican nonsense. These people continue to show us that they don’t have our best interest at heart and we shouldn’t expect them to change their ways. We have to focus on fixing our own problems. We can do it!
