Black Voters and Our Relationship with the Democratic Party
An opinion article posted on the Guardian's website discussed Black Americans being in an abusive relationship with the Democratic party. We prefer to say it is an emotionally unavailable relationship. The majority of Black people vote in the U.S. for this party but get little out out it with public policy. It's unfortunate how we cannot vote strategically as a group to demand positive changes with our political system.
As a people, we have to ask a couple of tough questions to ourselves to thrive collectively
Why do you do support and vote for a party and you get little in return?
Why do you support a party that created policies that have harmed instead of helped Black Americans?

Breakfast Club Interview with Joe Biden
Former Vice President Joe Biden was on the Breakfast Club for an interview (finally!) with Charlamagne the God about his campaign. The interview was really interesting but did not surprise us about his comments. It was inappropriate for him to say if Black people do not vote for him (Democratic Party) that we are not Black.
Unfortunately, it is a fear tactic that is used in the political game by both major political parties to get people to vote for them.
If you did not see or hear the interview, the video clip is available on YouTube to check it out.
Black people MUST practice quid pro quo to get the results and solutions we want on our communities. A lot of us are not properly educated about the political process.
How are you winning or experiencing prosperity by voting for a Democrat or Republican candidate in your community or for President? If you answer is based on fear, it shows how it does not benefit you.
We are losing each year and don't realize it. Stop throwing your vote away if you are not getting anything out of it!
