Black Voters are Abandoning the Democratic Party. Where Will They Go?

  Opinion (newsweek.com) 

 But first we digress: Below: Scariest Pro-Trump Video to Date - The Black Sphere

Kevin Jackson, 2024 The Black Sphere . . ."I mentioned this a while back, as I explain that the Left’s incessant attacks on Trump actually hurt Democrats with the black vote. I wrote:

Their targeting of Trump provided a wake-up call to blacks. No longer were black people the only victims of profiling and discrimination. Blacks discovered that former ex-president billionaire Republicans suffer the same fate of the oppressed Negro. Yes, Democrats actually exposed the game. They target and oppress anybody who won’t further the narrative set by the Party of Oppression.

"The video by Newsmax has gone viral. But it will have much farther reach, particularly now that Trump himself is promoting it." . . .

"The 2024 election cycle is heating up as it becomes increasingly clear that the nation will once again be choosing between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in the race for the White House. Of particular interest this season is the declining support for Biden among Black voters, a critical constituency that helped him win in 2020.

"Current polling shows that while Biden still enjoys considerable support among Black voters overall, with 73 percent preferring him over Trump, his backing drops significantly among Black voters under 34—to just 60 percent. Interestingly enough, 28 percent of this group support Trump.

"Given the reality that Black Americans have supported Democrats at percentages exceeding 90 percent in days past, it is clear this new trend has placed quite an obstacle in the president's path to reelection.

"The obvious question is: Why is this happening?

"For starters, the Biden administration has largely neglected Black voters' concerns since taking office in 2021. Yet Biden has championed other groups of Americans, such as migrants and the LGBTQ community. Indeed, even Ukraine seems to get more attention from the Biden administration than African Americans

"The president has essentially signaled that he cares more for the plight of people in foreign countries than addressing domestic issues that affect the Black community." . . .

Light A Candle commented: "He’s not exaggerating. Here are major areas where the majority of Black Americans differ from white Democrats:"

  • Funded policing, per Gallup “Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence“, “Seventy-nine percent of those who have had an interaction with the police in the past 12 months say they want the police to spend more or the same amount of time in their neighborhood”.

  • Immigration, per Gallup: 84% of Black Americans favor “Tightening security at U.S. borders” and 82% favor “Requiring business owners to check the immigration status of workers they hire”.

  • School Choice, per Harvard EdNext: “School choice divides the Democratic Party along racial and ethnic lines. African American Democrats support targeted school vouchers, universal vouchers, and charter schools at 70%, 60%, and 55%, respectively.”

  • Affirmative Action, per Pew, less than half of Black Americans approve of AA in college admissions. The only demographic approving in the majority are white Democrats. In addition, more Black Americans feel AA has ultimately disadvantaged them personally than has helped them. And 28% percent (!) of Black American adults feel they have personally unfairly benefited from AA.

  • Voter ID, Rasmussen Reports found 69% of Black Americans support it.
