* Maybe some are aware of George Soros, his funding of “black lives matter,” amongst other organizations, and perhaps are aware of the notion that some Jews like Soros use blacks as pawns to forward a globalist agenda at black folks expense?
You never see too many Jews confronting the police in places like Ferguson, but they pay to bus out of state poor blacks down there to get their asses kicked. Perhaps some black folks consequently feel that some Jewish people in positions of power can be a bit clannish, and manipulative, to reach goals not necessarily great for blacks in the long run.
* I don’t know who has designated the Democratic Party as “the black party,” but it is certainly quantitatively and qualitatively defensible to assert that Democrats have a white people problem.
After all, no Democrat has won a majority of white votes since 1964. Romney arguably lost what should have been a shoe-in because his unlikability failed to motivate voters. (Apart from the absence of a third-party diversion, there were many similarities to the 1996 election.) The white turnout in 2012 was lower than the black turnout for the first time in history, and if so many black felons weren’t ineligible to vote the differential would have been even more staggering.
Then we should keep in mind the black male vote fell from 94% Democratic in 2008 to 80% in 2012. In 2012 Obama won 92 or 93 percent of the overall black vote ONLY because of higher turnout among black women (not hard: once again, there are fewer women than men in jail for major felonies) AND an increase in their share from 93 to 96 percent, which can easily be explained by 1. simpler folk more easily falling for the “war on women” rhetoric, and 2. sex appeal. (On this latter point: my Catholic school alumna and staunchly anti-ERA mother once explained Kennedy’s 1960 victory as such: “Catholics and females” [Mom could of course have added “vote fraud” but let’s keep things simple]. A similar operative was at work in 2012.)
Your point about the 1980s and the centrists casting the blacks off to the left is well-taken, but it is also true that so long as Democrats are competing with Democrats for the black vote it’s a win-win situation. If however the black vote falls below 90% for the Democrats, and if white turnout re-surges as it seems it will, the game will certainly metamorphose. No, the Democratic Party isn’t the Black Party, but on the post-primary level the black vote is very much integral to their lifeblood almost everywhere outside the extreme northeast and the extreme northwest, and certainly on the national scale.
* It’s not snark, it’s true — the Democrats ARE the “black party.” True, 12% “can’t really dominate any party in a two-party system,” if you’re counting on raw numbers alone, but when Democrats get nearly 100% of the black vote, it serves as the keystone of the arch in the Democratic coalition of white liberals, gays, Hispanics, blacks, unions.
Second, the black vote is effective far above it’s actual numbers because the Democrats use race as a moral trump card that wins every time. Don’t like Democrats? Then you must be a racist Klansman wanting to lynch innocent Negroes just for sport and beat the hell out of colored preachers just for wanting to vote. Just as if you criticize a Jew, you’re automatically Hitler and want to throw six million of them into the gas chamber, if you disagree with a Democrat you’re the Grand Dragon. End of argument.
They use this holier-than-thou moral superiority to turn everything else into a “civil rights” issue: abortion, feminism, affirmative action, gay marriage — and more recently, for transvestites and cross-dressers to be able to take a piss in the ladies’ room.
* They are the black party because the Dems cater to blacks in ways that are destructive to all. Whites, Asians included. Such as Section 8 programs busting up white working class neighborhoods. Rigging police and fireman’s exams in big cities on so on…
* The Democratic Party in the South is conservative – they want to conserve the same corrupt spoils system and they want to stay on the same road we are on right now, moving at the same pace. Bernie, for all his talk about banks and taxes, only wants to move a bit faster down that same road. The GOP establishment only wants to move a little slower down that road. They are all conservative. The only person who wants off the road is Trump – he is the only revolutionary in this election.
* Of course they can dominate a party if they constitute a unified block that is impervious to normal politicking. You have a significant block in your corner no matter what which allows the candidate of their choice to manuever to get enough of the remaining electorate to win. No way Obama is POTUS today without black voters.
