Kanye's Not Alone: Blacks Are Deserting the Dems

[PJ] No matter how you feel about polls, twelve points in one year is significant. This is especially true (and surprising) considering the constant drum beat from the press that Trump is a racist somewhere south of George Wallace.

Somebody isn't buying it -- and it's not just Kanye West. If this number grows just a little bit, the Democratic Party is in deep trouble. The party relies for its electoral power on overwhelming support from African-Americans, a dependency in itself inherently racist and suffused with reactionary identity politics. Without the black vote, the Dems might as well rename themselves the Celluloid Party and run Hollywood agents for mayor of Malibu. It'll be their best chance for success.

No wonder Maxine Waters hates Trump so much and no wonder Snoop Dogg has his nose so far out of joint he's attacked Kanye with that hoary cliché "Uncle Tom." (C'mon, Snoop, you can do better than that. You're a creative artist.) Actually, it's a dead giveaway. Today's Democrats are the natural heirs of George Wallace: "Segregation now! Segregation forever!" Only their brand of segregation means segregated dorms at Harvard and a blacks-only graduation ceremony. Talk about reactionary. Is that what MLK wanted? Gimme a break.

Who am I to say that as a white man, you might ask? Well, nobody, but I did live in a rooming house owned by MLK's cousin in Sumter, South Carolina, in 1966, working for, of course, integration as a northern agitator civil rights kid, 22 years old. What happened to the civil rights movement after that became increasingly depressing, increasingly exploitative, and increasingly mired in victimology over the years, in short what happens to so many idealistic movements (cf. Carlyle's French Revolution).

#1 It is not any single group. Americans are waking up and when they do, it will not make a damn bit of difference what you are as long as you are American.

They may even find the Spirit of The Lord again!
Being true to Their GOD and to Themselves.
Truth solves many ills that may not have even been there.

#4 A non-trivial percentage of black men are; black women are overwhelmingly anti-Trump.

#7 RJSchwarz, a couple of WAGS:

1) Big Government is more of a surrogate husband for black women than any other demographic in this country.Trump's success is viewed as a serious threat to that gravy train.

2) A lot of the men have a positive view of Trump alphaness -- don't forget he was a hip hip icon back in the day.

3) More black men are finding work, and perhaps, some pride in earning their own way. They want to keep that going.

4) Screechy upper class white ladies -- who are the most vocal Trump haters -- don't exactly bring out the warm fuzzies.

Dems will still get a large majority of the black vote of course, but it'll be interesting to see the impact in close races, both vote wise and resource expenditure wise.

Will the Dems have to spend more than expected on "sure thing" races with less left over for competitive ones?
