I was watching BET Nightly News and A black woman was like 'Im voting democrat because that is what 'we' [black people] do.......... I'm saying to myself, does she even know any of the issues that are going on?? So this leads me to my question........... Do Black People Vote Democrat just because it is 'the thing to do'?.....

I feel as if Im slowly (extremely slowly) turning into a republican... Maybe by the time Im fifty...
CORRECTION: Hell maybe by tha time Im 30... A lot of people I know are lazy as hell and want everything to handed to them by the government... Tha ish is annoying
girl me and you are on the exact same page.....me and HU_Intellect had a thread going back and forth about that ish a minute ago........
Yea I try to be optimistic, but I see firsthand everyday how black folks (please some people in my family) exploit programs given to them by the government just so they won't have to do sh*t....
.....Yea, dont get me wrong, white people take advantage of the gov't too---but we as African Americans should set the bar of class. Black people should show white people[gov't] that we can do for ourselves and we dont need them....but at the same time without becoming a self-contained nation.....I liked in 60's [like I was there :roll: ]when there were a surplus of black shops and businesses....now it seem sthat the black people on give money to the other peoples businesses.....The only strong black business left is the black barbershop....but dont get me started preaching.....
Yea I kno that there are white people who do also. A lot of black-owned businesses are not supported by me, because they need to step their game up! I go to an Egyption-owned beauty shop to get ma hair done, because they get me in and out in a timely fashion. I get ma nails done by Koreans and my eyebrows are waxed by Indians. Now I try to support black-owned businesses, BUT I have been disappointed on numerous occasions....

Peace, Registered Democrat mite switch to republican b/c of somethings I've learned in my studies of both parties and certain stances both have on certain issues. But I consider myself a Blackacratic voter. I vote for whats best in the in interests of black folks long term of short term if thats the only opinion available. I'm voting Kerry this election b/c Bush needs to go. Peace.

This is a good question....but I do feel many blacks vote Democrat because it is the thing to do. Historically speaking tho, many blacks dont know that blacks use to vote Republican in elections. As far as what I am...Im Independent, but have found myself to have more conservative views than liberal views.:shrugs: As far as the election...I dont tell people who I am voting for, but I will say that Im not too impressed with either candidate to be honest.

yes i think so .. some blacks have simple answers why.. like the replublicans are for the rich and democrats are for the "poor" and blah blah.. but normally blacks dont even pay any attention the details of a pres as long as they are democrat
now i do agree w/ this... my initial answer to the original question was "no"...but i think that was just ideal thinking...as in, it shouldn't be that way, but in reality, it is... I just try to be for truth....the Democratic Party does some things I don't like or approve of; the Republican Party does more.... in the end, I guess I try to have more of an Independent Party mindstate, but at the same time...it probably comes off as moreso pro-Democrat 'cause I seem to be so anti-Republican (or especially, anti-Bush)... & as for what a few said about not carin' for Bush NOR Kerry....& really jus' choosin' Kerry 'cause he's the "lesser of two evils"...I really think that that is what most people are thinking...and planning to do.... I still have much researching to do....although I very much intend to remain "anti-Bush".....

If I could vote, Independent (mom's is an I) is what my registration card would read. I'd vote based on issues and not party lines.
