I believe there are more blacks than ever before that are starting to realize not only that the Democratic Party takes our votes for granted, but that the Democrats method of giving us "handouts" isn't improving our community. It also doesn't help that many black pastors are so deeply imbedded in the Democrat party, and regardless of how much they agree with the Republicans on social issues, they are not willing to give up whatever kickbacks they may be getting from the Democrats. Many Black folks really value the what their Pastors tell them above any political official,..and they get the Democrats agenda pushed on them all day long in their churches...(not all..but quite a few..)
So true. Hillary Clinton was at my church on Sunday and prior to her arrival our pastor talking about the importance of not letting any party take our vote for granted and just voting a certain way because we've always done it. We need to not only vote but be informed voters and make sure we hold people accountable.
