“Bernie inspired us to disrupt the status quo because it only works for the elites and not regular people who are struggling,” Carter told Breitbart News. “If black communities vote for Hillary Clinton and Democrats in November, nothing will change because Democrats will continue to believe they don’t have to do anything to earn our votes.”
Carter told Breitbart News that his greatest awakening of how Democrats exploit minority voters came when he learned from the Washington Post that the Democratic Party spends less than 2 percent of its campaign resources with minority-owned companies, even though they get better than 90 percent of the black vote. It is a practice that Carter calls “political slavery.” When Carter emailed Breitbart News this link as the source for his claim that Democrats don’t invest campaign resources with minority businesses, he singled out interim DNC Chairman Donna Brazile, saying, “Donna Brazile is mentioned in the article, and it would be nice if you could mention that because later I will call her out on a lot of things.” Now Black Men for Bernie are rebranding and again planning to tour the country with an emphasis on battleground states. Carter says he’s going to organize black and minority communities to vote against Hillary Clinton and the Democratic establishment.
“Donald Trump isn’t a typical politician and he isn’t beholden to the same old political powers,” Carter continued. “We want to earn our seat at the table in his administration and I think he and the Republicans are smart enough to realize that when we deliver them a historic number of minority votes, they better do a better job than the Democrats have done or they’re never going to get an opportunity like this again.” Finally, Carter states that is vital to not provide the Democrats with a blank checkbook but that it’s also important that a partnership is formed with the Republican Congress before delivering them the minority vote.
“This could be a historic moment that changes the political calculus for generations, The Democrat establishment is about to learn the hard way that they don’t own the minority vote.”

That doesn't make much sense.
How is the amount of money spent by a party towards minority-owned services tied to the percentage the party receives in minority votes?
And how is that equated to political slavery?

AACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous is known for making headlines, and he’s at it again. In an interview with David Gregory on Meet The Press, Jealous said that African Americans are doing worse under President Obama than under President Bush. “When you look at joblessness in this country, the country’s back to pretty much where it was when this president started,” he said. “White people in this country are doing a bit better. Black people are doing far worse.” Read more at EBONY www.ebony.com... Follow us: @EbonyMag on Twitter | EbonyMag on Facebook
The unemployment rate for black teens, as well as for blacks age 16 to 24, has dropped by more than half from its high point during the Obama administration. During the depths of the crisis, the unemployment rate for black teens spiked to as high as 48.9% in September 2010. For those age 16 to 24, the jobless rate jumped up to 32.5% in January 2010.

The democrats do nothing for the Black community yet expect black votes. By voting Democrat despite a history of getting nothing in return Blacks are basically enslaving themselves to the status quo system and giving without getting. Until they wise up and vote against Democrats there is no incentive for any party to do anything to actually help them.

Wow, roflmao! I thought the math was pretty simple unless delusion is involved. Out of 100% campaign finance resources allocated to companies for whatever purpose, 2% goes to black/minority owned companies, the other 98% goes to white owned companies. So the democratic candidate gets 90% of the black vote for 2% of the business. Looks like a slap in the face or a kick in the teeth for black or minority owned companies to me. So why do the democrats deserve 90% of the black or minority vote when this kind of spending is skewed against them?

They are part of the same system the rest of us are bound to. If they are slaves to the system, so are we. Not all of us vote democrat.
So logic would dictate that we should not vote for either Democrats or Republicans if we do not want to be slaves of the status quo.

You are right. Which is exactly what this guy was highlighting. When you vote Dem after they have stopped working for you, then they will continue to not work for you.

Why this time around? Hillary is going to get the majority of the black vote anyway.
Your assertion is absurd.
