I don't personally know a single Black person that will vote for Clinton. Do you? Like, in real life?
Why did you title your thread 'African Americans...Listen up' ?
Unfortunately, most Black voters will vote for Hillary + any Democrat name on a ballot.
That’s because democrats mostly deal with their interests
Their interests are record unemployment, abortions on demand, single mom households, stagnant inner cities, record imprisonment, excessive high school drop out rates and rampant poverty?
What a bargain!
Hi. Black american male here.
I have a full time job making north of 70k per year here in the northeast. I've never had a child out of wedlock, never been apart of an abortion. my parents both raised me in the same house. I don't live in an inner city, I live currently in a suburban area. I've never been to prison, never been arrested in fact. I have a high school diploma, and my bachelors degree.
I've also alerted ATS moderation to your racist ramblings.
Can you good sir, say the same about yourself?
You apparently have a thin skin too. I could care less about the melanin content.
Also, congratulations. You followed the blueprint that prevents people from falling into poverty. Graduate, get a job, get married, then have kids.
My comments are about what the Democratic party is doing to the black population in America, not that blacks want those outcomes. Exactly what has voting Democrat done for inner city blacks living Detroit, Chicago, Kansas City, Baltimore, St Louis, Philadelphia, etc?

Oh good god ... here:
“The Australian government, as part of trying to clamp down on the availability of automatic weapons, offered a good price for buying hundreds of thousands of guns,” Clinton said. “Then, they basically clamped down, going forward, in terms of having more of a background check approach, more of a permitting approach, but they believed, and I think the evidence supports them, that by offering to buyback those guns, they were able to curtail the supply and to set a different standard for gun purchases in the future.” Clinton said such a gun buyback program “would be worth considering” federally, “if that could be arranged.” She compared it to President Barack Obama’s so-called “cash for clunkers” program, which bought back old cars with lower levels of energy efficiency in order to stimulate the economy and reduce pollution.

A buy back program is not a mass gun confiscation.

Name ONE thing I have said which is condescending to African Americans?????
Just one thing.
Again, I'm not TELLING anyone who to vote for, just suggesting who NOT to vote for.
I'm very confident you are highly intelligent and quite capable of making informed decisions. I mean no disrespect, honest I don't; I think you have taken my post wrong.

And based on the Republicans of late, they would be starving in the streets.
Let's cut medicaid, let's cut food stamps, let's cut welfare,
no where in the Republican speeches are there any common sense ideas about creating jobs that could lift people from poverty.
Corporate welfare is what the Republicans are all about, more rich white folk BS.

Hillary is going to disarm you...and everyone else. Do not be mislead. Hillary is not your champion. She is in it for her, and her wealth and power! (i.e. the Clinton Foundation, et. al)
Hillary is going to take away your ability to defend yourselves against crazies, thugs and killers. She will.
The events in Dallas last night are tragic, and the shooter was a criminal, but going forward Hillary does NOT have your best interests in mind...none of you, and none of any of us.
Vote for anyone, I don't care, but please take stock of these words and deny the Clinton Empire from taking office!!
This is my opinion. I don't care who gets elected...so long as it is NOT Hillary R. Clinton!!!
PLEASE....!!
I LOVE mankind and work hand in hand with all my colleagues; I see no color, I only see ability.
I am not a shill for anyone, but the handwriting is on the wall. Our future depends on it America! It DOES!!

Hyperbole alert!
Are they starving because they can't find work in those Democrat enclaves?
Let's cut medicaid, let's cut food stamps, let's cut welfare,
Are you saying minorities can't survive without handouts? How racist.

Government doesn't create jobs. The best it can do is help create an environment where jobs are easier to create by private business and entrepreneurs.
Corporate welfare is what the Republicans are all about, more rich white folk BS.
Hyperbole alert!
I'm as opposed to cronyism as much as the next guy (maybe more so), but don't even try to suggest that the Democrats aren't as guilty of it as Republicans.
Many black political leaders need to rethink their opposition to the Second Amendment. By supporting government infringement of the right to bear arms, they are not only violating the Constitution, they are robbing their fellow blacks of the ability to defend themselves, and relegating them to second-class citizenship.

So YOU really think it's a good IDEA for the people that spent hundreds, THOUSANDS of dollars on firearms to 'give' them to the state for PENNIES on the dollar ?
More 'common sense' in action.

While we all know WHO will scoff at this TRUTH.
They can't deny what they want.
A STATE better armed than the PEOPLE.
In order words second class citizens.
As governor of California, Reagan signed the Mulford Act into law in 1967. Written by Republican Assemblyman Don Mulford, the legislation was the most sweeping state edict in all the country, prohibiting the more or less free carrying of firearms in public. It went along with the rest of his heavy-handed entire law-and-order agenda and inspired an avalanche of new gun laws nationwide.
The purpose of the law was to disarm the Black Panthers, a radical leftist group that openly carried firearms, kept an eye out on the police, and even took their rifles to the state Capitol to protest what they decried as racist legislation.
In the late 1960s, the racism of gun control was fresh on many Civil Rights thinkers’ minds. Upholding gun rights for freed slaves was a primary motive behind the Fourteenth Amendment. State-level gun control became instrumental in suppressing blacks.
