Thread: Liberal Blacks shouldn't vote.

It's quite simple.

According the right-wing narrative, blacks have been duped by "liberals" into voting against their own best interest. Liberals, according to the narrative, perpetuate a false perception of racism in our schools, in the media, and apparently through secret subliminal radio waves - in order to enslave blacks; essentially tricking them into voting democrat. In other words, blacks are NOT sophisticated enough to use their own critical judgment, when it comes to voting. They're easily tricked and easily duped.

Not convinced?

Well there's more.

The narrative further asserts that liberals promote social programs, aka entitlement programs, designed to deliberately keep blacks poor. Unsophisticated blacks are elated to remain on welfare, collecting food stamps, living it up. Apparently, in the world this narrative envisions, black leaders, pastors, politicians, teachers in our liberal schools, etc , indoctrinate blacks into believing they are victims of racism. As such, of course, they end up believing they have no other choice, but to live it up on entitlement programs. There's proof of this on youtube. Where you can easily find African American's celebrating being able to vote for Obama, who will make sure they stay on food stamps.

But there is hope. Blacks are starting to wake up. But, only conservative blacks, like Allen West and Herman Cain. Allen West is a self-described "modern day Harriet Tubman". God bless Allen West. He'll free the blacks from their enslavement to liberal indoctrination. Herman Cain has escaped himself. Yes, it's true. Herman is the epitome of a black that's been freed. Of liberals blacks, he stated unequivocally that they are all brainwashed. Racism, according to Cain, is a thing of the past. The only exception he makes is when his alleged sexual indiscretions are concerned. Of course, then, it's a racially motivated left-wing plot to prevent him from being President. Clearly, both Cain and West exhibit the type of intellectual prowess that is sorely missing among liberal blacks. Even Ann Coulter noted ,in Herman Cain's case, that "our blacks are so much better than their blacks". God Bless you Ann.

Therefore, if blacks are to survive, there most be "affirmative action" taken to ensure their advancement in society. For their own good, black liberals should be prevented from voting. Right? It couldn't be possible that the narrative is flawed. Right? It couldn't be that conservatives have simply failed to articulate a message - that resonates effectively enough in the black community, to persuade blacks to vote Republican in greater numbers. Right? It couldn't be that the narrative about blacks being "enslaved", or essentially too stupid to vote, is just another example, among many many others, of what pushes them further and further away from voting for Republicans. Right?

Nah.

Couldn't be.

As a liberal, I'm trying to figure out why in the hell I'd want to keep minorities on welfare.

I'm assuming your ability to succeed in your career is not dependent on the votes of millions of people. The concern that people would vote themselves money and benefits is not new. Franklin warned about it.

I doubt liberal voters in general want anyone dependent on government. They may be inadvertently supporting this trend, but in their minds don't believe that they are.

I think there are a few general, powerful factors that keep liberals in support of welfare programs:

1) Strong emotional responses to thoughts or images of human suffering, and the irrational belief that human suffering is altogether unacceptable and can be largely eliminated.
2) Inability/unwillingness to acknowledge basic human behavioral tendencies that boil down to the fact that, as a general rule, you get more of what you reward, and less of what you punish.
3) A lack of value for property rights

Then why do whites on welfare often vote Republican?
