Why do Black folk vote Democratic? It's not because we're ignorant, and it has nothing to do with having a plantation mentality.  If you really want to know, here's a simplified historical breakdown of why.  Slavery: * Republican Party ended slavery. * Southern Democratic Party fought for slavery. * Northern Democratic Party was against slavery.  Post-Civil War thru Reconstruction: * Republican Party was for Black civil and political rights and was considered the Negro dominated party. * Southern Democrats were against any rights for Black folk and considered themselves the White man's party. Note: This is when the switch is Democratic and Republican Party ideologies slowly began.  By Post-Reconstruction (1877): * Republican Party began to lose political interest in the plight of the freed slaves and began to support big business. * Southern Democrats (the White man's party) took back/recaptured their states, passing Jim Crow laws to facilitate keeping Black folk su...

I remember when fraud, adultery, porn, lying, sexual sin, bigotry, cheating, nastiness, etc. were Bible thumping sermons declaring God is not pleased and you'd better repent. Now, the Church (some, not all) knowingly elevate folk who live in such places into positions of leadership and power declaring them to be men/women of God, sent by God, and approved by Him.

That's just a tiny portion of the negative things said and shared about Fani Willis--the Black woman who is also the District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia--by MAGA and other Republicans when her affair with a married man was exposed. Trump's extramarital affairs and sleaziness are now waving in the wind before the world.  * Where's that outrage now?  * Where are the calls for him to not run for public office?  * Where are the declarations that he's unfit to hold the highest office in this Nation? What I am hearing is his followers giving him passes left and right. Trump's extramarital affairs are no big deal. They are just not that important to them.   Adultery is just as wrong and appalling for Trump as it was in Fani's case. If Fani deserves to be severely punished and fire...
