At Risk in Senate, Democrats Seek to Rally Blacks
When things look desperate, the party of racism goes back to the trough.
WASHINGTON — With their Senate majority imperiled, Democrats are trying to mobilize African-Americans outraged by the shooting in Ferguson, Mo., to help them retain control of at least one chamber of Congress for President Obama’s final two years in office.
In black churches and on black talk radio, African-American civic leaders have begun invoking the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, along with conservative calls to impeach Mr. Obama, as they urge black voters to channel their anger by voting Democratic in the midterm elections, in which minority turnout is typically lower.

A totally incompetent reason to vote over Ferguson when all of the political players involved ARE FOCKING DEMOCRATS. Theres where The Blacks Outrage should be. Heck even Michael Browns Presidential Father was on the Golf Course during the demonstrations

RE: At Risk in Senate, Democrats Seek to Rally Blacks
I have already predicted what's going to happen. The Grand Jury is going to find insufficient evidence to indict on any charges mid October. This decision will enrage blacks and become a major issue for the mid-terms. After the mid-terms Obama's BOY Holder will bring some kind of Federal Charges on Officer Wilson.

Just as long as they have ID to prove they are who they are. It still requires individual effort....

Revoke their tax exempt status.

Nothing new. Politics have saturated these places of worship for decades. It has been a well know fact in my community that a nice donation to the "building fund" will garner you votes.

I can honestly tell you the Church I have attended since childhood, or any Church service I have attended for that matter, has never advocated voting for any political party. If it is happening in "black only" Churches, it is because the DNC is targeting them with propaganda.

I think you're right, but it will backfire because, after the al sharptons of the world get done poisoning the public discourse and distorting the facts, real riots (not the agressive milling around we saw last time) will erupt after the grand jury declines to indict.

Yes...That is what I meant. Thanks for the clarification.

For the last 50 years, black Americans have voted for Democrats over Republicans by a roughly 10:1 margin for President, and frequently by even greater margins than that for down-ballot offices. That 10:1 paradigm has not quite run its course, but I'm convinced it will not last for more than another 10-12 years.
The battleground Senate races include some states (N.C., Louisiana, Georgia, Michigan) where the African-American vote could plausibly make the decisive difference in the outcome. But there are a lot of other states (Alaska, Iowa, New Hampshire, Colorado, Kentucky) where it honestly won't matter too much even if black turnout is 100%.

RE: At Risk in Senate, Democrats Seek to Rally Blacks
I honestly don't think the demoncratic party garnering the black vote will help the dims at all. Like native georgian said they have been voting demoncratic for forever and some years the Reps wins regardless. What carried our Great Leader in these two elections wasn't the minority vote but the votes from the onthefence voters. They didn't want to be perceived as racists so they went with the flow of the time. Now, even in the democratic news channels they are bad mouthing the great leader. Things will be different this time around. Even if Killary would win at least we wouldn't have any more race baiting from the commander in the golf course.
