Black Community News News and Commentary for Christians
We know that Democrats have a lock on the “black vote.”
An overwhelming majority of black voters backed Joe Biden in 2020. Only eight percent cast their ballots for Donald Trump. Americans went to the polls in the midst of a pandemic and months after the George Floyd riots.
But will Trump catch a larger share of black voters this time around? According to a Pew Research report, 83 percent of black Americans still call themselves Democrats, but only 77 percent said they will vote for Biden in November.
“For the last 50, 60 years, the Democrat Party has been trying to convince African Americans that that’s a natural home for them,” Star Parker said on Straight Arrow News. “A home of secularism and big government just doesn’t work real well.”
Leftists act like black Americans have an allegiance to them because a Democratic president signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Act, and the Fair Housing Act.
But what about black Americans two generations away from the civil rights era? Do they feel this allegiance? Not according to Star. Younger black Americans, while they appreciate the civil rights movement, are looking for freedom.
“They’re looking for ideals that are embodied now in the Republican Party,” she said. “They’re looking for inflation to not be a part of their life. They’re looking for the open border to close. They’re looking for prosperity in their communities by safe neighborhoods and good schools.”
Are younger black Americans buying what the Biden administration is selling? Star has more to say about this, Rep. Byron Donalds, and Donald Trump. Watch below or at Straight Arrow News.
Let’s hope that our young African-Americans will maintain faith in our electoral system. If so, everything should work out fine.
