"The loudest voices in today’s Democratic Party are sowing division and hate between the police and the communities they serve instead of offering solutions and a platform to have some real conversations."
As Jolly has inferred, the fat lady has not been heard from.

The Republicans need to rescue themselves from this awful populist nationalism, and the Dems need to save themselves from awful populist left-wing left wingers taking over.
Not sure either is going to happen.

I'd love to see a wedge driven between blacks and the Dems. If you take a look at much of the black community, they are socially conservative, religious and seek upward social mobility.
I think they fit better in the GOP, than in today's Dem party.

Then feel free.
I'm sure Renauda can wax eloquent about the superiority of the political parties in the land of the maple leaf.

I would agree with that.

Are you implying that I should stop complaining or leave?

Have you confused this guy with Van Jones?
This is just a random retired state rep.

Why do you think most members of the black community identify as Democrats other the Republican then? There is roughly about 10x more Black Americans who identify as Democrats than there are Black Americans who identify as Republicans.

A couple of things...
-
The black community is a tight community. Community members are loathe to appear as being too white or be deemed Oreos. Sometimes, they go along to get along. LBJ said he would have them voting Dem for 100 years...Maybe he was right.
-
Many inner city blacks are chained to the Gibmedat Plantation.
