BET founder Robert Johnson says Dems taking black voters 'for granted,' calls for BLM to form party

BET founder Robert Johnson says the Democratic Party has taken black voters in America for granted, and he urges the ascendant Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement to form a new third party to fight for their interests.......

I think this is a great idea. Probably the most effective way to get the attention of the white power brokers.

It's also a great way to split progressive voters and allow to conservative bloc to retain their power.

Black people have effectively picked the last two candidates the DNC has put forth. Hillary and Biden both got their win from gaining a insurmountable lead in the southern states on super tuesday. If black people didn't like those two candidates they could have pushed through someone else, I feel like there were candidates both times who would have represented their interests better but we got who we got. Splitting votes into another party is not a winning idea, especially when your demographic is only about 14% of the total population.

Yes, but now we would have (likely) three major parties instead of two (I don’t consider the Independent Party....which I belong to...to be a serious contender into the foreseeable future). If there was a concerted movement to start a “black” party, with credible leadership, I strongly believe they’d become a fairly major threat in a short period of time. If they Successfully appeal to other minorities to join them, the current white power structure is screwed. Plain and simple. But it’s going to take organization and a lot of hard work. I hope they get going.

No.s 1 through one Million are we need to defeat Trump

 

[wizenheimer]

LOL...this is a wet dream for the R's

 

[Road Ratt]

I am not sure that is the way to go, but the political system here in the U.S. does need a major change. The tyranny of the two party system controlling America now is destroying it from within.

Republicans will be in office till the end of time if this happens

If democrats don't want to see a BLM political party I suggest they focus on the concerns and needs of black Americans.

Very true

They won't

 

[Chris Craig]

They won't

And republicans will?

 

[ABM]

And republicans will?

Never said they would.

 

[Chris Craig]

But, really I think the Democratic party has taken for granted the black vote. They need to get some shit done for African Americans if Biden wins in November.

The Dem lead house needs to too even if a republican senate vetoes their bills. They need to show they are serious and care.

 

[Chris Craig]

Never said they would.

No you didn't

 

[ABM]

No you didn't

Hence, BLM...I suppose.

Is having a token black woman as the VP nominee sufficient?

 

[ABM]

Is having a token black person as the VP nominee sufficient?

It's more than that, Due to his current level of mental capacity, said VP had better be prepared to lead this country on Day-2. Strangely reminds me of Designated Survivor.

The term "token black" has long been considered offensive.

But to address your question I think if Biden selects a black american as vice president I think you will have to seen who the rest of his cabinet is before you can make that determination or claim.

When everything is offensive, offensive things suddenly aren't as much anymore

Like the Republicans do?

Don't be confused by the bubble you're in.

 

[THE HCP]

Don't like this idea. The black community needs representation no doubt, but this isn't the way to do it. Republicans would LOVE for this to happen.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Like the Republicans do?

Does it matter? I don't believe black Americans possibly starting their own political party has anything to do with the representation they are or aren't getting from the republican party.

 

[THE HCP]

In my opinion, unfortunately any vote NOT for the democratic candidate is a vote FOR the Republican one.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Like the Republicans do?

You're right, they should just elect an obviously senile old establishment white man and have Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer take another knee wearing a Kunta Kintae scarf.

And if the Harris rumors are true, she has a bad track record as a DA with the black community and fairness.

The Black Community should elect someone who fights for them. Not these charlatans pre-approved by the DNC.

You think the dems will actually enact real change? Fuck no. I know y'all want Trump out, but to sell out as bad as the left will to get it done. Sad.

I don't think "we're not as bad as the republicans" is going to work for black voters anymore.
