If a radical conservative racist saqys this, then he must be right
Quanell X, leader of the NBP Party in Houston, says it time for black voters to “reexamine the relationship” they have with the Democratic Party — and “truly examine” Trump’s outreach to the black community.
In reference to Trump’s speech in Milwaukee, during which he blamed Democrats for the plight of many of America’s blacks, Quanell X said:
“Let me say this to the brothers and sisters who listened and watched that speech. We may not like the vessel that said what he said, but I ask us to truly examine what he said, because it is a fact that for 54 years, we have been voting for the Democratic party like no other race in America.
And they have not given us the same loyalty and love that we have given them. We as black people have to reexamine the relationship — where we are being pimped like prostitutes, and they’re the big pimps pimping us politically, promising us everything and we get nothing in return.”
Quannel X also had a few thoughts about America’s first black president:
“Barack Obama, our president, served two terms. The first black president ever. But did our condition get better? Did financially, politically, academically, with education in our community, did things get better? Are our young people working more than what is was before he came into office? The condition got worse. So now we as black people have to do and remember what the honorable Elijah Mohammed said. No politician can save the black community; we’ve gotta do it ourselves.”
I guess when I ask these kinds of questions I sound racist, but this guy? Maybe he has enough street cred to ask the hard questions and have a real meaningful dialogue about how African Americans vote.

I just hope they keep asking those hard questions of themselves. I also hope that all the questions they ask are logical, and not simply more victimhood nonsense that the Al Sharpton types ask.
I have a friend at work, a guy my age so we bonded fairly quickly. He's one of many black co-workers with whom I regularly associate. He's also one who is greatly disappointed in both Obama AND the Democratic party for all the reasons this guy in your post lists. Sometimes it seems like they're waking up. Other times, not so much.
It's interesting that it's considered condescending and racist sounding to even ask the question, no matter what the motivation behind the question. We've got a group up here expressing concern about the dismal education black kids are getting in the two big urban districts and the response they've gotten so far is that they are just a bunch of white racists and that they should stay out. I too hope that we see more of these conversations from within the affected communities and that we find people willing to have the hard conversations, ask the difficult questions, and honestly asses the answers.
