Fox & Friends: Morning Show Guest Says Black Voters Maintain 'Slavish Support' for Democratic Party


“Let’s talk Democrats,” Kooiman later pivoted. “And you have a theory that they are essentially buying the African American vote. What do you mean?”

“Blacks have shown a slavish support for the Democrat party for over 50 years,” Wright replied. “Part of me wonders if the Republican party should even bother asking for the black vote because black Americans seem to like being political dummies.”

In my home we refer to as a piece of shit used car salesman. There hasn't been a Republican representing the interests of black folks since Romney's dad got pushed out of the Nixon Administration for telling the truth about our inner city issue.

I believe whether or not somebody watched Fox News a more reliable indicator of somebody voting Republican than somebody being black and voting Democratic was. So, are Republicans slaves to Fox News?

As Trump said he could shoot someone and not lose support (Dick Cheney proved that).

12. Afro-Americans Used To Be Reliable GOP Voters

Afro-Americans used to be reliable Republican voters until 80 years or so ago, until they realized that ultra-conservative Republicans had made alliance with reactionary anti-New Deal Southern Democrats. At that point they considered their debt to the "Party of Lincoln" paid and started to vote their interests instead.

And THAT is something you won't hear on Murdoch's Faux Noise Cable Propaganda during Black History Month.

If blue-collar Republicans ever figure out that they're getting similarly Judas-kissed, it's bye-bye GOP.

The key word was plantation. Now the key word is slave. Wonder what their next key word after slave/slavish will be?
