Obama was a blip that caused more than usually allegiance to the Democratic Party but it looks like there was a return to the median of around 12% of black men and 6-9% percent of black women.

I always got annoyed with the Dem Plantation talk because the fact that republicans are terrible to black people turns into our fault for us never voting for them.


And republicans have put themselves in this weird position where they can't gain more black voters without losing some of their base voters. That's what happens when you make racism a cornerstone of their party.

Trump made a half ass reach out to Black Men voters (that fool really had a plan called the Platinum Plan") and it didn't work and it's hard to see more republicans pursue that block.



The voters who it seems like will make and break the future of both parties are Latin voters. Check out this episode of the Daily.

The funny thing is, when you listen to their reasons for voting republican, its all based on misinformation and low information about the party.
