During his Presidential 'campaign’, Joe Biden appeared on "The Breakfast Club" hosted by African American radio host Charlamagne tha God. When Charlamagne said he had questions regarding Biden’s vision for the black community, Biden condescendingly interrupted his host saying that he “shouldn't have been such a wise guy', further retorting that “if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't Black."
That interview occurred in May 2020.
It has been almost two years, so how is Biden faring with the
African Americans?
A recent Washington Post-Ipsos poll shows that only 23 percent
of black voters “strongly agree” with Biden’s performance as President.
The number of voters
who think the Biden administration is “sympathetic” towards black Americans’
slipped from 74 percent in 2020 to 66 percent.
60 percent said they
were disappointed or angry about Democrats’ failure to pass voting rights
legislation.
Most importantly, 62
percent of black voters said they would cast a vote this year compared to 85
percent in 2020.
Among a potential
list of candidates for the 2024 presidential election, only 43 percent said
they would prefer Biden to be the nominee and Harris followed with a paltry 29
percent.
It appears that
Blacks are abandoning both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
What would explain
this act of desertion?
Democrat experts and
consultants will probably express astonishment and dismay at the numbers.
They will proudly
recite Biden’s ‘stellar’ record.
They will boast that
Biden was the first President to have a woman of color as his vice-president
and that Biden’s cabinet has 5 people of color making it 55% nonwhite. They
will vaunt about Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
who was successfully confirmed making her the first black Supreme Court Justice.
They remind you that
Biden and Harris always condemn White Supremacy, White Nationalism, and the
MAGA wing of the GOP irrespective of the occasion. They will add that Democrats
wholeheartedly support Black Lives Matter such that their looting and rioting
were overlooked.
The sanctimonious
group that they are, they fail to comprehend even a slight folly on their part.
They will probably settle for blaming Russian disinformation for Black American
dissatisfaction and make a case for policing speech.
So what could be
their reasons for desertion?
Perhaps it’s
the inflation
in the U.S. that is at a 40-year high, resulting in spiraling costs
of living.
Perhaps it is the
fact that about 26.5%
for Black Americans while the unemployment rate among Black women over
20 years old increased sharply to 5.9% and 4.7%, respectively, up from 5% and
3.8% in April.
Perhaps they miss
the prosperity
they experience during the Trump
Presidency.
Perhaps it is a recent report by real estate
brokerage firm Redfin that revealed that only 44.7% of Black families in the
U.S. own the home they live in.
Perhaps it is the
fact that Black farmers haven’t received any of Biden’s
promised $4 billion in debt forgiveness that was part of the pandemic
stimulus package.
Perhaps the influx of
illegal migrants owing to Biden’s open border policy caused the loss of jobs
for working-class African Americans.
Perhaps it is
the CDC Data
that shows African Americans are at least four times more likely to be
killed by a gun than the overall population. Among African Americans, the rate
was 26.6 deaths per 100,000, a 39.5% increase over 2019. A recent
study shows that Black women are the majority of victims of gun
violence. Black communities realize they desperately need policing to
ensure their well-being and a disgusted by Democrat's relentless talk of
defunding the police.
A Pew Research Study
revealed that 79%
of African Americans identify as Christian. Many Black churches
welcomed the potential repeal of Roe v. Wade (1973), which
legalized abortion nationwide. Perhaps they are disgusted by Democrats becoming
champions of unfettered abortions?
Perhaps religious
African Americans are also turned off by Democrat fanatic advocacy of the LGBT+
causes.
Biden and the
Democrats were fanatical proponents of the vaccine mandate. A recent study
shows that Black Americans are unlikely
to receive the COVID-19 vaccines, owing to distrust of government
bodies.
Perhaps African
Americans realized that BLM, whom the Democrats ardently supported, was a con.
The only people to benefit from the movement were its founders who
now live in plush mansions.
The primary problem
with the Democrats is they do not see people are individuals but as demographic
groups who have a consensus on all important matters. This is particularly
applicable to minority groups.
The Democrats presume
that their relentless virtue signaling and their 'diversity appointments' would
be enough to satisfy Black Americans. It is insulting to presume that any human
being will be impressed with empty words or the appointment of the perpetually
incoherent Kamala Harris.
The Democrats seem to
think that only ‘black issues’ matter to African Americans. To think of any
group as totally homogenous is a form of bigotry.
Despite all their poor display, the Biden’s approval numbers among
African Americans aren’t nearly as low as they ought to be. Perhaps it is the
relentless brainwashing by the media and entertainment that has convinced Black
Americans that they are traitors if they abandon the Democrat Party. They have
been convinced that the Democrats are the sole group that cares for them while
the GOP is a party of White Supremacists.
This has caused the
Democrats to think they own the Blacks and their vote, irrespective of their
performance. If black people such as Charlamagne ask them questions they throw
into a conniption.
The GOP has another sterling opportunity at expanding their voter base, let's hope they seize it.
