Sounds like an RNC infiltrator.

Aww shucks, blacks usually vote in really great proportions...

Jokes aside, if they don't feel the DNC is addressing their concerns they're going to need to make an entirely new party. Many Democrats are about as careful about racial issues as is within reason.

My question to this guy, which concerns specifically is he referencing and what proposed solutions does he have. Reminds me of the wondertwins who bombed the Bernie rally, biting the hand that's fed them for decades.

Blacks had the highest voter turnout of any race in the 2008 and 2012 elections.

We could all speculate as to why that might be, but even in the 1996, 2000, and 2004 elections, Blacks were very close to non-Hispanic Whites in terms of voter turnout (only behind a few percentage points) and were ahead of Hispanics and Asians. Yet we don't hear as many jokes about Hispanics and Asians not showing up to the polls.

Not even sure where that joke ever came from. I guess people just assume Blacks don't turn out to vote? Guess they didn't look at the information and just went off of hearsay. We could also speculate why people might think that joke is actually true.

Looking at the graph it looks like blacks didn't surpass until 2008, and still tend to drop below in off year elections. I think its just an old adage that hasnt gone out of use in the last 8 years since it became untrue. I don't think speculation is needed, blacks have been stereotyped as lazy and so people want to believe it is true.

This is a great idea that couldn't possibly backfire. :(
