    I don't post stuff from the Blaze, but I found this interesting. I really hope #FBA is waking up to the con that's been going on for the last century. I want #FBA to stick to their guns and don't vote if you're not getting anything for it.

    NBC News asks rural black voters if the Democrats have done anything for them: 'F*** no! No!'

    A news crew from "Meet the Press" on NBC News went to a rural grocery store in a community of color and asked if the Democrats had done anything for black people. The responses were revealing. "F*** no! No!" said one man who walked away as others in the store laughed. "Taking us down...

    It's quite unfortunate and many of the black populace see voting as a religion something they must uphold in high esteem. Though it's your human right to vote but why don't we use our power to vote in the right way instead of voting in bunch of people who doesn't have the best interest of the black population at heart.

    "A news crew from "Meet the Press" on NBC News went to a rural grocery store in a community of color and asked if the Democrats had done anything for black people."

    And it is sentences like the one above that is part of the damn problem. What the hell is wrong with addressing and focusing on Black people directly and specifically? What the hell was the point of using terms like "a community of color" when you end up letting it be known that you were only talking about Black people anyway?

    Black people are not minorities, a community of color, people of color, Black and Brown, underserved communities, etc.

    Black people are Black people.
    Black Americans are Black Americans.
    Period.
