Psychology of the (mostly) black voter.

[Longtoothbuck]

Have you ever thought about this?  Human emotions are very powerful.  They are often without good rationale reasoning.  You see something you want and you can easily find 100 reasons why you need it and itâ€s practical.

Two emotions that I think affects voters are fear and hope.  Fear can really be irrational.  Itâ€s like jumping out of a plane with a parachute is probably as safe as a walk through the park.  But im hear to tell you the Only way I would parachute is to be knocked out and pushed out.

Then there is Hope.  When things are really bad, itâ€s often hope that keeps you going.  

Now likes talk about voting.  The Dems have done a marvelous job creating fear.  If you vote for the Republican, you might get laid off, wages will go down,  you wonâ€t be able to get healthcare, your public housing will get worse and youâ€re going to be eating ***** pies for dinner.

And if you vote for the Dem, there will be new jobs, higher paying, better access to healthcare, new public housing projects, better schools and teachers.

So election after election the black man is afraid of what will happen if he votes Republican and hopeful even given the 100 year history of failure that someday there will be a black Messiah running for Mayor, Governor or President.  Isnâ€t it insane to do the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?

Their vote is for sale to the highest bidder.

Right now there is only one side doing any of the bidding.

Most people are stupid. Yes, it has to be said.

Brutus is correct. Hand out chicken and waffles boxes and the idiot will gladly trade his vote. Another reason why I do not vote. I'd be angry seeing this while I voted. My vote should mean something more than a free boxed lunch.

Unfortunately, many people like 'free' they don't understand opportunity cost. They really think boxes magically appeared at the stand for the guy to pass out no charge. The other is get even with the 'man' for perceived wrongs. Valid or not it motivates many to vote against their best interests. How many times does it take to be fooled before one walks away? Are these people kept in a constant delusion of lies and deceit? Probably.

They keep each other in check. If one begins to behave in a manner that is different from "what black people do" then the other black people will absolutely dog the sh!t out of them until they go back to behaving in a "black" manner.

That's no different than how white Democrats demonize and ostracize white people who "legitimize" Trump.

That is a pretty good point. 

Now imagine if 95% of the White race were rabid leftists. That's about what blacks who stray from their stereotypes are up against.

Your point is a fair one too.

I think that principle applies to many things and teens are most susceptible. If you donâ€t go along with the crowd, you are ostracized. Itâ€s also a reason most of the polls were wrongl. Many planned to vote for Trump but feared telling anyone. Itâ€s a shame there are so many who canâ€t think for themselves. They can see how to get from A to B but canâ€t see whatâ€s next.

Blacks as a group suffer from "crawdad syndrome". It is like putting a bunch of crawdads in a bucket. When on starts to climb up to the top of the bucket the others pull them back down. Frankly I don't see this ever ending.
