re: #401 BigPapa

I should also add that this ‘AA vote Dem because’ narrative also strongly implies not only that AA are stupid but that they’re willing to be bought off for some free crap. That they’ll accept ‘living on the plantation’ for some tidbits, barely enough to exist on.

Very nasty white superiority/racist stuff. The GOP frontrunner is pushing this, although wrapped in a pretty ‘just trying to help AA folk’ wrapper with a ‘Dems really don’t care about AA folk’ bow tie.

Except that’s been their argument for years now, that black voters would be so much better off under a Republican, but they’re on the “Dem plantation” and don’t realize it. That the DNC is buying them off with “free stuff” when the GOP’s offering them a pair of bootstraps and all the empty encouragement they can muster. If only black voters would vote for the GOP, they’d be so much better off, but they’re too dumb to realize they’re being exploited.
