While many black Americans have a sense of loyalty to the Democratic Party, the party has translated black voters\u2019 constancy into a rightful racial bloc of ownership. But much like any useful possession, it becomes incredibly easy to take it for granted the longer you possess it.<\/p>\n<p>Charlamagne Tha God just expressed something similar in an exclusive interview with Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> Digital. \u201cThe Breakfast Club\u201d radio host made headlines in 2020 when candidate Joe Biden irritably told him that \u201cif you have a problem figuring out whether you\u2019re for me or [Donald] Trump, then you ain\u2019t black.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Fox asked about Biden\u2019s 2024 chances and his feelings about Democrats, Charlamagne stated: \u201cThey feel like, \u2018Hey, black men, black women, they\u2019re our most loyal voting bloc, and they show up for us no matter what.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the black vote is \u201cjust something that I don\u2019t think the Democratic Party can take for granted anymore because everybody wants tangibles. Everybody wants something that is gonna benefit their community specifically. People are voting their interests, nothing more, nothing less.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charlamagne\u2019s sentiments are very similar to my reasons for no longer blindly supporting the Democratic Party. I\u2019d notice Democrats would show up on radio shows like Charlamagne\u2019s making promises that sound <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ealing to a black audience \u2014 but they\u2019d never deliver.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>They\u2019d make a conscious effort to summon black elitists like Kamala Harris to talk about their college weed habits instead of their voting record. Democrats would deploy black celebrities to leverage their racial identity standing on their soapboxes and demanding we show our voting unity as a people while they pretend our class interests are the same.<\/p>\n<p>While I\u2019m not the only one to notice Democrats\u2019 increasingly condescending nature, the difference is that many continue to vote for them because they believe they\u2019re the lesser of two evils. No matter how conservative many black Americans\u2019 personal values are, the major hurdle for blacks to switch parties has nothing to do with a specific policy but a specific narrative: Republicans are racist.<\/p>\n<p>My own introduction to politics came with an overt statement of how Democrats are for black people and Republicans are racists. Once you\u2019re married to this narrative, no matter what Republicans do from a distance, you\u2019ll interpret it as being maliciously motivated. As little as Republicans believe that Democrats are providing for black Americans, our strong belief in this narrative is why we are willing to stay loyal to the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, however, continually misplay us choosing the lesser of two evils by not seeing themselves as an \u201cevil.\u201d And the longer they take us for granted, the more resentment that we will build against them.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/joe-biden.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Charlamagne pointed out that President Biden and other Democrats have only made symbolic gestures for black voters.\" class=\"wp-image-24893894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/joe-biden.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/joe-biden.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/joe-biden.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Charlamagne pointed out that President Biden and other Democrats have only made symbolic gestures for black voters.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP Photo\/Patrick Semansky<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Charlamagne even recognized the emptiness of Biden pardoning people with simple marijuana possession in federal prison as a political move that was supposed to especially benefit black people. As the host said, \u201cguess what? There is nobody in prison on a federal level with simple, simple possession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats have mastered do-nothing racially symbolic gestures \u2014 and we\u2019re supposed to be appreciative they even shouted us out.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden can define if I am black or not in public based on whether I support him, yet I\u2019m not supposed to expect anything tangible from him? It\u2019s because we\u2019re a demographic bloc with expected obedience, and any deviation from our Democratic lords\u2019 and masters\u2019 wishes shall come with a demotion in our racial identity.<\/p>\n<p>Sixty percent of black Americans live in 10 states that include the most populated cities in America. Many of these cities are Democrat-controlled and feature some of the nation\u2019s highest crime rates. Instead of taking this new progressive mantra of defunding the police, the Democrats could make crime a central issue and do something about it. That would highly benefit many black Americans. It would also improve these areas\u2019 economics because without the expectation of safety, businesses will choose elsewhere to flourish, resulting in stagnation in job creation \u2014 making these communities even worse off.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats treat black Americans like a vehicle they refuse to properly maintain while expecting us to be reliable enough to consistently drive them to their political destination. The black voting bloc is no longer treated like people with aspirations of a functioning government that appreciates them but a possession they can shine off every election cycle like memorabilia.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats feel that they own us already, so why pay twice for an item?<\/p>\n<p><em>Adam B.
