Biden’s Proposal to Woo Black Voters Falls Short

As Donald Trump continues to target the Democratic Party’s long-held advantage among black American voters, the Biden campaign was hoping its rollout of the “Lift Every Voice” plan, discernibly branded to black voters, would stimulate the base that arguably saved him during the Democratic Presidential Primary. But upon examination, Biden’s proposal has no substance, misses the point, and offers nothing but the same failed liberal policies empirically known to destabilize the black community while avoiding our biggest concerns.

First, Biden’s proposal ignores the role illegal immigration has had on disadvantaged black Americans.

Biden’s proposal boldly claims he will “close racial wealth and income gaps.” But he plans to do that during a presidency that would roll back an immigration-labor framework which prioritizes American workers first, something that has been a boon to black workers.

If there’s one thing the Biden campaign and Democrats at large love to do, it’s conflating the black and brown condition in America. Homogenizing issues central to black Americans as a singular approach for “people of color” ignores the ways that lax immigration policies have left certain black populations vulnerable to its consequences. While uncomfortable for the left to admit, it’s consensus knowledge that liberal immigration policies have had an adverse effect on black wealth. As the supply of low-skilled, low-wage labor became available in the U.S. labor market, Black wealth declined.

Approximately 60% adult black men have a high school diploma or less, making them disproportionately employed in low-skilled labor markets, where they are more likely to be in competition with immigrants. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand how illegal immigration over the past forty years has depressed wages for low-skilled American citizens, a disproportionate number of whom are black men. more here

  2. It’s almost beyond hope thinking that 20% or more of black voters would come to their senses. If what’s been done to them the last 70 years hasn’t opened their eyes or reaching the lowest black unemployment numbers since it’s been tracked, you’re pretty much beating a dead horse.

    Voting for dems whose #1 litmus test is abortion which disproportionately murders more black babies certainly isn’t making much of an impact either.

  3. “They gon put y’all back in chaaaaains!” – Joe Biden.
    You vote for someone who said that, the WAY he said that, for the reason he said that (which were complete lies) you deserve the (mental) chaaaains.

  4. I’m more and more convinced that blacks voting Democrat has become an ingrained cultural thing. They don’t believe Lincoln (a Republican) fought the Civil War for emancipation, and they don’t believe King Jr. (a Republican) held Republican values. The Left was very successful with their historical lies like “the big R and D flip” in the south.

    It’s kinda like this CV19 thing, isn’t it? There are those who cower in fear and believe everything Fauci says is true, and there are those who value their freedom so much they would rather die of the virus than forfeit their rights.

  5. LBJ started this…keep giving the blacks free money, free housing, free shit, as long as they stay in the gettos…they will keep voting democrat…period.

  6. …Black people are also losing to African illegal immigrants…businesses like ’em because they’re cheap, tend to seek employment in packs, actually show up (because they all come in the same car) AND let businesses check TWO Affirmative Action boxes, Black AND Muzz), and are less likey to indulge in on-the-job drug use.

    They can hire all of Eritia and NO American Blacks, and get nothing but pats on the back from the Federal Government.

    ..and Democrats like ’em because Muslims don’t vote for leaders – then Koran specifically says a!!ah picks your leaders FOR you…so Muslims vote for whatever is BAD for America.

    …the law says “Thou Shalt Hire Black”.

    …don’t say a DARN thing about “American”…

  7. The Democrats don’t care about the black people. They only care about the black votes. As more and more Hispanics are able to vote, they’ll pander to them instead of the blacks, and the blacks will get replaced.
