Are Blacks Abandoning Obama?

Looks as if they are.

The way white independents have abandoned Obama months ago, what black voters choose won't have much of an impact...just like 2008.

He cares more about ILLEGAL HISPANICS than Black Americans.

Obama 2012

they need to

What is not widely known is that the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, a despicable chapter in the history of the Americas, was DOMINATED by Spanish speaking countries.

Unlike the more extensive Arab/Muslim Slave Trade, the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade depended on African go-betweens to secure their slaves. Yes, there were even Uncle Toms then!

Since most of the slave traders were spanish speaking they called the Africans taken as slaves "Negroes", which is nothing more than the Spanish word for black. The word has ZERO scientific meaning.

The Destination of Africans who were taken as slaves to the Americas during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade(1450-1900)

Brazil..........4,000,000..... 35.4%
Spanish Empire........2,500,000.....22 .1%
British West Indies....2,000,000.....17.7%
French West Indies...1.600,000.....14.1%
British North America
and United States........500,000......4.4 %
Dutch West Indies.......500,000......4.4%
Danish West Indies.......28,000......0.2%
Europe(and Islands).....200,000.....1.8%

The African Tommies became wealthy dealing with the Spanish and Portugese so Obama's preference is for Hispanics over blacks is predictable.

Doubt it.

It's self explanatory.
Obama nor any other politician can fix anyone's life.
Do it by yourself and for yourself first, then help your family, friends, neighbors, comuunities, towns, cities, states, etc.

If only blacks knew of the true history of the Democratic Party.
How many blacks know that following the Civil War, 23 blacks -- 13 of them ex-slaves -- were elected to Congress, all as Republicans? The first black Democrat was not elected to Congress until 1935, from the state of Illinois. The first black congressional Democrat from a Southern state was not elected until 1973.

Democrats, in 1854, passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act. This overturned the Missouri Compromise and allowed for the importation of slaves into the territories. Disgusted with the passage of this Act, free-soilers and anti-slavery members of the Whig and Democratic parties founded the Republican Party -- not just to stop the spread of slavery, but to eventually abolish it.

How many blacks know that blacks founded the Texas Republican Party? On July 4, 1867, in Houston, Texas, 150 blacks and 20 whites formed the party. No, not the Black Texas Republican Party, they founded the Texas Republican Party. Blacks across Southern states also founded the Republican parties in their states.

Fugitive slave laws? In 1850, Democrats passed the Fugitive Slave Law. If merely accused of being a slave, even if the person enjoyed freedom all of his or her life (as approximately 11 percent of blacks did just before the Civil War), the person lost the right to representation by an attorney, the right to trial by jury, and the right to habeas corpus.

Emancipation? Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War. In 1865, the 13th Amendment emancipating the slaves was passed with 100 percent of Republicans (88 of 88 in the House, 30 of 30 in the Senate) voting for it. Only 23 percent of Democrats (16 of 66 in the House, 3 of 8 in the Senate) voted for it.

Civil rights laws? In 1868, the 14th Amendment was passed giving the newly emancipated blacks full civil rights and federal guarantee of those rights, superseding any state laws. Every single voting Republican (128 of 134 -- with 6 not voting -- in the House, and 30 of 32 -- with 2 not voting -- in the Senate) voted for the 14th Amendment. Not a single Democrat (zero of 36 in the House, zero of 6 in the Senate) voted for it.

Right to vote? When Southern states balked at implementing the 14th Amendment, Congress came back and passed the 15th Amendment in 1870, guaranteeing blacks the right to vote. Every single Republican voted for it, with every Democrat voting against it.

Ku Klux Klan? In 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to re-establish Democratic control in Southern states. As PBS' "American Experience" notes, "In outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power. The most prominent of these, the Ku Klux Klan, was formed in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1865." Blacks, who were all Republican at that time, became the primary targets of violence.

Jim Crow laws? Between 1870 and 1875, the Republican Congress passed many pro-black civil rights laws. But in 1876, Democrats took control of the House, and no further race-based civil rights laws passed until 1957. In 1892, Democrats gained control of the House, the Senate and the White House, and repealed all the Republican-passed civil rights laws. That enabled the Southern Democrats to pass the Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, literacy tests, and so on, in their individual states.

Civil rights in the '60s? Only 64 percent of Democrats in Congress voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act (153 for, 91 against in the House; and 46 for, 21 against in the Senate). But 80 percent of Republicans (136 for, 35 against in the House; and 27 for, 6 against in the Senate) voted for the 1964 Act.
