For decades, white people have chosen the Republican Party. That is to say the majority of whites vote Republican & have since the early the 90s.

I've never said this before: Charles Barkley was right. Spot on actually. The Democratic Party relies on Black allegiance, but primarily uses it for white power. This needs to end right now. MY LATEST. https://theintercept.com/2017/12/15/charles-barkley-doug-jones-democrats-black-vote/ …

  Careful Shaun.. over-simplifying the issue doesn’t help the cause. Millions of white Americans are Dems and “all-in” on trying to make things right

  When corporate money is fueling candidates in both parties, what difference does a D or R really make?

  Although Union votes are only a fraction of the African American vote, Dems also use & rely on union votes do little to help us either.

  So what can people like me, white democrats, do? How can I help? There aren’t any non-white dem candidates in my area that have ran for office. But I sincerely want to help establish a balance in this country.

  Todays #Dems are yesterdays republicans. Wolves dressed in sheeps clothing.

  It’s changing. From Gen X on down - we won’t be satisfied with the status quo the Dems have maintained.
