African Americans - lets push the vote for them... c'mon

[Lord Xar]

Listen.

This is a PRIME yield voting block.

END the war
END the federal income tax
END the war on Drugs
Equality and true liberty.

Ron Paul's message will resonate the most with this group than any other candidate. Dem or Repub.

We need to target the larget hiphop youtubes, small hiphop youtubes, forums and message boards, or more contemporary music forums.

I will tell you something, a HUGE swath of Black Americans are actually very open to communication and expression. They just want to be dealt with on an even level or real level.

A GREAT example is that youtube of the meetup member of that black female talking sense.

Think how much more economically vialble and real chance the black community would get with NO taxes and a end to the war on drugs that treats those with drug addictions as criminals rather than those needing medical help. Also, the concept of individuality.

Part of what I am saying is just to get the "word out" in that demograhpic.

"Lets emphasize the anti-drug war message on hip-hop forums"

You, sir, are the picture of ignorance.

 

[Eric23]

This may be a shocker to you, but not all blacks do drugs.

"Lets emphasize the anti-drug war message on hip-hop forums"

hahaha... well, my point is the demographic. Hop Hop forums though are predominantly "white", percentage wise they are predominently black. My point being, lets get the word out.

Also, I am more than qualified to make such statements. Though i do not listen to such music I don't think it is ignorant. There are a ton of underground hiphop movements that mostly visited by black americans.

I would be a little more careful on who is labled ignorant. Stop being so politically correct. And lighten up frances.

What the frig is wrong with you people? This is NOT ABOUT JUST THAT!!
stop being so Politically correct.. gotdayum.

This is NOT taboo to talk about. And I did not SAY ALL, did I? This is the same pandering political bullshit that everyone has to deal with - the forum police.

Go look up statistics okay. EVEN that woman on youtube mentions it. MANY INNERCITIES are plagued by it. It is not some UNKNOWN quantity ---

and it is a problem. IF YOU ARE ON BOARD that it is infact a 'sickness' then you would understand that it is a GOOD thing to talk about.

I also mentioned the WAR and INCOME TAX... <-- did you mention that?

Also, based on percentages - would you say more black men are behind bars? WHY???? DRUGS!!!!!!!!
Man, you people need to get over yourselves. My proposition is to HELP, not hinder.

INDIVIDUALISM, NOT COLLECTIVISM.. get on board.

BUT - just so the forum police think its wrong...

I guess she is wrong too!

A great place would be setting up tables in flea markets in any minority neighborhoods and try talking to hair dressers and barber shops in black areas, a lot of net working goes on there.

- Congressman Paul believes that the War on Drugs has ravaged our inner city communities by increasing crime, destroying families, robbing our young men and women of their futures, and must be stopped.

- Congressman Paul believes we should stop treating drug addiction as a criminal issue and start treating it as the public health issue it is.

- Congressman Paul believes that our nation's judicial system is biased against poor and minority defendants and has renounced his support for the death penalty because of the unfairness of the system.

- Congressman Paul believes we should end illegal immigration which is taking away the entry level job opportunities struggling families need to get ahead.

- Congressman Paul believes that we should create tax free zones to revitalize our inner city communities by stimulating growth and employment.

 

[Voice]

Now how can we get that information disseminated?(SP?)

 

[dircha]

I recommend watching the online video of the PBS minority issues GOP debate if you are looking for video clips.

 

[Lord Xar]

yes, I am aware of the support in NH - but wasn't aware of it translated 'outside of that state'.

All I was actually considering is moving the concentration outwards a little online. I think the disillusionment we see is much more profound amongst certain groups. It is okay to try and capitilize on that, especially with Ron Paul's message.

Nice I'll try to remember this. Josh you have added a lot of good sub forum boards, but I would think having one that is dedicate to to each of Ron's issues such as this one. Each issue could have a separate board in the that main one. So many good points come up such as this that we need ready access for our rebuttals and converting

Hellooo.. the "war on drugs" have put so many urban youth in jail. That is one of the reasons why many African American neighborhoods are the poorest in the country, and their economic situation isn't changing.
With the stigma of 60%+ prison populations being "black", there is a lot of racial profiling that goes around.

 

[SeanEdwards]

This may be a shocker to you, but not all blacks do drugs.

Black people are disproportionately victims of the drug war. White kids in the suburbs don't go to jail for getting caught with a little weed. Black kids in the city are likely to have the book thrown at them for the same offense.

Then you've got all those cases of outright police abuse, where drugs are planted, or false accusations from lying police informers are used to send people to prison. These events come up in the news all the time. Do a search on rampart division, or the oakland riders if you doubt me.

Exactly, stop being so P.C. and get on with it. This is panning out to be a Seinfeld episode.

You want to get black people to listen to Dr. Paul then talk about how NAFTA, CAFTA, WTO, and other trade treaties have actually harmed working class African Americans. They are proportionately more affected because lots of jobs are outsourced to different countries. Moreover, many unions jobs that Blacks belong to are having their jobs handed down to illegal immigrants especially construction.

Believe or not, Blacks are more resentful about this and believe this is mainly the result of racism and how "the Man" is cheating him out of the American Dream. Whether this is true or not, regardless this really hits home for them. I personally believe it has to do with economics- saving a buck or two for the big corporatocracy.

Moreover, there has been an increase in tensions between Blacks and Hispanics in inner cities. Some may argument because of cultural differences. This may be part of it but the bigger issue is that many Blacks do as many others due in this country- scapegoat Hispanics. An unfortunate consequence, due to the lack of job availability for many Blacks across the country.

That' a good idea.
