“The best is yet to come” | Doc Rich

Click above for the video (Doc Rich)
The Black vote in America has long been locked up by the Dems. This demographic reliably voted 90%-plus Democrat. Now they’re shifting to GOP, with a 20 point swing to the Republicans.

This clip above -- from a Black podcast of Doc Rich -- is interesting  for the guests Trump asks on stage. The first is Ottis Anderson and the second Lawrence Taylor. Both famous NFL players. Both lifetime Dem voters, now voting for Trump. They’ve got a presence, right?

The 100,000 figure was not Trump’s, but from the township of Wildwood, New Jersey. It’s Jersey Shore. New Jersey is a solid long-time Blue state, so getting that sort of crowd is quite something and surely covering the Biden camp. 

ADDED: I follow a number of Black podcasts, both left and right. Here are some, with their general leaning, Dem or Rep:

  • Doc Rich (R);
  • The Conservative Black Perspective (R);
  • Nate the Lawyer (R);
  • Charlemagne The God (D);
  • The Breakfast Club (D);
  • Stephen A. Smith (D);
  • Coach Colin (R). 

The Black vote is critical. And Black podcasts help to understand the Black vote. 

I reckon I’ve got a bit of a feel for what’s grinding the Black community through these and one of those is most certainly that they’re really, really pissed off that illegal immigrants are coming into their communities and being given lodgings at their community centres, given free smart phones, given monthly allowances, given food and clothing. While their own Black communities still suffer. 

They don’t like that, not one little bit. 

BTW: “Illegal immigrants” were first renamed “undocumented migrants” and now, most recently they’re being called “newcomers”. So nice sounding. But no, let’s not buy into that. They remain illegal. Just as I would be if I didn’t have a visa and avoided the customs people. Sure, there’s the “refugee” thing, but that’s just gaming a system that’s no longer fit for purpose.
