Stacey Dash made a statement while addressing the Young Black Leadership Summit in Washington DC, which reveals a Democratic strategy and also a major problem that Democrats will face in this election and many more elections to come.
The Black vote has been firmly in the pockets of the Democrats since the 1960’s when they were able to convince them that Republicans are racist, even though the fiercest opponents of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 were Democrats and in fact, a larger percentage voted for the act in both houses of Congress than Democrats did.
“They’re trying to divide men and women … when they divide, that’s how, divide and conquer. That’s what they’ve done to us,” Dash said. Since the Great Society and the welfare.”
“Get the men out of the house and let the women think they don’t need them,” Dash continued. “And what’s happened? Boys are growing up without men, so they’re not becoming men. You want a man? You want a man? Have a good man. Make a good man. Be a mother to a good man.”
“There is no greater job than being a mother,” Dash said. “But today, that’s something to be frowned upon. If you want to be a mother and stay at home with your children … [you are told] you have no aspirations. I’m sorry, I’m doing the hardest job on the planet. I’m raising the next generation.”
If they are dividing black men and women, it’s a sign that Democrats are on the verge of losing a significant portion of the Black vote and they are trying to stem the bleeding. Most pollsters agree that to win nationally, Democrats need at least 85% of the Black vote.
By 2020, they may not reach that goal. Especially if President Trump continues to improve their economic outlook and provide badly needed jobs.
