It’s widely spoken in the Republican and Conservative circles regarding Black voters voting Democratic and receiving nothing for their votes. So, as Donald Trump once said “What the hell do you have to lose” by voting for him: a misogynistic, unqualified, racist, sexist, islamophobic, foreigner-hater with zero political experience?

This is a historic occurrence spanning 5 decades and with the Republicans outright stripping Black people of their interests such as peeling back voter rights, property rights, voter IDs, encouraging tougher laws that unfairly imprison the poor, redistricting, drug wars, and create more laws to disenfranchise the Black (and Brown) population, why do Black people have hope toward a certain party and why won’t either party take Black people seriously?
