Black People Politics : Republican & Democrat, There Will NEVER be a 3rd Party

Great!

So, do you think it could possibly make any difference in our situation if black people collectively targeted specific banks and financial institutions in our neighborhoods and divested from those institutions?

Of course I do.

The golden rule:

"He who has the gold, makes the rule". I say that to say if we aren't about building economically, then political concerns (political parties) won't matter much. Both reps and dems are essentially bought and paid for. That's the game; pay to play.

Dr. Jeffreys teaches the same but adds a little more. That is, that politics are linked with economics and that's really the thing to study.

Economic success would be really hard without political success. Because politics controls who gets the contracts, how zoning works and how not to get messed over economically.

It's like Black Wall Street. They had the economics, but the politics was lacking, which is why White folk could aerial bomb their town without a consequence.

There is only one party.. The white party. And Dems, Repubs, Greens and Independants belong to that super power. Changing parties is like changing lanes on the freeway.. They're all headed the exact same place.. The status quo. The only difference between any of those groups is how they slice the imperialist pie.. Who gets what.. During their term...

The entire idea of a Republic is a sham designed to take away the sovereignty of the individual and the family unit.

As to the parties themselves, they are fences within which people, much like cattle, are herded to their eventual slaughter. On the left and on the right, they grow closer to one another over a distance--this is the narrowing of ideas over time.

The whole thing is a box designed to keep people from thinking outside of it.

Respectfully, I disagree. One has to pay to play not play to pay. To the latter, are the politicians paying off the 'interest groups' or are the interest groups paying off the politicians?

How many black politicians that we've help via the vote to get into office and has done next to nothing (of any great consequence) in our interest, from the alderman on up, in cities/towns across this country? Why has it been like that? Because while we vote them into office, it is 'the others' with the money that 'motivates' them. "Take the king's shilling; do the king's bidding".

So if there were, among us, a group of wealthy black folk (Or a well organized town/city) whose interest were inline with the community, they/we could go to the politicians we voted into office and say we'll support them if they do 'this that or the third':

'We'll build you a whole new state-of-the-art police dept. in your district if you 'ask' that chief of police for his resignation. In addition to that we buy a fleet of well equipped squad cars as well'. Give us a tax break and we'll bring an industry manufacturing [whatever] to your town, employing upwards of 2000 people'. ...That is what economic weight does on every level of govt.
