When Blacks Voted 80 Percent Dem, Malcolm X Called Them "Chumps" By Larry Elder March 13, 2014 And things still haven’t changed. When blacks gave 80 percent of their vote to the Democratic Party in 1964, black activist Malcolm X called them "political chumps." White voters, X said, "are so evenly divided that every time they vote, the race is so close they have to go back and count the votes all over again. Which means that any bloc, any minority that has a bloc that sticks together is in a strategic position. Either way you go, that's who gets it." Yet Democrats, said Malcolm X, failed to deliver on a promised and much anticipated new civil rights bill, knowing the party could still count on their blind support in the next election. "You put them first," said Malcolm X, "and they put you last. 'Cause you're a chump. A political chump!... Any time you throw your weight behind a political party that controls two-thirds of the government, and that party can't keep the promise that it made to you during election time, and you are dumb enough to walk around continuing to identify yourself with that party -- you're not only a chump but you're a traitor to your race." What would Malcolm X say about today's 95 percent black vote? Did the Democratic Party keep its promises to promote family stability, push education and encourage job creation? Absolutely NOT!! Democrats say and promise Blacks and People of color jobs, educational benefits and hope. Why is 2021 different?!? Research and see what they have actually accomplished in the past 60 years…. It’s gotten worse. Nothing has changed. It almost did but, the Dems spent 4+ years accomplishing nothing but chaos and division. Don’t just vote! Vote to send a message ! Back in 2008, there was a statement that said, “Not voting for a candidate only because He IS Black is just as Racist as only voting for Him because He IS Black”. And in 2016, about Hillary Clinton. It said “ voting for a candidate only because She IS a Woman is just as sexist as not voting for a candidate because She IS a Woman”. This is not 1964! This is the future! This IS OUR FUTURE !! We can’t go back.
