Quote:It is sad but true, and yes, there are minorities who are starting to wake up to the reality that all the promises they've been fed by democrats over the years have barely been delivered on, yet they have continued to vote them back into office election cycle after election cycle. 

 

Not that the republicans have been any better. 

 

They're paralyzed for fear that they might offend someone by speaking their minds because they've been conditioned to believe that if they do, they'll be labeled racists by those who support the current administration.  It's the great neutralizer and they've fallen into the trap time and time again.  Any minority who cannot be identified as such visibly will wind up being labeled not (insert your minority of choice here) enough.  If they're visibly a minority (black in particular), they'll be tagged an Uncle Tom or a sellout.  We've all seen it. 

 

I see a change coming about within my own community (Hispanic).  Most that I know have the same values and principles that most conservatives hold, yet they have been "trained" all of their lives to vote democrat.  My own parents are an example, and I was very surprised when my mother expressed her interest and support for Marco Rubio over Hillary Clinton.  The interest has little to do with his heritage (though that probably has something to do with it I must admit).  They are life long democrats, yet they don't want to and would not vote for Hillary.

 

Me personally, I left the democrat party years ago, though at an early voting age that is the party that I associated with.  I was a member of the democrat party because of my upbringing.  My parents always voted democrat, so I thought that was the thing to do.  It wasn't until I "grew up" and saw things for what they are that I changed my party affiliation.  Today I remain in the republican party only so that I can vote in the primaries.
