The black community should consider voting for both parties to break the cycle of being taken for granted by Democrats and dismissed by Republicans.

“I wish everybody in the black community spent one election voting Republican and it had nothing to do with policy. I said the reason why is because Democrats know they got our votes on lock so they get to take us for granted. Republicans know they don't have us so they get to dismiss us.”

Black Americans should strategically use their role as a large part of the Democratic base to demand and control policy that serves their community's needs.

“I want us to up our political chops and own the Democratic party in ways that you can own when you are a large part of their base.”
