I posted this later[1]. I think overall voter turnout was slightly down. Also, I am not blaming Hillary's loss on specific demographics. Just let's not start fighting with each other. We all need to step up and get in the game for all.

"Why should we now help you? Serious question."

"We all need to step up and get in the game for all"

You answered your own question.

Look, we're not fighting about some abstract %. Can we agree to fight together? My whole point in this thread was that AA should join the anti-ban movement.

Edit: added not

I may have misunderstood your question.

>But black voters didn't turn out to vote for Hillary in support of Mexicans and Muslims. Why should we now help you?

Seemed like the opposite of coming together. My reading of it is; you're accusing black people of being unsupportive of the democratic candidate, and that consequently black people aren't owed the same unity you seem to be arguing for in later comments.

Sorry, Busy. Black people are Americans. So they can choose to do what they want like the rest of us.

Are you going to come out for us? I'm coming out for you either way.
