Leader of New Black  Panther Party says it’s time to “reexamine the relationship” that black voters have with the Democrat Party.
Quanell X, leader of the New Black Panther Party in Houston, Texas, said this week on a local news program that black Americans should “truly examine†Donald Trump’s outreach to the black community and “reexamine the relationship†that black voters have with the Democratic Party.
“Let me say this to the brothers and sisters who listened and watched that speech. We may not like the vessel that said what he said, but I ask us to truly examine what he said, because it is a fact that for 54 years, we have been voting for the Democratic party like no other race in America.
And they have not given us the same loyalty and love that we have given them. We as black people have to reexamine the relationship — where we are being pimped like prostitutes, and they’re the big pimps pimping us politically, promising us everything and we get nothing in return.
“We gotta step back now as black people and say, we’ve gotta look at all the parties and vote our best interests.”
