A new Quinnipiac University poll shows yet another perspective on the deep racial division in our country.

According to the poll, 86 percent of blacks compared to 50 percent of whites say that President Trump does not “respect people of color as much as he respects white people.”

However the partisan divide is even greater than the racial divide.

Ninety-one percent of Democrats compared to 12 percent of Republicans agree with the statement that President Trump is racially biased against people of color.

Bottom line: What we call a racial divide today is really a partisan divide.

Consider the remarks of Rep. John Lewis, who decided to not attend the opening of the new Civil Rights Museum in Mississippi because Trump announced he would attend. Lewis called Trump’s attendance “an affront to the veterans of the civil rights movement.”

Or the president of the NAACP who also announced he would not attend because of Trump’s attendance. NAACP President Derrick Johnson called Trump’s attendance at the museum’s opening “a distraction from us having the opportunity to honor true Americans who sacrificed so much to ensure that democracy works.”

But the “insult” to civil rights comes today from these very black leaders who claim to represent this movement.

The leaders who fought in the 1960s for civil rights fought for freedom and against stereotyping any individual because of their race. Freedom means living and thinking freely according one’s judgment and conscience. That is, blacks may have conservative as well as liberal views.

In 2016, 8 percent of black voters, or 1.2 million people, voted for Donald Trump. But these 1.2 million blacks don’t exist in the view of today’s “civil rights” leaders.

Like the Dred Scott decision in 1857, which declared blacks inhuman and therefore not eligible to be American citizens, so-called black leaders of 2017 declare the same status for black Republicans and black conservatives.

About 15 percent of black men between ages of 18 and 54 voted for Donald Trump.

A black leadership whose primary interest is black freedom, rather than left-wing politics, would be asking why this many black Americans voted for Donald Trump.

More careful reasoning would shine light among black voters that we have a president who is an independent thinker and who has the courage to fight against an entrenched status quo. And fighting against an entrenched status quo is something African-Americans need.

As Housing and Urban Development secretary, Dr. Ben Carson is creatively finding new approaches to the largely failed government housing programs.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz introduced an amendment to the tax bill just passed in the Senate that expands 529 college savings plans, which enables tax-free savings to pay for college, to include K-12 education. This will allow all parents to save tax-free and spend up to $10,000 per year on expenses for public school, private school, religious schools and home schooling.

This has huge implications for black parents and children. America’s most famous home-schooled American is Simone Biles, who won four gold medals in the 2016 Olympic games.

Soon the Trump administration and Congress will move on reforming our bloated and inefficient welfare programs. We are spending some $900 billion annually on anti-poverty programs that are helping to bankrupt the country and doing a very poor job improving the quality of life for the Americans these programs are designed to help. Black leaders should be anxious to participate in this vital and historic effort to do a much better job in how we assist low-income Americans.

It’s in the interest of every African-American to start thinking about freedom. This is what the civil rights movement was about. Not left-wing politics.

Was waiting on you.  Did you forget about freedom papers? 

The Underground Railroad?  American Indian Movement?  The Women's Suffrage Movement?  etc...People put their lives on the line for civil rights.  For freedom.  Not a political party.

Religious folks believe Jesus died for the sins of the world.  He freed us by accepting death.

The Underground Railroad -- the abolitionists, who were mostly Republicans.  The 13th and 14th amendments were their creation.  

Women's suffrage -- the 19th Amendment passed in the House 200 Republicans -yea and 100 Democrats - yea and in the Senate  36 Republicans - yea and 26 Democrats - yea.  Thankfully, presidents have no say in amendments.  Else, racist, misogynist progressive Democrat president Wilson would have vetoed it.  Suffragettes called him Kaiser Wilson.

And all the 'Democrats', from that time frame, are now Republicans. All the Republicans, from that time frame, are now Democrats. I find it quite humorous for the Republicans to claim the past Republican Party. The Republican party, of today, wouldn't tolerate the likes of Ronnie Reagan.

Democrats really haven't changed that much, they just found a way to use people with a high level of melanin in their skin. By sidelining Blacks in welfare and ruining the education systems in those areas to keep them there, patronizing Dems have created voting slaves. An Air Force One steward reported that Lyndon Johnson said to two Democrat governors: "I'll have those n-words  (My edit: rhymes with biggers) voting Democratic for 200 years.".

What did Trump ever do that caused the claim of racist/racism against him?

I can answer that one.  Trump became racist the day he become more Republican than a Democrat.  As you, and I know, he's been the same, non-racist, person all along who has demonstrated over countless numbers of years hiring and promoting the best of the best neglecting color or any other factors.  All that goes out the window the second he entered politics though.

There are several members of the minority communities who have started to ask the right questions and began to doubt what's been happening to them and putting things together but for the most part the Democrats still hold a great majority of their votes when they do vote.  Very strange in the same way that Planned Parenthood's founder who is championed by the liberal left essentially targeted minorities, mainly, for abortions and since abortions has wiped out a very large number of minorities.  

I also think over the coming years you will see more minorities question the Democrats allegiance to their cause when you start seeing how the party moves more and more to favor Hispanics which will become, or are, a much larger voting block and if forced to pick one's interest over the other the Democrats will logically pick the larger voting block especially when they already take the Black vote for granted as it is.   

Ironic isn't it that Black Americans in large part and numbers, support the party with historical members like "Bull Connor" and "George Wallace" and so many other very racist segregationist as well as the party that populated the KKK membership.  It was essentially the Republicans that was the reason that LBJ was able to enact Civil Rights yet that is lost history that is relegated to never be taught again.

Still quoting that old tale about Democrats morphing into Republicans and vica versa.  No, Demmies are same old lizards. Just like chameleons, they're the same old cold blooded lizards with a new paint job on their scaly hides.

Republicans have changed a LOT. The swap between Republicans and Democrats is well documented. If Republicans would spend a little time learning history, they may not be so quick to repeat the same mistakes over the next 100 years. Judging by this administration, they havn't learned a thing.

If you are referring to the post-1994 butt kicking when the rats were leaving a sinking ship, that was because Clinton seemed to be triangulating more toward socialism when he entered office in 1993. Starting in 1995, Clinton tried another polygon and worked with Newt Gingrich.

Now they are telling Native Americans we should stand with blacks and vote for and support demoslop candidates. "You of all people" they say. The discussions have gotten heated with me telling one black ***** that neither blacks or demoslops have ever done ONE thing to help me or any other NA that I know of, quite the opposite, because before this I was considered "white" and now because it's on the record as NA they come slinking around. Before they wanted to tell me how my ancestors treated their ancestors, which is BS. I told her she could shove her fake concern "where the sun don't shine", because  blacks have no message I'm the least bit interested in hearing, and no **** movement I'm interested in joining. I hope no NA falls for their BS.

Trying to tell a Republican facts is very similar to trying to nail jello to a tree.

Always pointing fingers at democrats....

Right wingnuts:  We don't know how to reach out to your communities and we can't relate to most of you,  but we need your votes so we can win elections....

Stoopid Demonratticks, always creating "facts" from thin air and ignoring history. Concerning federal powers, Republicans only seemingly became state rights advocates because Dems leapfrogged over them when they embraced Mussolini and Marx's economics. In the last election, Republicans only became blue collar best buddies because workers understand that a union card isn't much good if the factories moved overseas. When Blacks and other communities finally understand that Dems want them to take their free stuff, shut up and sit out the economy, stay out of the elite neighborhoods, and vote for Dems; then maybe those people won't need any other inducements to vote for their futures.

Blacks are learning that illegals, who work cheaper, are the new cadre drafted by the National Socialist Democrat Party.
