Why Democrat? A Love Letter to Black Americans

Black people may disagree on many things, but on one subject we are astoundingly unified: which political party to vote for. Black Americans overwhelmingly vote for Democrats. Why? Do Democrats care more for Black people than Republicans? Have Democrats fixed the problems facing Black communities? Have liberal policies lifted inner-city Blacks out of poverty or made the problems worse? With candor and well-researched thoughtfulness, this book examines many of the issues most important to Black communities, asking the question why Democrat? In addition, what does the Bible have to say about topics such as: • Abortion • Illegal immigration • Taxes • Gun control • The destruction of the family You may or may not agree with all this book’ s conclusions, but one thing is certain: Read with an open mind and you will find yourself asking, why Democrat?
