How come more black people don't vote Republican?

I am a 17 year old black male who will be turning 18 in August. When I do, I will be registering as a Republican. In my opinion, the Republicans have the best interests in mind for this country. Here is why I will register as a Republican:

#1. They are against abortion. Abortion is murder, and certainly NOT a woman's right. Where is a woman's "right" to an abortion mentioned in the Constitution?

#2. They are for tougher punishment of illegal aliens. Why should my tax dollars go towards people who are not citizens? My tax dollars going towards US citizens who don't want to work for their own way of living is bad enough.

#3. They are against too much money being appropriated into social programs such as welfare and food stamps. I get that some people actually do need this help, but a substantial amount of people cheat the system. I lived in the ghetto for a while, so I know this to be true.

#4. They support traditional marriage. I'm not saying that gays shouldn't have the right to be together, but marriage is for straight couples. Let them have civil unions with the same legal rights as a married couple.

#5. Unlike the libtards of the Democratic Party, the Republicans are not trying to restrict my gun rights. I'm all in for REASONABLE restrictions, not the ones that libtards are trying to roll out.

#6. They are not religion bashers like the Democratic Party. I REFUSE to say "Happy Holidays." I'm saying Merry Christmas whether you like it or not.

#7. They do not try enforce political correctness, unlike the Democratic Party. I'm not going to stop saying something just because somebody feels offended. It's called the First Amendment, you stupid libtards,

#8. I am losing faith in this generation of libtards. It seems that the more liberal the generation, the dumber that this country is becoming.

Don't get me wrong, there are some liberal ideas I support. Using tax dollars to rebuild aging infrastructure and protecting the environment are two examples. Also, I get how trickle-down economics is ideally supposed to work, but I think that it doesn't always work that way. Other than that, the Democratic Party is not good for the African American community. They preach of reliance on the government instead of working for what you want, and unfortunately, the people of my race have followed these teachings to a tee. No wonder that 39% of all welfare recipients are from my race, a race that only constitutes 13% of the population of this country! The Republican Party stands for how the American Dream used to be accomplished: through hard work and dedication. Now, my generation of libtards is set to further damage the greatest country in the world. How come more black people, and people in general, vote for the Republican Party?

Update:

@Rev Hal. Luya Why do I have to be a troll? Is it because I am a black person who can see through the lies of the Democratic Party? This party is not only poisonous to my race, but is poisonous to this great country that I proudly call home!

Update 2:

@rayal I use the term "libtard" so liberally because some of the BS that the Democratic Party spews out seriously pisses me off! Abortion, expanded entitlement programs on MY tax dollars, letting illegals reside in this country after sneaking in, giving prisoners more rights, etc. The list goes on and on...

@Dee I turn 18 on August 29th, three days after my first semester of college starts :D

    1 - Doesn't matter, there's no legit reason to deny it.

    2 - Identity theft is very common with illegal aliens, and you're obviously forgetting about legal immigrants. It wouldn't matter if undocumented illegal aliens didn't get money, there would still be illegal aliens committing fraud in order to receive benefits.

    3 - Why do you even have a government, then? USA has some of the lowest personal taxes in the world, so stop whining. And no, Republicans are against money not going to their party or their friends.

    4 - It's unconstitutional to deny people anything based on sexual orientation, including marriage, so therefore your argument is invalid. Calling it something else doesn't make it constitutional.

    5 - You already have restrictions to free speech, for example: slander, libel, fraud, impersonating an officer and uttering death threats. You have restrictions to bearing arms (which means "weapon", not "gun"), for example: you can't bear a nuclear weapon, or radioactive material as a weapon.

    6 - Republicans aren't allowed to say Merry Christmas either, as they are a government body. USA is a secular country, and always has been. No government body can promote one religion over another. It doesn't matter if the country runs around a christian schedule.

    7 - Yes they do. Ever heard of "enhanced interrogation techniques" ? Just another word for "torture".

    8 - Hard left Liberals are just as nuts as hard right Conservatives. They're hypocrites, but they're a lot smarter than the right, who are just plain ignorant.

    The Republicans have put forward methods to prevent African Americans from voting, by making voting virtually impossible in areas highly populated by African Americans, merely because they would vote for the Democratic Party. The Republicans are taking away services (such as public schools, and low cost community colleges), so that their buddies can make more money. Republicans are allowing openly racist candidates to run as incumbents. Republicans are giving tax breaks to the "job creators" (aka people who don't need them), who are not creating any new jobs at all (the facts don't lie).

    This doesn't mean I'm a Democratic supporter either. They are just as bad. There is no good major party to vote for, and because most of the american voters are too stupid to know any different, they're just creating more problems for themselves by electing the obvious wrong choice over, and over, and over.

    These are just facts. Don't hate the messenger.

    EDIT: The whole "entitlement" argument is a myth. It doesn't exist. Prisoners having more rights does not affect you in any way. Just because you're in prison doesn't mean all your rights go out the window.

    It's ignorant people like you who are leading your country into its next depression.

    I doubt you are black, you sound green troll. In case you aren't a lying fool, I'll set you straight on a few of the lies you have been told. Truthfully, I would still expect you to choose to vote republican, but you seem to have bought into a bunch of Republican lies. Contard!

    Trickle down economics has never worked. Not once. You can't help the middle class or the poor by giving money to the rich. The Democrats do not preach reliance on the government. They feel that children should not suffer and die because their parents are stupid and lazy--and sometimes that gets abused. They want everyone to have the opportunity to make something of themselves with hard work. The republicans attempt to remove educational and other opportunities for advancement. Would it matter how hard you work if you had no school to learn to work, and if no one wanted to give you a job that would ever let you be anything but poor? Would you have stayed in the ghetto without an education? I have never heard any Democrat, from FDR to Obama, say that anyone was going to be better off relying on the government than by working hard--contards told you that.

    Finally, political correctness is just manners. It's a free country--you can ignore it if you want and you will seem ill-mannered. If someone doesn't want someone with no manners working for them, they can fire you. There is no law that says that you can say anything you feel like and that nobody can do anything about it--there is just a law that says that saying anything you want is not a crime. If you want to say it, you can. If someone doesn't want to associate with someone who thinks that way, they can. Freedom cuts both ways.

    Republicans have been been attempting to instruct black human beings for 2 many years now that the Democrat occasion takes them with none attention, and all of the adverse black inhabitants does is spit of their faces. it is not that Republicans do no longer care, it is that black human beings basically vote Democrat and no volume of campaigning is going to alter that. Blacks, for the main section, refuse to vote Republican, so why waste components to attempt and get the vote, while they won't vote for you besides?

    1) Wrong. Every studies show that attitudes about abortion from blacks mirror the population as a whole. On average about 70% of the population favors the legality of abortion and 30% opposes it, the only two outliers are atheists and Jews in which it is closer to an 85/15 split:

    http://www.aei.org/files/2012/01/20/-attitudes-abo...

    2)Again, not true. This is not cited anywhere.

    3) Definitely not true.

    4) Also not true. Three recent polls indicate that a majority of blacks support gay marriage.

    http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/african-am...

    5) Show me any law passed in the last 10 years by democrats that actually restrict your gun rights? Are background checks and limits on high capacity magazines really restricting your right to have gun?

    6) 85% of Democrats are Christians. No Democrat has ever tried to pass a law preventing you from saying "Merry Christmas."

    7) Same as above. Has any Democrat ever tried to pass a law requiring political correctness? No.

    8) The country is definitely getting dumber. Just look at your post. You made 7 statements that were either simply false or outright lies to prove your point. Talk about stupidity.

    Liberals are so opened minded their brains may have fallen out.

    The Liberal ideology is a theory , fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and which holds forth beliefs that have no basis in reality.

    They are Advocates of a policy that empowers a strong federal government to enslave its people with a high tax burden incident to the support of extravagant and unnecessary social programs destructive to both the work ethic among the lower class, and the incentive to innovate and succeed among the working class.

    Liberals like to spend other peoples money!!

    A democracy will continue to exist up until

    the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous

    gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority

    always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from

    the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally

    collapse over loose fiscal policy

    1) I am a purple elephant 17 years of age

    2) Letting a dying fetus take the mothers life is taking 2 lives. Organized religion does not even use the real meaning if the bible they make it all up. The family makes the decision, not some politician who preaches small gov and then dictates what citizens can do.

    3)Corporate Welfare is the big problem not the victims of their outsourcing jobs.

    4)The bible does not dictate gay marriage nor say priests can not marry.

    5)Calling people names is childish. background checks are a problem for those who should not have gun rights in America such as terrorists. Arizona walks guns to the cartel for profit.

    6)Christianity has nothing to do with the crazy political propaganda nor their quotes. Separation of church and state, not religious tribes like the middle east.

    7) Haters are not christian

    8)This is not nazi germany this is America

    My black friends who work full time jobs and raise children, and who are not alcoholics or drug addicts are ALL Republicans.

    But many of my white friends who do the same are still libertarians, Obama supporters, even if they aren't gay or bi.

    My friends, regardless of color, who are alcoholics or drug addicts, who do not have a reasonably good paying job or who are un-hirable due to bad habits or irresponsibility or for that reason never hold the same job long, and those who have been in the military or who have been in prison and who are lost are all libs, regardless of color.

    And so, you see, I know far more dems than Reps. In other words, most people I know aren't rational thinkers. In my personal opinion no rational think supports any of the candidates that were offered. Rand Paul had some points, but he was attacked for having at some time in the distant past for making the kind of comments that caused Mel Gibson to be passed over for parts.

    you want to sit around and call names like a child... call us back when you grow up...

    you have no respect for liberals.. "libtards"... yeah, we get it, you're a troll...

    if you REALLY had EVEN THE SLIGHTEST support of liberal ideas, would you call liberals names?

    just look around on here for 5 minutes and look at all the cons that say ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE WORTHLESS AND THE REASON WHY EVERYTHING IS WRONG IN AMERICA...

    why did you mess America up? you say you love cons, so how often do you apologize for the fact that you ruined the nation and that white's are perfect?

    EDIT: no on cares about your excuses for your name calling

    EDIT: are you cool with people using the n-word? are are you all "pc" when it comes to that?
