We Are ‘Not Zero Percent’: Young Black Romney-Supporters Prove NBC-WSJ Poll Wrong

On Monday, TheBlaze took an in-depth look at the Republican Party’s roots and its long history as the upholders of Civil Rights. Still, despite being the anti-slavery party of Lincoln, members of the African American community have, in large numbers, migrated to the opposite side of the political aisle.

With a line-up of speakers at the Republican National Convention that is arguably more diverse than those in the past, and with a recent NBC-Wall St. Journal poll revealing that “zero percent” of African Americans approve of Mitt Romney, black conservatives around the country are speaking up, and out, in support of limited government and fiscal responsibility — the hallmarks of the GOP.

To glean greater insight, TheBlaze’s Benny Johnson took the convention floor on Thursday to speak with Chelsi Henri and Ashley Bell — some of these very conservatives — to find out why they made the leap from Democrat to Republican.

“They didn’t call me…Look at the two of us,” Henri, who is the first in her family to vote Republican, said in response to the “zero percent” polling figures.

“That’s not zero percent,” she added.

The Jacksonville resident went on to explain that the GOP more closely represents her personal value system and that she believes welfare and entitlement programs are the cornerstone of “modern day slavery.”

Bell chimed in, stating that he switched parties in 2010 after realizing that “Senator Obama” is a far cry from “President Obama.”

“The majority of blacks agree that we are not better off today than where we were four years ago,” he said.

Rationalizing why he voted Democrat in the 2008 election, the young conservative from Gainesville said that he believed Obama “was pragmatic and trying to be responsible” at first, something he likely no longer believes to be true about the president. He said that he hopes to make the case to the country “that we can do better” and that the Republicans can show America “how to do better.”

The outspoken duo also condemned Democrats’ use of the race card, class warfare and its “politics of envy and jealousy.” To this end, Henri and Bell took a moment to address Vice President Joe Biden’s recent inflammatory remarks, when he announced to an audience comprising roughly 50 percent African Americans, that Romney would put “y’all back in chains.” The comment drew ire from conservatives for its obvious allusion to slavery, yet oddly went unaddressed by members of the Democratic establishment.

“Did he seriously just say that?” exclaimed Henri in response, before pointing out that Biden‘s comment was particularly egregious given that it was given while serving under the country’s first African American president.

“Who’s “y’all?” asked Bell incredulously.

“Someone from Delaware saying that doesn’t make any sense to me,” he added. The young conservative noted that he was upset most by the fact that the Left stood behind Biden in the wake of his insult and that Biden himself stood by the comment.

He noted that it’s “one thing to gaffe,” but entirely another to come out and say that you stand behind that gaffe and in fact meant what you said.

    THIS is going to snowball, as folks break away from the plantation owners that have held them first, in physical bondage, and now in financial and intimidation bondage. As they breath the air of Independence, they’ll want their children, families, friends and neighbors to taste and then LIVE it!

      Agree with V15 -singling out Americans because they happen to have African ancestry is ridiculous. There has also been oppression of many other nationalities and groups. It’s only a victimization and guilt trip for people who had nothing to do with past injustices. MlK day has also turned into furniture sales and black liberation theology shoved down everyone’s throats. It‘s thus a catalyst for hatred and is ironically the opposite of what MLK’s message: to judge a individual by his character, over skin color. The “caring” democrats use victimization and guilt as weapons to help realize their socialistic and communist dreams (of central gov’t. power)

      Thanks to Republicans, black people were emancipated and finally a civil rights act was passed to give them equal rights. Democrats fought bitterly until they lost, then they figured out a way to use black people again. They could not keep blacks from the bathrooms, fronts of buses and eating establishments so they began convincing black people that Republicans are their enemies. Black leaders signed on for the power it gave them. Now, after decades many black people will vote for blacks just because they are black. Issues don‘t mean much except that liberals keep telling them they can’t succeed without a paternal government and in spite of the many black people who do, the majority still believe the liberals.

But at least I know 2 that are not voting for him a second time. He turned his back on God and that was it for them…if a person can do that…then what else can he do? Most of my friends are ethnic of some sort and most are Obama supports …but so are most of my friends, even those from the old USSR block countries…they see no correlation between Obama and communism.

      I really appreciated hearing from these two young people. Their voices need to be heard as well, and it is the DEMOCRAT party who calls them names and puts them down when Democrats find out that a black person is Conservative. I’ll never forget how vile MSNBC was to Herman Cain. Also, I just e-mailed Mitt Romney campaign and suggested that if he would emphasize more how he is in favor of school choice for parents then he would win the hearts of many Hispanic and Black Americans, because of course all good parents want their kids to receive a good education for a good start in life. It is so obvious that President O-blame-a is only going to listen to Union bosses above what parents want for their kids. I hope people will suggest for Mitt to emphasize school choice more. I am so passionate about parents getting back in control of their kids schools and it is such an important thing to do, because it is only right that ALL kids get a fair chance for a good education. The Unions and their bosses are a scourge in this country.

      After working as a prison sergant then a police officer for 25 years, I have gained many black friends, they thought the same was as I did and realized that many of their own people were looking for a free ride through social programs offered by the government and they also realized that nothing is free in life and that welfare is for those that fall on temporary hard times, it was not created for able bodied workers who prefer to hang out all day getting their drink on or being on a corner selling drugs to their own people for the almighty dollar. They also realize that black on black crime kills more black males between the ages of 15 to 45 then any disease and that many blacks don’t value the lives of others. If it weren’t for some of my black friends, I woluld not be here writing right now, I would have been dead and my daughters would be fatherless growing up and by the same token, they would also be dead since I saved their lives also and watched them embrace the American Dream, knowing at all times where their kids were and who they were hanging with, helping them with their homework and making sure they learned while in school not doing drugs or planning who to rob or which teacher they would beat up. Living in Philadelphia, they were registered Democrats since they know to be anything else they had no future or career, but in reality they were true conservativives both in actions as well as in words. They are a minority of the blacks, but proves the 0% is false

    A large reason they join the democratic party in droves is because they are not being educated about the truth, as these two being interviewed seem to be learning. They tend to think that our founding fathers were racist slave owners, all while ignoring the truth about why they had the 3/5 clause in the constitution (if they even know anything about the constitution), or the fact that after declaring independence more than half the states immediately abolished slavery. They ignore the fact that the democratic party was established to be a party that would support the slave states. They ignore the fact that it was a republican president, in fact the founder of the modern republican party, who signed the emancipation proclamation, and brought this country into a civil war in order to establish their freedom. They ignore the fact that it was democrats who instituted the Jim Crow laws during and following reconstruction. They ignore the fact that it was Woodrow Wilson a democrat who segregated the army, that it is progressives that favor them killing their babies, uhm, err, having abortions. But hey, they don’t want to educate themselves about the history of their party, and would rather become slaves to the state and vote like it, then more power to them.

    The problem is that if you are Black and believe in being the best that you can be and achieving something on your own then those people are demonized by: (1) The progressives that need to keep them dependent on them so that they can remain in power or (2) The Black community leaders like Rev. Jackson and Al Sharpton that make their living on their dependency.

    My personal view is that I would be ashamed that I needed power so fervently that I would do anything to keep it. What happened to being honest and sincere and wanting the best for each indivudual. What happened to being proud when a person achieved their persnal goal of success through hard work and determination.

    If the MSM had shown many of the speeches at the RNC Convention the public would have been shown that Mitt Romney is a deeply caring man and has served his community through devotion and dedication because he believe in helping others.

    The Public would also have been shown many successful Black and Hispanic success stories. That individualism and character is an important trait instilled in all of us. That individual goals are there for each and everry person if they reach inside of themselves and strive for it.

    That is what makes America great. Living off Government dependency only makes one a slave to the Government. That keeps Government in power over its people.

    No matter how it should be.
    No matter how you want it to be.
    No matter what is right or wrong.

    The percentage is 0.000001, essentially zero.

    The black Republican club in my town are not “like-minded” but they realize that they have to go along to get along. They are essentially using their Republican Party for their own ends.

      This comment makes absolutely no sense. 0.000001 goes along to get along. What does this actually mean. Are you saying that this minute number goes against the grain and risk scorn and criticism only to get along with the Republican Party.

      Are you saying that a small minority of blacks risk isolation and then follow particular party just to get along.

      You are sounding more and more like Chris Matthews and Ed Shultz.

      I wish you could clarify your comment so that people like me could understand what you are talking about.

      Today I was reading who was going to speak at the DNC and what they were going to talk about….being so concerned with derision, they have divided up the speakers based on race: The Congressional Black Caucus, The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and the Pacific Asian Caucus..and it goes on and on….Your seniment is WRONG is asserting that thier is a Black Republican Group, because they don’t exist…In the GOP we are all equal and are all AMERICAN and there is no daylight between its members, especially when it comes to race. It is our values and ideas that make us united….Your comment is not only unfounded, but you have no idea what the GOP is about, zip, zero, nada….Go troll on HuffPo, where all the like minded mind numbed robots like to hang out, with all their lack of free speech and all.

    There are probably more conservative black people than you or I know. I grew up in the south and saw that there are a lot of good black people. The democratic party, however, has been lying to the black people for over a century. If i were black, i’d be pissed for being lied to and manipulated.

    Two points though:
    (1) I don’t like the term “African-Americans” We’re all Americans, so why separate yourself from the rest of Americans?
    (2) Abolish Black History Month especially in public schools. How can we move forward as Americans if one month per year by promoting white guilt and being taught we should feel guilty that blacks were slaves. I think our country has made huge leaps forward and that these issues are not relevant; rather, these issues hold us back as a nation by dwelling on the past.

    v15 – I don’t understand why we have black history month. We don’t have Irish, German, Asian, etc. month. There were a lot of blacks in our early history that excelled and contributed greatly to America. Study those and learn how they can achieve and contribute. Why stay stuck in slavery, even if thats what the Progressives really want. We need more young people like in this article to lift up our young black people. I am proud of them for speaking out.

    The Native Americans DID NOT need nor deserve the reservations. The immigrants who landed on the shores of the Native American HOMELAND, began to rape the land, nature and the Indian’s way of life. In classic reaction to being advised to treat the Native Americans with respect, they falsely branded the Native Americans as ” savages: rapist and murderers and arrogantly began to systematically annihilate another race under the guise of being the victims of savagery. Brave courageous Indian fighters??…..I think not……stupid, holier than thou immigrants more likely.

    Blacks in this country are NOT Africans. People actually from Africa hate them! Thank God , some blacks are getting it and some have known it all their lives, when you become a member of our society you leave your old world behind and become an AMERICAN! The majority of blacks in this country were born here and have NO IDEA what it really means to be African and be able to come to this country and be a citizen. How many true Africans, in Africa celebrate Quanza? NONE.
    I dont call myself a German,Scottish, Cherokee Indian American, IM JUST AMERICAN. The left are the ones who put people in catagories and boxes. They are the racist. Conservatives (TEA) believe ALL MEN are created equal and have equal opportunity to suceed, no matter who you are or what color your skin is. I think it is amazing that blacks talk about MLK all the time and never live by his wonderful words. SAD!

    I once had Walter Williams speak to my university class and I asked him about the term “African-American” and he said that he would punch anyone in the mouth for calling him that term. He would not let anyone steal his “Americanness” that so many have fought and died for including in the demonstrations for civil rights to provide all Americans with equal rights to be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character…and that putting “African before American” made black folks less of an American and labeled them as separate or segregated and that is just what the liberals have wanted in order to keep Black folks down and controlled in modern day slavery to the Democratic party. Read the book “The Omni-Americans” by Albert Murray who is a liberal but hates the term African-American which was devised by the government to classify people by racial background.

    @Chicago…i can see the logic in your thoughts regarding african/american animosity but i’m having a VERY hard time understanding why Indians “needed their own reservations.” why? so that greedy, slimy, land-grabbing whites could violate a signed treaty, and brutally herd our ancestors onto “reservations” to be supervised by the government so that your great-great grandparents could illegally occupy our homelands? yeah, you’re right-we really needed that. idiot.
