Black voters in South Carolina handed President Joe Biden a major victory in 2020’s primary season. A year into Biden’s presidency, some say they’re unimpressed or dispirited. Others hope that his administration will have more accomplishments over time.

“I’m perplexed. At some points, I’m angry. I’m trying to see if there is anything redeeming,” said George Hart, 73, a professor and faculty adviser to the student chapter of the NAACP at Benedict College, a historically Black institution in Columbia. “I’m just so disillusioned, I don’t know what to say.

are near record lows. Some Black South Carolina voters who long supported Biden’s campaign hold out hope for his administration, while those who supported him reluctantly — or not at all — say they’re unimpressed.

Margaret Sumpter, a 64-year-old rural community advocate from Hopkins, blamed the stagnation of voting rights on congressional gridlock, not inaction from Biden, who she said was discovering that the bipartisan successes he had as a longtime senator didn’t necessarily translate to the presidency. “His campaign sold us on the idea that he was going to support some Black issues, and that’s not really happened,” said Lincoln, 44. “The people that were in his corner thought that was going to be the best move for him. It was more political strategy than anything.”

“Black people are the reason Joe Biden is president, and I don’t feel ... that there has been one time that he’s ever shown us a ‘thank you’ by way of policy,” said Frazier-Gaines. “Yes, his administration has given a lot of talented Black people opportunities to serve in different positions. All of that is cute, but that’s not doing anything to put food on the tables of Black families across the country.

“I don’t think he would have wasted all this time just for it to be lip service,” said Maxwell. “I think he’s very genuine, and I think he wants to keep everybody happy.”

Too funny

Suckers played for fools.

Wise up South Carolina SenSanders would bring you much needed help!!

🚨Dear Democrats💚 Admit it, Biden's choice was wrong. Among 360 million Americans Wasn't there a better man or woman ?

Then they needed to send Dem senators. Their lousy two are impeding progress.

That f* filibuster is the number one reason they should be afraid of getting us involved in a conflict because I for one sure as hell don’t feel like fighting to preserve the scam.

Gmafb how many filibuster fights do you have to be sacrificed for to get the picture, it’s a set up. Our democracy is a bipartisan scam. Wake up already…

President Biden needs to take action to improve the lives of Americans. Republicans are trying to destroy democracy and the idea of trying to work with them is an insight into a profound misunderstanding.

Black folks will always be fooled and taken for granted by Democrats

It's hard to make progress when rich, white, old men in Congress; specifically, the Senate, continue to be the party of NO! Voting Rights Act, fair immigration law, a robust healthcare system...An uphill battle given the need to keep power.

Jim Clyburn, Barack Obama, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, CNN, MSNBC & Co., come on down and collect your prize.

Donald Trump in the White House lived in a PARALLEL World Joe Biden in the White House lives in a DREAM World.

Biden is too old. I've worked with geriatrics who have more drive & accomplishments. Vengeance is a dark energy zapper & Biden has chosen PERSECUTION as his tool. He will NEVER SUCCEED Dark consumes. Why is he persecuting the TRUTH TELLER Assange FreeAssangeTODAY

“Some say…”

Still, he’s about 1000% better than the twice impeached orange guy. Biden doesn’t grab peoples genitalia and brag about it. Doesn’t make fun of the disabled. Doesn’t incite coups…I think he’s winning.

According to MitchMcConnell , Black voters are almost like real Americans.

OMG stop it. He's just a place holder so we can flush out the former guy.

Hmm pretty sure having 2 traitor Senators not helping!

He is the literal author of the most racist crime bill ever put forward.... Not sure why people of color voted for him.

Joe's a moderate democratic politician. What did MLK say about them?🤔

Why is everyone concerned about black voters? They are 13% of the population. They are a majority on the welfare system. They are disproportional responsible for crime. They absorb far more municipal services then most communities and they put far less tax $ into the system.

It’s only been a YEAR! What did Trump do in 4 years Besides stir up HATE, DIVISION, LIES ABOUT THE PANDEMIC, and fueled further mistrust of government

Whiners! Biden doesn’t have the Votes.

Why would they be surprised? He hasn't changed

Black folks knows that the issue is in theSenate. The states that sent Sinnema and other dude needs to go back to the table.

A race that has been manipulated by the left for decades. It is unfortunate that far too many don't see the light. The left is all about power and control. It isn't a party for freedom and the working man. It is a party of white elites that keep getting rich off the taxpayer.

Politicians don’t care about you.

BS. You seem to have forgotten MitchPlease said black Americans aren’t really American thus galvanizing the Democrats voting base for at least a generation. Complete gaslighting by the AP. The media continues to fail us each and every day.

WTF? AP you shame yourself right here!

Democrat Beto O’Rourke: ‘No interest’ in Texas gubernatorial campaign help from President Joe BidenAsked if he'd like Biden to come campaign for him, Beto O'Rourke ducked by saying he doesn't need anyone from outside the state to come. Good luck Beto.... ksusys I mean, he's right. This race is not about him, and it's not about Trump: it's about Abbott. Abbott wants the race to be about POTUS etc's job performance thus far won't get that wish to keep deflecting here. Beto proving his loyalty to Texans is above partisanship imo. I hope someone better gets in the race — Abbott definitely needs to be removed from office, but not sure about Beto. He doesn’t make sense either, he doesn’t want Washington help, but twice he wanted to go to Washington— he’s odd

Plus at the end of Jan all Federal workers will be set a minimum wage of $15. Research it It’s absolutely LOWER then that! POTUS incompetent and if that was Trump babbling nonsense like that and destroying the country, ever MSM outlet would be demanding his removal. The hypocrisy is really gross. Still better than Trump at the same time, lol.
