Blacks are typically a minority in a general election so they depend on the majority of the voting population to contribute enough votes to their candidate of choice to have a chance of winning.
In many cases the opposing party will try to discourage people to collectively vote with blacks and/or to reduce the power of minority voting using strategies from voter suppression to gerrymandering, increase voting times and places. So when you vote consider how your vote will impact the blacks and other minorities and their candidate and policy choices. Sadly wasteful non-voting and extreme voting practices by the privileged, such as voting for non-viable candidates has resulted in destroying the potential of the black vote to matter.

Get the Anonymous Extraordinary mug.A political stategy to remove or severely limit enforcement of provisions in the constitution that generally provide more freedom and liberty and rights by selectively enforcing provisions in the constitution that protect the rights of minorities and disadvantaged and basic freedoms of all. Also to knowingly appointing judges that will remove or severely limit provisions in the constitution that protect citizens, by writing absurd strategic legal opinions that misinterpret the constitution and to take provisions from the constitution out of its present-day context. so political, economic and social justice is perverted in favor of special interests.
Technically this strategy of deconstitutionalizing government can be done legally by directly changing the constitution, however, it is rarely done, mainly because taking away constitutional rights is highly unpopular.
Typically provisions are added to the constitution to give more rights and to remove loopholes.
Deconstitution is much like the political strategy of deregulation for nefarious purposes, such as to allow negative externalities and consumer fraud which hurt people in favor of special interests.
