An influential poll from the New York Times and

Seattle college last month showed that 23% of registered black

voters said if the election was held today they'd vote for Donald Trump.

Now this is a big deal. Black voters historically vote

Democrat, overwhelmingly. Yesterday I sat down at South by Southwest with

Charlemagne the God. Charlemagne commands one of the largest young black

audiences in the country as co- one of the largest young black audiences in the country as

co-host of the breakfast club and he's become known for his blunt and provocative

interviews of politicians and his critiques of Joe Biden and the Democrats.

I'm the type person I feel like as a black person his critiques of Joe Biden and the Democrats.

I'm the type person, I feel like as a black person,

I don't see how we're beholden to either one of these parties.

I don't understand these black conservative crazies,

and I don't understand these black liberal crazy

visa I think as a black person you shouldn't be beholden to any

political party in this country because we haven't really seen uh... Democrats have done more we haven't really seen, Democrats have done more,

we haven't really seen anybody systematically

help us get out of the situation that we're in.

I think that's something that people never truly address.
