Race Matters: Study Shows Young Black Americans Are LEAST Likely To Vote In Elections

Young Black Americans Are LEAST Likely To Vote A new study shows that young African Americans are not finding their way to the ballot box according to Washington Post : African Americans account for a larger share of Democratic primary voters this year than they did in 2008, but that is because of older black voters, not higher ­participation by younger black people. Across two dozen states where exit polls were conducted in 2008 and this year, black voters older than 45 grew from 12 percent of the electorate on average in 2008 to 16 percent this year. In those same states, black voters younger than 45 made up 11 percent of voters in 2008 vs. 10 percent this year. Democratic candidates and strategists have stressed the importance this year of all young voters, who heavily favored Obama in both of his election contests — and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont in this year’s Democratic primaries. But younger Americans are the least likely to turn out in elections: The share of eligible voters ages 18 to 29 who cast ballots fell from a record high of 48 percent in 2008 to 41 percent in the 2012 presidential election, according to the U.S. Elections Project. Fredrick Harris, a political science professor and director of the Institute for Research in African American Studies at Columbia University, said the success of the Black Lives Matter movement should not be measured only by voter turnout or candidate preference. It has succeeded at doing what no other black leaders have done, especially those who have lined up to endorse either Sanders or Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. “Voting is definitely one way, and I wouldn’t insult my ancestors by telling people they shouldn’t vote, but there are other ways of reimagining and restructuring the world, and that lies in organizing our communities,” said Ashley Williams, a 23-year-old activist who attends the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Tyga Kylie Break Up Hide ya kids! Tyga’s a free man again and is on the prowl for his next teen girlfriend after reportedly ending things with Kylie Jenner. And it surprisingly has nothing to do with Blac Chyna trying to make him an uncle to his own son. TMZ : Sources connected to the former couple tell TMZ … it happened days before the Met Ball last week. They were both at the gala, but they did not walk the red carpet together, and that was her decision. As for why … everyone’s being tight-lipped, but we do know this. Tyga took his mom and a model to Mother’s Day lunch … and he’s not telling his friends whether she’s his new GF. We also know this … the breakup was acrimonious. We’re told Kylie was bent out of shape that Tyga had the nerve to go to the Met Ball. He was only invited because of her, and she’s mad at herself that she didn’t think to have him made persona non grata. The website claims while the two have broken up before, this one is for real…9 months into Kylie being legal.

Blended Family Preciousness: Antonio Cromartie & Wife Terricka To Share Their Family Of 14 On Reality TV

In blended family news … Antonio And Terricka Cromartie Filming Reality Show Antonio Cromartie and his wife Terricka are set to show off their blended family preciousness on reality TV. As previously reported the couple’s expecting twins, baby 11 and 12 for the free agent, making them a family of 14. In Touch Weekly reports: When Terricka Cromartie first found out that she was pregnant with twins, she was hesitant to share the news with the world. And it’s easy to understand why; her NFL pro husband, Antonio, had gotten a vasectomy prior to conceiving the twins, who mark babies No. 11 and 12 for the 32-year-old football pro (who has eight children from previous relationships, in addition to his two kids — Jurzie, 6, and Jagger, 4, with Terricka). But in an exclusive interview with In Touch, Terricka and Antonio say that they are not only happy with their decision to share the news with the world — but they’re about to share even more, as they are filming a reality show about their blended family! When asked what the biggest misconception about his family is, Antonio couldn’t help but joke “everything,” and his wife hopes that opening their private life up to the public will change everyone’s perception of their unconventional, modern family. Sheesh, 12 kids???? Will YOU be watching??? Instagram
