I always wonder why the black population has put themselves in the position that they have. The democrats know they will always vote for them, so they never have to do any of the things blacks may want. The republicans know they will never vote for them, so they don’t have to do anything blacks may want. Of the two, which party still consistantly does more things that blacks agree with? School choice, no gay marriage and support of the second amendment are all issues republicans and blacks both support, yet blacks will vote democrat. They have, essentially, made themselves irrelevant as a voting block.
Further, whenever an issue comes up that blacks favor, but that another constituency of the democratic party is against, the party always favors the other constituency. They know they can ignore what the black population wants. School choice? Sorry, we favor the teachers union. No gay marriage? Sorry, we favor the small gay constituency. Support the second amendment? Sorry, we favor the small anti-gun crowd. It is all humorously sad.

If it does happen, which I doubt, it will be from 99.8% to 99.3% and that will be just because they hit the wrong button on the ballot screen.
