An Open Letter to my Black Evangelical Friends (What is more important? Race or Moral Convictions?)

Well, it depends on what their leaders tell them about Herman Cain. Of course, we know what THAT answer is.

So, yes... I should’ve specified non-Republican blacks.

Didn't vote for Mitt or didn't vote at all?

It's good you did, though. People who didn't bother are contributing to the discouragement of others by keeping the vote totals from reflecting how much opposition to the fascist democrats there really is. I admit that's a psychological factor, but that's an important factor none the less.

When the actual size of the opposition isn't ever reflected, then even when something happens will suppress the democrat vote, a lot of the opposition will stay home anyway because they still won't believe they can tip the balance. You definitely did the right thing.

People in your position and in the places where “Mitt would win anyway” should also consider the fact that at least a few states grant the winner of the national popular vote a portion of the Electoral votes even if they didn't carry the State. That approach may very well become more common so people should get used to the idea that the national popular vote total is important even when their vote won't a difference in their State.

The fact that proves that the black vote is unique and based on something unpleasant, is that until 1936 blacks voted republican in every presidential election, 1932 was typical with about 70% of the black vote going GOP, and no one has any trouble understanding that.

Suddenly in 1936, the black vote went democrat by 70%, it totally reversed itself into the exact mirror image of what it had been for the republicans, a permanent, massive majority vote, in every single election, for the democrats.

There was no “growth” or “gradual change”, or an “increasing movement towards the democrats”, it was a total, instant reversal, done all at once, during the 4 years from 1932, to 1936.

And what was the reason for the sudden HUGE reversal in 1936? The Great Depression? FDR promising to take care of them with Federal largesse ? If that’s the reason, then Rush Limbaugh is right — It’s hard to fight Santa Claus ( until of course Santa runs out of toys to give ).

When 93% of blacks vote one way, you wonder about the other 7% — what got them off the plantation? Why can’t the 93% see the same thing? A black friend, neighbor and church brother of mine is so conservative, he stands to the Right of Ronald Reagan; I asked him why the 93% can’t see the truth, and he doesn’t know either.
