Given their self-identification, it's unlikely that Jewish Americans will break from their Democratic ways.

Silly comment. What percentage of blacks were Republican from 1860 to 1964? What percentage were from 1976 to today? Those biases can be changed relatively quickly by the right circumstances.

Help me understand.
Are you saying that the Civil rights movement was the turning point for Blacks towards the democrats or was it the Great Society? I always thought it was the New Deal.

Actually the black vote was perfectly republican until 1936, and then instantly switched to perfectly democrat that year, it is unique, they went from a pure GOP voting record to a pure dem voting record, instantly.

Jews have never gone republican, ever, in fact when given major candidates to the left of the dems (as in the 1920s), they flocked to them.

In 1920 while the democrat got 19% of their vote, the Socialist Party got 38% of it.

The switch in black voting patterns wasn't due to a change in black attitudes, but because of a near-reversal in political parties. The Democratic party was once the party of the Confederacy and States' rights, while the Republicans opposed it. By the 1960's, this was reversed.

The Democrats and Republicans changed, not the black voters. Similarly, as Republicans become more liberal (which is happening as we speak), I have no doubt that more ethnic and racial minorities will start to vote Republican. The point is, it's not the party label that matters, but what (if anything) that party label stands for.

Blacks went to the better panderer

This ideology of Jews....particularly Ashkenazim from east of the Rhine

Is more entrenched....I don’t think out pandering will change them

As I’ve aged I realize how much how you were raised and your family and regional culture plays

I’m southern white baptist.....social conservatism is natural to me

BTW....blacks turned to Dems in 1930s under New Deal.....not after Reconstruction ended

Plus I think most Jews....like anyone else can....will claim minority victim hood for the benefits

Tear down existing order that oppresses us.....which is utter bullshit in their case....hell they are the order these days

But its an easy lazy excuse to act in ones self interest

Plus its get back for some Country Club slight from the 1930s grandma always kvetched over

Why do Indians and Chinese and Japs.....do the same....they all prosper here too
