I had a random conversation with an unknown black lady today. She was probably in her late 50’s. She brought up Ebola and indignantly declared she didn’t understand why the federal government hasn’t closed the airports and sealed the border. She mentioned she was concerned about her children and grandchildren getting sick. She specifically said they shouldn’t let anyone else travel to or from Africa. I thought it was interesting that she would criticize the Obama government in front of a conservatively-dressed WASPY stranger.
The black people I know well enough to discuss politics with are right of center, definitely on social issues, but also on many economic issues. Then they vote like communists. They just can’t bring themselves to vote differently than family/friends.
