The truth is that most blacks in America are conservative patriotic religious people.

Fail. No point in reading further

Government causes racism.

They’re the only ones who consistently require the use of race in decision making.

Is this problem black and white or is there some gray in the middle?

You need to take it back to the political battle between Booker T. Washington (conservative) and W.E.B. DuBois (progressive/radical). The DuBoisians are the only people "anointed" by the MSM and the Democrats to "speak" for black people, while the Bookerites--Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, Ben Carson, Niger Innis, J.C. Watts, Herman Cain, Larry Elder, Allen West, etc.--are persona non grata when it comes to anything concerning race. The only person who ever brought them together was MLK; though his sympathies were with the DuBoisians, he was smart enough to know they couldn't get the civil rights movement to succeed on their own, so he made concessions to the Bookerites in order to bring them on board--concessions that his successors, Jackson and Sharpton and Bond and Mfume and Lewis, were unwilling to continue.

Then why do they vote 90% for the most godless Marxists - every time?

New World Order.

It’s been very useful to them over the centuries.

Experience causes racism.

I thought racism was caused by climate change (see previous post).

Main cause of Racism in America — liberals!

I was born in 39 and raised in upstate NY in an Irish Catholic family and ‘all’ would probably have been considered ‘good’ Democrats.
Not sure if they would be in line with today’s Liberals but they were definitely ‘D’ to the core with my Grandfather (mailcarrier for 45+ years) ‘complaining’ of my going in the Navy while that SOB Ike (R) was in office.
And Ike could just as easily have run as a D if he thought that was where he was needed.

I was Right leaning all along and I guess us ‘young Catholics in late 50’s and early 60’s’ that leaned toward R’s were much the same as the Blacks of today that lean towards Conservatism.

My take on the manufacturing flight out of New England to the South was it was a result of taxes, Unions and the such.
The D’s and Unions had people convinced it was the Rich Republicans that moved their business South as a matter of greed.

In some ways the moving of manufacturing out of the country is no different that the move from the North - with the main exception being the tax money stayed here.

You can imagine the ostracization I was put through when I wasn’t a JFK backer, guess the only saving grace I had was I spent most of my time out of the Country during his tenure.
