There is only ONE ethnic/racial group that doesn’t regularly vote this way. Can you guess which one that is?

Group identity politics is a learned behavior...

[Grumplestiltskin]

“Group identity politics is a learned behavior...”

One’s choice of “politics” may be learned, but identity based upon one’s “group” is (IMO) one of the most “innate” of human characteristics. The old saying “birds of a feather” has that ring of truth about it.

I stand by what I posted. “The dream dies hard” when we cling to old (but beautifully stated) precepts that much basis in the egalitarian dreams of The Elightenment era, but little foundation in the way that people (and groups of people, be they ethnic or racial) behave in the real world.

Reality is what it is.
It is not what we believe it to be.

We cannot change the real world by statements on pieces of paper, no matter how noble the intent of those who wrote them.
