I don't believe that people (of any color or economic class) who are conservative, patriot and religious could vote for modern Democrats as a bloc 95%+ of the time. Ergo, I don't believe that most blacks in America are conservative, patriotic religious people as I have always understood the definitions. If that makes me a "racist", fine.

I don't buy it, either, but even if they were , it wouldn't make any difference. They still vote overwhelmingly Democrat, especially if the Dem is black. Race and freebies trump everything else.

I have a friend in New Jersey who is a nurse. She recently did a home nursing stint, where she would go into some of the worst neighborhoods up there. She said she was sick of seeing actual shrines to Obama in the living rooms of her black patients.

They would, if they're useful idiots. If blacks voted their social views, they would be evenly split GOP/Dem; if they voted their foreign policy views, they would be slightly weighted Dem. They all vote Dem because they have been taught to drink the koolaid of all the racist stereotypes about Republicans and conservatives, that we're all old white men who channel our inner Bull Connor. Break that spell, and the voting patterns would change almost overnight.
