"Now will someone tell me why the democrats get the african american vote?"
Because propaganda ministers such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are good at what they do, which is exploiting cultural identity to politically brainwash a lot of people.
Because the Democrats want to tax the "MAN" and give the money to the "POOR" in the form of welfare, housing and free medical care. It's all sort of a touchy-feely economic question. It reminds one of the Hutu/Tutsi conflict.
