BMiles2112, I believe you're right. I didn't fully understand the "negativity" comment. The statement might be sad, but it's also true. Black magazines and websites will run cartoons with Clarence Thomas dressed up as a klansman. If you're black but don't favor entitlements for blacks, you get roasted. That says something about the Dems, not the GOP.

Let me break it down for you both. After I break it down, I'll let it be broke.

BMiles2112 said, "Democrats would still pull 90% of the black vote while making all sorts of "Uncle Tom" and "House Slave" accusations." This statement may be correct from a prima facie standpoint, but it is still in the negative because it doesn't address the premise behind it. That premise is "why" does this happen.

Get this. The Dems get 90+% of American blacks' vote. In a campaign, no GOP candidate campaigns in black areas. So in these areas, the people believe what the Dems want them to believe because there is no one there to refute the lies.

Bring up ideas to cause interest for the GOP in black people sans pandering, and it will be immediately shot down by so-called conservatives because they say that it cannot be done. Then, with a straight face after an election, they wonder why 90+% of American blacks' votes went for the Dems.

It's six on one hand and a half-dozen on the other. Both are negative. And, so, I'll remain independent.
