Blacks represent about 20% of the total vote<< Where do you get that statistic from? AT the most they are 12%.
You are correct. According to Voter News Service (VNS), the principal exit polling organization, black voters cast 10 percent of all ballots, or (based on assumptions about the final vote numbers) approximately 10.5 million votes. In 1996, according to VNS, black voters also cast 10 percent of all ballots, or approximately 9.5 million votes. The increase from 1996 to 2000 was about one million additional black votes. The Hispanic share of the overall votes cast, according to the same exit polls, rose from five percent to seven percent.
In 1996, black and Hispanic votes, combined, made up 24.4 percent of Clinton’s total. In 2000, 28.5 percent of Gore’s vote was cast by black and Hispanic voters.
Esentially, blacks and hispanics make up about 30% of the Dem vote. Blacks as the most loyal (or brainwashed) group have little to show for their slavish devotion to one party. The Democrat Party is run by white liberals who keep minorities out of leadership roles and major party influence. Tokens such as Jackson and Sharpton are used to keep the black masses in line. They (Jackson, Sharpton, et. al.) receive payoffs to keep them on board. They should be the targets of Belafonte's charges rather than Powell and Rice.
