If American liberals had four legs and fur, they would have been put on the Endangered Species List following last year’s presidential election. Defining who is liberal has become a national sport among politicians, as Democrats frantically run from the moniker, while Republicans hurl the invective blindly at everyone on the other side of the aisle.
New research done by the Bay Area Center for Voting Research (BACVR) reveals who the real liberals in American are and the answer is not the tree-hugging, ponytail wearing ex-hippies you might expect. Instead, the new face of American liberalism is of a decidedly different hue. The nation’s remaining liberals are overwhelming African Americans.
The BACVR study that ranks the political ideology of every major city in the country shows that cities with large black populations dominate the list of liberal communities. The research finds that Detroit is the most liberal city in the United States and has one of the highest concentrations of African American residents of any major city. Over 81 percent of the population in Detroit is African American, compared to the national average of 12.3 percent. In fact, the average percentage of African American residents in the 25 most liberal cities in the country is 40.3 percent, more than three times the national rate.

Stupid liberals! They are headed for extinction!
Yeah, but it sounds like the pony tail crowd is embarrassed to admit they're liberal now. We must be doing something right! LOL!
As my famous black CONSERVATIVE friend, ReJoyce says, "They're on the democrat plantation!"
They are if we have anything to say about it. :P

Maxine Waters
John Conyers
Cynthia McKinney
Sheila Jackson Lee
Julia Carson
Major Owens
Barbara Lee
etc, etc, etc
Imagine the world that THEY envision for every non-black, if given the opportunity.
No wonder they feel disenfranchised.
The sooner the better for mankind's sake.
Very Interesting.
My old man has forecasted a huge schism in the party when the black majority demands more and more power and the white lever pullers in the Democrat leadership refuses to give up thier power.

I like that!
Their new name is now "progressive", notice how they always try to change from the liberal word!!!
Election 2000, albore called himself "New Democrat"!
I think that many urban blacks are "liberal" only so far as Democrat welfare-state socialism is concerned. You know.... "free stuff", confiscated mostly from Republicans by big government and handed over to society's losers and parasites (government addicts - - the Democrat "base") in exchange for votes.
But when it comes to most other planks of the Democrat Party - - condom throwing, Christian-bashing, screeching feminism, gay marriage, abortion enthusiasm, belittlement of traditional America and the traditional family unit, etc. - - blacks are generally not on the same page as most of their pandering white Democrat politicians.
The MSM, liberal talk radio, liberal newspapers, etc. they're all in decline, everyone of them.
Though the damage of liberalism remains, the force that created it is in full retreat. We see it all around us and it makes us angry. In time, we will be able to get through to those at the base of the Democratic party and offer them a better way to go about life.
It's cool to be a conservative!
Great now liberals are blaming liberalism on African-Americans. You just can't make this stuff up.
