I've always been puzzled by African-Americans calling Bill Clinton the first black president. He wasn't especially nice to them, that I recall. In fact, he was openly aggressive and abusive to blacks when he thought he needed political push from whites.
I concluded that it was because during his presidency he violated what we consider civilized norms of society, he defamed the Office of the President. He committed crimes and basically told those who frowned on his actions to "shove it," and he got away with it. In short, he displayed his contempt for traditional American societal behavior.
I believe that there is an underlying feeling of contempt for traditional values that permeates the black community in the United States. It's this contempt for traditional values that bonds blacks with Bill Clinton. They wish they could show their contempt (as the looters and shooters did) and get away with it like Clinton.
It will be there as long as the demorats thirst for power justifies what they are doing to these people. They need to be able to depend on those votes.
I look for the politicians in Louisiana to call for some type of absentee ballot arrangement for the 250,000 demorat votes that left New Orleans. Without them, they can't win.
So very true.
My take on the reason for this is that Black folks always give 90 plus % of their votes to the democrats..... no matter what the time fram......no matter what the candidates qualities....no matter what the issues.....And thats a certified fact.
