>>It may be racist thinking, but the reality is that blacks vote 90% Dem in presidential elections and Hispanics vote over 65% Dem. There are no black Reps in Congress and very few Hispanics, mainly Cuban-Americans. So who exactly is being racist?<<
You prove my point. One of the large repositories of racism in the country right now is contained in the black community. Many black leaders say things about themselves and people of other races that would be scandalous if spoken by a pale penis person. (Some examples: blacks can’t be racist because they have no power; white people are “ice people”; the CIA purposely deveoped crack for blacks to keep them in the ghetto.) In fact, it’s the hallmark of the racist to believe that their group is a victim, that their heritage was once noble, and that others are less than human.
Many of the pale penis people I know - from all sorts of political stripes - are some of the most decent, non-racist individuals I know. On the other hand, I know several “minority” people with chips the size of Mount Everest on their shoulders and attitudes about hating others outside their race and ethnicity which would make the Klan proud.
White segregationists also had a high percentage voting Democrat. Hmmm.
It is not a matter of conjecture or thinking. Race/ethnicity and religion do determine voting patterns in this country. Blacks, Hispanics, and Jews vote overwhelmingly Dem in Presidential elections. They are the most loyal Dem constituencies. The Black Caucus [42], Hispanic Caucus[23 counting the Sanchez sisters who resigned recently from the Caucus], and Jewish members [29] total 94 of the 232 Dems in the House or 40% of the Dem representation.
