One has to wonder if the Bell Curve doesn’t really come into play when one hears about the ignorance of balck people voting for those who have and will enslave them.

With the Kwamie Kilpatrick show on full display, all the dirty laundry is out on display.

When the African-American super delegate to the Democratic convention, screams a an African-American cop, “What the F____ are you doing even riding in a car with someone named White” (The sheriff's deputy had “white” skin. ) The answer is simple, African-American hatred of white people.

In the Kwamsters last election, he was behind in the polls until he tarnished his opponent with being supported by the suburbs. This was the code that energized his base in the Democratic Party, and he easily won reelection.

When Dean said the GOP was the party of White People, this was just “Kwamie Code”, to get those African-Americans who hate white people, like the Mayor of Detroit, to express their hatred, by not voting GOP, and default to the Democratic Party.

To answer the question African-Americans vote for the rats, out of anti-white hostility.

Its not really mysterious. The Democrats have made vote buying predicated on the idea this country owes people something a reason to build party loyalty successfully. It may be damaging to be the country's founding principles and core identity but it matters not a whit. The Race Card TM has been very successful in winning votes from the Democrats and they see no reason why they should ever give it up.

I’m trying to figure out whether this was true in the pre-60’s era. For instance 1920 -1960 , what was the racial vote, I can’t come up with it this morning on Google for some reason ( lack of diligence probably)

The same reason it is in the hands of the lazy. Give me. The Black and Poor in America have been robbed of their pride and ability by the Democrat Party. They follow like sheep. But it is almost as much the fault of the Republicans for not addressing it directly and to the point and allowing out government to appease and deliver the American Educational System to the Liberals.

this makes it clear that the “identity” factor is the fundamental one , not the appeal of the politics of the left. The socialists who took over the Democratic Party in the sixties or before, saw the identity factor as the horse they’d eventually ride to victory, “I’m black, so I vote D,” “I’m a Jew, so I vote D,” it’s not even a class/ education / social standing concept, but someting more visceral. Reagan picked the “I’m Catholic, so I vote D” lock, I’m sure that lock wasn’t as fixed.

LBJ's Great Society, the most horrific series of legislation in American history. It destroyed the black family and made millions forever dependent on the government, the majority of whom are black. Thus, paradoxically, those whom the Dems destroyed are the Dems’ biggest supporters. Go figure.

“LBJ’s Great Society, the most horrific series of legislation in American history. It destroyed the black family....”

yep...I remember back in the 1950s when the black family was largely intact...the rise in illegitimate births really took off with LBJ...

Equal rights for blacks in AMerica did NOT start in 1865, with the 14th Amendment, NOT in 1954 with “Brown v. Board of Education”, or even the 1965 Civil Rights Act. It came in the 1970’s when blacks became a reliable Democrat Party vote. If you see where blacks vote 20% or more Republican, look for a revival of the military arm of the Democrat Party, the KKK.

The article is well written but incorrect. The majority of blacks believe in the same positions that conservatives do - anti-abortion, against gay “rights,” generally pro-death penalty, and even against affirmative action when it’s presented as “giving preferential treatment to one group over another on the basis of race.”

I had a young black female coworker years back that was a die-hard Democrat. In a conversation one day, I took her through the entire Republican platform, and she agreed with Republican positions all the way down the line. When I told her that we’d just gone through the Republican platform, she was understandably surprised. Then I asked her if she’d now vote Republican instead of Democrat, and she said, emphatically, “No.”

It was my turn to be surprised. I asked her why she wouldn’t vote for a party whose positions she agreed with 100%. Her answer was simple, stunning, and highly educational: “Because Republicans hate black people.”

That’s the bottom line. Democrats have told blacks for fifty years now that “Republicans hate black people.” Because the GOP doesn’t counter that lie, it continues to stand — sort of an assent by silence.

Until the GOP recognizes and addresses that fundamental issue, the black community will continue to vote 90% Democrat.

Because people like Howard Dean continue to tell them that Republicans don’t like black people. And sadly, most can’t see through that garbage and realize that it is incorrect.

No. It’s because the Democrats control the precinct bosses.

I had a similar conversation with a co-worker. Despite her conservative stance on many issues, she said she would vote for obama because he represented a much needed change. She couldn’t specify what type of change- just change.

That sermon gave me cold chills and was exactly right. That goes for women too. As long as you don’t make yourself valuable and rely on your differences, you will remain under a roof and stuck. But if you let yourself succeed, you will do better in the long run.

But in this instant society, no one can see that far.

Thank you for that link. I just emailed the site for permission to post it on LiveLeak.

I hope they grant it.

Let’s dig deeper. If you told me I had to vote Dem. because if I did not, a Martian would come down and eat me, and I believed you, THEN I’D BE REALLY!!!!! STUPID. She votes dem not because of the lies she’s been told, but because she HAS A VERY VERY LOW IQ AND IS REALLY REALLY STUPID. Now, why do blacks as a whole vote Dem? Hmmm.

I think you're right. From personal experience, if you're kind to many blacks, they assume you're a Democrat, as is evidenced by being freer with political opinions in the work place. It's the baloney about compassion , which Arthur C. Brooks knocked into a cocked hat with Who Really Cares?.

“So when some observers wonder what the Republican Party is going to “do for” the “black community,” most Republicans will have a certain look of puzzlement on our faces, as if someone just asked why we don’t offer attachable wings so that our prospective party members can fly. “

I love this. It’s hilarious. And true.

one almost has to read your post backwards. In other words, while the rest of America accepted equal rights for blacks through the progression of events that you mention, the Democrats only accepted equal rights for blacks when they figured out a way to use black identity for their own (the Democrats’) interest, so it’s sort of a conditional grant. Interesting thought.
