Generalization is not 100% but it is a majority. Based on your posting you think that generalization encompasses a 100% of a certain population but it does not. You are giving an example of two black doctors in your neighborhood and telling us that they do not just vote democrat because of welfare. Of course they will not just vote democrat because of welfare since they are making money and a lot of it. However these two are a minority among blacks and in your case you took the minority case and you want to make it a general case to build your argument.

A majority of blacks vote democrat because they want more governments handouts, entitlements and affirmative actions. That is the fact.

This is not a fact, it’s your opinion.

The problem is, it’s an opinion that’s not even based in fact.

A majority of Blacks do not receive welfare. To suggest that a majority of Blacks vote Democrat due to wanting to keep their welfare is a logical fallacy.

A majority can’t be voting to keep something a don’t have.

Now, if you want to argue entitlement, role of government, past perceived injustice...ect ..ect that’s fine.

A majority of Blacks vote to keep welfare is too simple and does not speak to the challenges of the time. It’s a urban legend (pun intended) which has become self sustaining and ignores the broader topics
