Ignorance is is a state of not being properly informed.

So go out and get informed.

Maybe you can help me understand. Why are so many Blacks--including those from rural, Southern, and church backgrounds--so across-the-board liberal on every issue? Why are almost all Black politicians--including those from the Bible Belt--uniformly "progressive" when it comes to abortion, homosexuality, environmentalism, and such like? Are they big fans of evolution and porn as well?

I apologize for my frustration, but for years I literally believed that most American Blacks--particularly those from the South--were merely "rednecks of color" and that eventually the libs would take a position that they would balk at and finally draw a line in the sand. But there is no line anywhere, on any issue. And I don't understand it.

Most Black conservatives seem to be well-educated, secular, and economically-oriented. The Black counterparts of Ma and Pa Kettle, otoh, are across the board screaming lefties, and this simply doesn't make any sense to me.

Listen--I'm white trash. I grew up dirt poor, with no indoor bathroom. I know what it's like to live on the edge of the abyss. Lots of poor white folks to this day live on teh abyss. But for some reason, while they might be ripe for socialism as an economic doctrine, poor whites still refuse to go along with the Left's social/moral agenda while poor Blacks seem to be all for it.

Is there any enlightenment you can give me on this topic?
