“I think Blacks are not involved in the Tea Party for the same reason they tend to vote Democrat which, in my opinion, is more about Socialistic economics than it is about racism.”

I do not believe the analysis goes to that depth. I don't think a direct connection is made between the small government goals of the Tea Party, and a threat to end the generations-long, payout largesse of socialist government programs.

For the majority of blacks, the decision is made on a more visceral level: white-Americans predominate so this just can't be good for black-Americans. Their world view, which necessitates the inclusion of hyphenation in the preceding sentence (and everywhere else), illustrates the problem.

>> visceral levels and hyphenation

I hear what you’re saying, but I don’t think that’s an absolute perspective as much as it is a social and political trend, albeit a serious one.

The data shows us that it’s a statistical improbability the Black community will in our lifetime swing towards Conservatism. I don’t think is does us any harm, however, to ‘hope’ that will ‘change’. And for some tag promotion...
