Obama exposed some racial divides that we were being told had disappeared; while some blacks are “grown up”, the fact that he has any support in the “African American community” after the destruction wrought on them as well in the past 30 months is disturbing. Apparently he could eat black children for 3 meals a day and still count on a significant number of black votes simply because he’s (half) black. When all other Americans are on the balls of their asses financially, I assure you the “pity” (actually condescension) is gone.
Well, I mean the self pity party (funny how when the charity gets thin, that goes away) but you’re right in some measure that over-deference does it too.
