In the future, the emergence of solid black elected Republican officials in the South, such as the two new black congressmen, might help change things.
Perhaps it won’t happen so quickly as I would hope. You’re right. But with a change of geography, the immediate realities of life for blacks will also change, and this will in time cause a change in voting patterns, just as the great Northward movement eventually estranged blacks from their traditional Republican roots, as the Republican Party itself changed from a protectionist and “progressive” party to what it is today. Just as blacks “turned Mr. Lincoln’s picture to the wall in the 1930s,” they’ll also do the same for Humphry, Kennedy, and Clinton. Obama, however, is another story. He has to leave office as a complete and undeniable disgrace. If there’s any doubt as to his being discredited, blacks will view him as a scapegoat being unfairly picked on by “whitey” on account of his pigmentation. So here’s hoping he’s caught in a menage a toit with two other men, at a love nest that was supposed to be a diplomatic summit, the hotel paid for by George Soros, who is one of the two other men.
