“I have often wondered if they would vote for a black Republican over a white Democrat, which would matter more? Party or color?”
I say that most blacks would vote for the Dem candidate over the black Republican.
Blacks talk a good game about wanting to get “their own” elected to public office. But if faced with a quality black candidate (like Allen West), they’ll vote Dem. First and foremost, they want their freebies.
Guaranteed most blacks would vote for a white democrat over a black conservative. Black conservatives are hated for being uncle toms and ‘acting white’.
