Eugene Robinson is a certifiably insane nimrod. I guess it never occurred to him that cities are more likely to annex suburbs which are likely to produce more in tax revenue than they will use in public services, not the other way around.

There is a reason why even a one party Democrat city like Pittsburgh would love to annex Mt. Lebanon (mostly upper middle class white) but wouldn't want Wilkinsburg (40% lower class black). And it has nothing to do with race.

And his equating common sense voter ID laws as recently passed in Pennsylvania and Ohio with Jim Crow voting laws in the old (Democrat) south is beyond idiotic.

What this disingenuous Leftist is neglecting to say is that in ye bad olden days of the deep South, the power structure was Democrat, the Negroes, Republicans. The Democrats were the ones who went all-out to suppress the black vote.

Hey Leftie. Segregation, ya ever heard tell of it? Segregation was run lock stock and barrel by the Southern Democrats with the eager support of such outstanding Northern Democrat faux civil rights heroes as JFK, et al.

Today, sadly, the Negroes of the deep South are kept in their place by dependence upon government largesse, the poor Negro run school systems, and by the successful sale to them by the Democrat Party of the concept of helpless victimology. It works just fine for the Democrats. They own the Negroes just as surely as any ante-bellum Mississippi planter.
