The plantation I refer to currently is the liberal enslavement of the blacks that keeps them forever reduced to second class citizenship. Have you ever noticed how successful Black republicans tend to be?

Indeed but is that because they are conservative or are they conservative because they are successful. I think it depends.

I know rural old timey blacks in the South who may vote Dem out of habit but they are as morally conservative as I am...maybe more so actually.

Paying taxes...especially if the money is hard earned...tends to wake up most people. But if they earn a huge amount or came by it easy (celebirities in particular) then they either have guilt or they never grasped the work ethic and tend to vote emotive.

An example of socially conservative rural blacks would be the ones in Mississippi who voted to keep the old flag. The rural more salt of the earth types voted to keep the old flag while the urban ones voted the same as one would expect in Cook county. Blacks went 40% overall.
