This is a buncha happy horsesh*t, my fellow FReepers. I grew up on a farm in western NY state (born 1950). When I was about six or seven, I went to the local GLF with my Grandfather (a Scot). After he purchased a few items, we approached the cashier. In front of us was a a black man. Grandpa stated, "Out of my way, nigger." The black gentleman stepped aside and allowed my Granpa to purchase his goods.
There's two mistakes here. One, Grandpa (obviously) and two, the black American for stepping out of the way and allowing the racism to perpetuate.
Today, fifty years later, I hear no casual nor overt racist statements amongst my friends, family nor business associates.
My point is, whites have come a very long way. In my opinion, much more than any other group. It's reeducation. The Great Leap Forward.
But as far as the black vote, Republicans haven't. Ronald Reagan won a bigger chunk of the black vote than any Republican has since. Even someone as pathetic as Clinton won a large majority of this voting blok.
