I hate to say this, but the majority of Blacks in this country are too comfortable receiving the few crumbs that they do from their white Liberal masters.

The Black Community at-large have given up on themselves.

Giving up your self-respect for Government handouts!?!? Just wow...

Well, in my opinion, here is the biggest problem with what you seem to be implying. Generally, around 25% of black Americans receive government social aid (welfare, food stamps, etc.). This goes hand in hand with the fact that 25% of blacks fall below the poverty line. This means that 75% of blacks receive no government social aid.

Now also note that in the average political election, roughly 40% of eligible black voters go out and vote. It has been shown overwhelmingly that higher and medium income blacks are significantly more likely to vote than lower income blacks. Being as such, the majority of the 40% who vote come from the upper and middle income bracket.

Thus, most black voters are not voting for personal handouts or “crumbs”. If they are voting for handouts, they are voting to give handouts to those low income blacks who are typically apathetic to voting out of a flawed sense of compassion and social consciousness.

But I think that the biggest reason for the high tendency to vote Democrat is general perception. Blacks generally perceive Republicans as antagonistic toward them.
