Just last week, "black" columnist Deborah Mathis wrote an angry column claiming that the Democrats were taking the black vote for granted, and that the Dems failure to appoint blacks to positions of congressional leadership was alienating blacks and blacks would henceforth stay home rather than vote unquestioningly for Democrats. I remember thinking, "Yeah, right." That'll be the day.

What do they expect?
After years of unquestioning allegiance to the failed party and its' failed "principles" why should Blacks be surprised that the Dims 'take them for granted'?

Sorta like being a "yellow dog" Dimocrat, and then discovering that you have in fact elected a yellow dog to office.

Just put this in the "Tough Sh*t" file, Miz Mathis!

Some scoundrel live-off-the-government blacks have realized that if they don't vote for the Dems, they may lose what they're getting now. Cutting the mooch-and-sponge programs will happen in a depression and/or when more conservative Rs are elected. The scoundrel blacks are bluffing.
