The African American – Black block is becoming less relevant in many areas of the country. One area in which the block has had a high profile has been the ranks of civil servants and grant funded organizations in center cities. Thiose leaders can still mobilze a nice captive vote for Democrats. While still strong at the higher levels, the demographics are blowing up. Hispanics, Asians, ex-Soviet block immigrants and others overwhelm the black population outside the south. The old guard e.g. race mongers like Wright – still think they are a force outside their little worlds. They are not and many of the new immigrant groups come from societies that are very prejudiced against blacks. There are legions of people that took a look at Obama and were willing to cut him some slack. Many are sickened by what is coming from underneath the rocks being kicked over – Wright-Ayers-Rezko. You don’t see Latinos or Asians coming to the guys aid.
