I’ve read all the comments here and its amazing how the media still influences the misconceptions of Black America.

The only people that continue to make Sharpton, Jackson & Rev Wright relevant is the media. Blacks may sympathize with these men, but they no longer represent the consensus of Black American politics & social ideology.

The majority of blacks maybe Democrat by voter registration but don’t always prescribe to the candidate. I’ve always argued that there would be more Conservative representation in Black districts if Republicans really campaigned in them. Unfortunately they never really do.

Instead of relying on the networks for information about Blacks, maybe you should openly dialogue with Black people. You’ll be surprised what you hear. There are more John McWhorters and Angela McGlowans in the community than what you think.

Remember, Hillary Clinton had 50% of the black vote until her husband couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
