I tend to like this line of non-logic that follows:
2) As I scan the US Census for the top cities where Blacks are most concentrated these same cities have City Councils that are from 65% to 100% Democrat. Mayor’s offices about the same percentages.
And more scanning shows the Black population moving from those areas to the South where economic expansion is occurring.
3) Almost universally the school systems are turning out subpar results.
Which just isn’t a city situation but I give it about another 10 years and suburbanites will realize what their schools aren’t doing.
5) The local economic development is anemic
Even with this, the creation of businesses is being lead by Blacks at a higher rate.
6) Health care issues such as HIV infection rates and rates of STD infections are above normal.
And there’s nothing a politician can do about that one.
Despite all of these sad facts……the Black Democratic loyalists asks “What has the Republican Party done to earn the Black vote?”?
Sure, what is so odd about that except that it’s Black folk?
Farmers scream they want politicians to do something for them, like subsidies that help keep inefficient farms/farmers around. Pays for them to plant nothing. And both parties are “doing for people” (HAH!) concerning the mortgage lending mess.
But it’s some how Blacks that are so different?
Clearly we are at a point where the new question must be “With the Black community being more isolated into cities and schools that are increasingly segregated……can the people that we POPULARLY FAVOR operate with a set of leadership policies that enable our community to leverage as many of its internal resources as possible to maintain the standard of living that we all desire?”. In so many cases the answer is NO!
When 75% of Blacks aren’t poor, most Blacks are middle class and above, the rate of Blacks attending and graduating from college is still increasing, why is “Black community more isolated” a correct statement?
Or is the definition of Black community being used meaning the minority of Blacks who aren’t doing well?
And as I always like to ask, why is that the same venom directed towards Jewish voters who vote 80-85% for Democrats?
End of the 50s, Black poverty rate was about 55%.
Now, Black poverty rate is about 25%.
So, if you look at that statistic, what does that state?
I may not like the strong ties of Blacks to Democrats, but when the GOP, born out of abolition, for the most part refuses to even state their beliefs to a group of people based on race, why is it surprising that the same group refuses to give that party a good look?
Here is something else to twist your noodles if people really want to THINK about the situation instead of bash the “non-thinking Blacks.”
Michael Steele said he needed 20-25% of the Black vote to win. He got 25-30%, exceeding his goal and getting 3 times the percentage of BLack votes in Maryland that Blacks normally give REpublicans. Ehrlich received 20% of the Black vote, which is about 2 times more than Blacks normally give the Republicans in Maryland. That’s after Ehrlich’s first term where he went to Blacks and did things for HBCUs in Maryland, which had been traditionally underfunded.
Ken Blackwell, a Black Republican, prior to the last election, received more than 50% of the Black vote.
Mike Huckabee said he received more than 40% of the Black vote.
Jackie Winters, a Black Republican in Salem, said she receives a large majority of Black votes in her elections.
Why isn’t all of this information put out there when people criticize Blacks for their voting habits?
