95% of the black electorate voted for Obama. Let's look at what he and the Democrats have done for them. And btw....all data is from Nate Silver....hardly a right wing darling.
1. Blacks are 250% more likely to live in poverty than whites. This has accelerated under the Obama Presidency.
2. The average median household income for blacks is 40% less than whites. This is down 10% since the year 2000.
3. Median family income for all Americans has dropped every year since 1999. It is down 8.7% over that time frame. This loss of income has accelerated under Obama.
There are many more facts...but you get the idea. Obama and the Democrats have not only failed to help blacks (or the rest of us) but have made things far worse. So can anyone explain the almost blind support black Americans have for the Democrat Party? Anyone?
Here is a key quote.
Big racial gaps remain: The median income of an African-American household was $34,600 in 2013, more than 40 percent less than the median non-Hispanic white household. The race gap has been little changed in recent years. It peaked at about 45 percent in the 1980s and narrowed to 35 percent in 2000, but has since lost much of that ground. More than a quarter of blacks live below the official poverty line, compared to 10 percent of whites.
