Melanin; or lack there of, is the single deciding issue when blacks enter the voting booth.
Sad but true. And I generally don't blame them.
Most of them have, since birth, been steeped in identity politics -- whites are out to get you, you don't have a chance, life is unfair, us vs. them -- by their so-called "leaders" and even well-meaning white people who are being used by those "leaders". While American children of European, Asian and Middle Eastern extraction are told "it's up to you to improve your life", black kids are told "you're fucked, don't bother".
Go your entire life like that, and you have a psychological habit that must be pretty tough to break.
American blacks have been done a great disservice by those who claim to "care", well-meaning or not.
