Whites are certainly influenced, they are not exempt from those things, just like black folks are influenced.
Those studies indicate a peer pressure in the black community, hell, a couple of you have displayed it here in these forums, in fact, you've done it in this very thread. If a black man bucks yhr norms, he must be shilling for the white man....
Or maybe his views are his own?
Peer pressure is a pretty big thing in the black community, you are expected to do certain things, voting for democrats is one of them...and black kids, who's parents were democrats, will grow up to be democrats themselves, and will likely teach their kids to be democrats..and so on. Doesn't mean these people can't think for themselves, it's just that there is an expectation in the black community that you will support democrats. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be an 86% ratio of black people supporting democrats. To suggest that all blacks do so because they feel the democrat party does more for them is to suggest that the black community is a monolith and can't think on their own, because not all black people believe that.
