(CNSNews.com) – The unemployment rate for black Americans is more than double that of white Americans, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).... In the numbers released today, covering the month of June, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for black Americans age 16 and over was 10.7%, reported the BLS. The unemployment rate for white Americans in the same age group and time-frame was 5.3%, said the BLS.

"CHICAGO (Reuters) - Predominantly African-American neighborhoods in Chicago have seen poverty rise and services diminish even as the nation's third largest city has become less racially segregated,.... black areas are seeing economic stagnation or decline,.... mostly black areas have lost health clinics, social service agencies and other areas of support..."
Exclusive: Poverty up, services diminished in Chicago's black neighborhoods - study
. This is something that we as a nation have got to get beyond.. This black and white comparison all the time needs to end. Blacks are just as much Americans as whites are, and this speaking on stats based on color is ridiculous. There are complex reasons that cause any group to suffer, and sometimes if a group does things that cause the group to suffer, then it's not another groups fault. This usage of white and black suggest that a group is being treated better or worse than another group, and that one group is at fault due to favoritism or what ever the claim may be. It's wrong and it needs to end.
Here's the problem with your post, your contention.
Democrats pander to this particular group, and will continue to do so for this reason: Without the black vote, they'd never win another national election.
... the Dems can's take a chance on losing the black constituency....so, here we are.
They're pretty much saddled with this donkey.
"...what would happen if a smaller percentage of blacks turned out:
- At 90 percent black turn-out, Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes slide into the GOP column.
- At 75 percent black turn-out, Pennsylvania’s 21 electoral votes go Republican.
- At 70 percent Michigan’s 17 electoral votes turn from blue to red.
- At 50 percent the GOP collects Delawre’s three electoral votes.
I don’t know what a realistic number to project is for the effects of angry black apathy, but I’ll stop at 50 percent. It may be that going as low as 75 percent is unrealistic. Most likely it’s impossible to say. (And this doesn’t take into account things like congressional districts where black voters make the margin of difference.)"

But what exactly would that mean? In how many states do black voters make the difference? I ran some rough numbers over at
Robert Emmet -- check them out. Depending on how much of a drop-off you assume, it could cost the Democrats 10 to 76 electoral votes.
