Are you joking?
yeah. Corrected. the great majority of blacks will vote for a black candidate of one is available over a white candidate.
Is that because statistically the Black candidate would be a democrat and the White candidate would be a Republican if they are running against each other? Do you think that the overwhelming amount of Blacks would vote for Allen West over Hillary Clinton? How about Herman Cain or Ben Carson vs Biden or Corey Booker?
Since so many self-righteous right wingers want to pretend there has been no shift in Democrat and Republican political platforms, here is a graphic to help you understandÂ…THINGS CHANGED!
Now that you have read the chart, I would love to hear how you can explain how all those southern states, loaded with Blacks, came to be republican states? Hey, tell ya what… some of you idiots may be borderline illiterate so I’ll give you a map with COLORS, OK? Hopefully you can identify the southern states…you know, those ol’ former Democrat haunts you keep bringing up? WELLLL LOOK AT EM” NOW!
How does that contradict anything I said? I think you're the one who has a problem understanding. Why don't you butt out of the conversation until you catch up.
Most southern republicans today in congress and state legislatures were raised in the era of desegregation, busing, and the mass migration of whites to private schools. They grew up in a time in the South that saw the rise of the black consumer who in many areas literally took over retail establishments that were once all white. They saw increasing numbers of government and private sector jobs going to blacks thanks to civil rights legislation and equal opportunity. What they saw happening in the South in 60's, 70's, & 80''s, they didn't like. They certainly couldn't turn for help to the democrats who were becoming increasing black. The obvious alternative was the lily white Republican party in the South whose goal was to shrink the large powerful federal government that destroyed the southern way of life.Since so many self-righteous right wingers want to pretend there has been no shift in Democrat and Republican political platforms, here is a graphic to help you understandÂ…THINGS CHANGED!

Obviously you don't remember what you said or you would see the basis for my premise. Look carefully at the emboldened text in your rant above. It is that BS that I am addressing.
BTW the old Southern Democrats started to dissolve into new Republicans during the Truman administration because they felt betrayed by the old KKKer; partially because he desegregated the armed forces.. You can say that the Democrats of yesteryear formed the KKK and they were anti-civil right all you want to... the people, or their descendants, who did those things reside in the same geographical locations and still hold the same segregationist views. Only now they call themselves Republicans. Democrats don't own that legacy; the White people of the South who claim to be Republicans or Conservatives do!
Those southern Democrats of the past were their ancestors, their fathers, their uncles their mentors... They own the atrocities and no surrogate party affiliation will change that!
Try to imagine what other ethnic groups have faced in the United States. Racists fought a "civil" war against the United States in order to keep their slaves, and some of them have still not given up their hatred of everyone else on Earth. Racists were so small-minded that they were willing to kill and die by the hundreds of thousands to keep black people as property. And it took over 100 years from the end of slavery until stupid southern Confederate racists would allow black people to vote or use public drinking fountains.
Perhaps if the stupid southern white trash Confederate racists in the neo-Confederate red states weren't so racist, then perhaps other ethnic groups wouldn't feel the need to "stick to their own kind" so much.
The simple fact is that white people can't play the victim in American history.
White people never had to walk to school through a gauntlet of police dogs, fire hoses, and people who hate you for existing. That wasn't that long ago when you really think about it. It wasn't some ancient bygone era. We had photography.
if the OP is asking why most black people vote for democrats, the above post is your answer. Republicans consider all black people to be lazy welfare leeches.
