Lets talk Democrats, Kooiman later pivoted. And you have a theory that they are essentially buying the African American vote. What do you mean?
Blacks have shown a slavish support for the Democrat party for over 50 years, Wright replied. Part of me wonders if the Republican party should even bother asking for the black vote because black Americans seem to like being political dummies.

(10,296 posts)Afro-Americans used to be reliable Republican voters until 80 years or so ago, until they realized that ultra-conservative Republicans had made alliance with reactionary anti-New Deal Southern Democrats. At that point they considered their debt to the "Party of Lincoln" paid and started to vote their interests instead.
And THAT is something you won't hear on Murdoch's Faux Noise Cable Propaganda during Black History Month.
If blue-collar Republicans ever figure out that they're getting similarly Judas-kissed, it's bye-bye GOP.
