you replied to an educated black professional who pointed that out

All I'm saying is that whenever these types of threads pop up, people generalize "blacks" to mean "poor, on the govt tit" blacks. Go ahead and read some of the responses on the first page. Sure, disproportionately more blacks are on welfare. But its still less than half. Why do people generalize that way when the majority of blacks aren't on welfare? If anything it would be more accurate to assume no blacks are on welfare and base your responses on that premise than the opposite.

but this board is based in the south and we have more black people than asians or jews here

I understand, but when it comes to discussing national voting trends in the context of presidential elections and things like that, it gets totally glossed over. But I'm convinced some people on here can recite national black voting trends in their sleep.

Why yes they do, I'm glad we can agree on this. It's a big part of the GOPs problem.

and, like i said (and you ignored), it's impossible to prove a negative. the DEMs have painted the GOP as racist and it's impossible to prove that they aren't racist (especially with how the left has created the industry of "code words")

So thats it? Its all over? There's nothing the GOP can do and they are doomed forever? I don't buy it.

if we point out the failures of the culture that produces this sad result, we're racists who "are not doing anything to help the community".

I don't believe this to be true. I do think generalizing and painting all blacks with a broad brush also does nothing to help the community, as well.

What is your theory on Asians?


I know this wasn't directed at me, but I thought I would chime in:

What have they done to continue to have their support?
what is so offensive about this question?

Nothing wrong with the question IMO, it was some of the responses that made me SMH.
