If you read this board you'd think there was no such thing. Just read the responses in this thread. Its not just poor blacks who are more likely to vote D its also rich and middle class blacks. You think they are sucking on the govt tit and vote that way for their Obama phones?

How about the Jewish and Asian demographics? They also overwhelmingly vote D (sure, not the same rate as blacks but still over 70%). Why don't threads discussing those voting trends pop up like similar threads relating black voting habits? Thats actually more of an interesting discussion IMO. Maybe its because people would actually have to think and lazy rationalizations like "sucking the govt tit" won't fly?

I saw the question asked about Jews once & as I predicted it barely made 2 pages & certainly no 'free stuff' 'government tit' nonsense(Although certain Jewish communities in New York are approaching 50% households on government assistance & aren't all well off as this board supposes).

But since they aren't thoughtful enough to give an answer I think the obssession with Blacks(Hispanics) ,besides personal their obvious personal prejudices, may be numbers.


Blacks are basically the difference in most close swing states like Florida,Virginia,N.C., Ohio,Pennsylvania,etc... Outside of New York ,for the most part, the Jewish community probably isn't seriously swinging an election.


Plus any 'perceived' bitterness towards the Jewish community isn't as acceptable here as it is with Blacks & Hispanics.
