why is it the fault of the OP that those people can't understand nuance and "See the world in black and white"?
I think it's really laughable that you would ask such a question considering the fact that you described yourself as "exceptionally empathetic" just a few days ago. If you were truly as empathetic as you claim you would understand why the premise of the OP would rub many Blacks the wrong way.

i am very empathetic (and frick sleeping tiger)
that post is a snide remark towards typical liberal talking points, though. they love bringing it up when discussing "other" groups, but love to forget it when talking about groups loyal to their politicians/party. it's the height of hypocrisy and elitism of modern american liberalism that i despise (and truly ironic given the context of this thread)

let's look at the OP:

Poverty, murder rate, one parent homes and having kids before marriage are still the problem after all these years. What have they done to continue to have their support?
Poverty, murder rate, one parent homes and having kids before marriage are still the problem after all these years.
while it is a bit of a stretch to say "the" problem, it is an objective fact that these are all problems of the black population in American today. this point is not arguable.
are you arguing that these issues don't exist?
are you arguing that these problems aren't more prevalent in the American black community than other groups?
What have they done to continue to have their support?
what is so offensive about this question?
i am empathetic, but that doesn't mean that i can stretch my mind to the darkest reaches of irrational thinking
the American black voting bloc is one of those wonders of the modern world. i don't know if another similar bloc exists anywhere else. it cuts through culture, geography, economic status, sociological indicators, etc.
