Actually, you're not.

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.
In this one post, you exhibited the textbook traits of someone who lacks empathy. You dispel any and all notions that Blacks might have rational reasons for feeling the way they do, instead they must be irrational their thought process. You have no clue what the word empathy means.

Empathy doesn't mean agreeing with or recognizing rational. It's the ability to understand and recognize someone's emotional state.
For instance, if an LSU fan is angry after a loss and beats up a toddler, I can empathize with his emotional state while rejecting his actions.
Likewise, I can understand with the frustration and despair felt by members of the black community while completely rejecting their belief in its cause.

As we've also discussed though, the fact of any group, whether it be Alabama whites or transnational blacks voting at predictable 90% rates, give up influence. Speaks to the problem elevated in the OP.

what rational reasons other than "the GOP is racist" does this group have to vote 90%+ for a single party?
i've already posted that the issue is that the GOP cannot prove a negative (that they're not racist), so i've already admitted that this particular irrationality exists. what else is there? you tell me

It's you who are mistaken. Blacks have rational reasons for thinking and feeling how they do on this subject. The problem is that the rationale is based on a lie. Pointing out the lie, to you, lacks empathy and displays racism. The whole point of the thread is about cracking the shell created by that lie. To someone who sees the lie clearly, the thought process of much of the black community seems irrational.
Subjugation of a group of people in the form of chains, and subjugation in the form of low expectations requires the same mindset. Both assume that said group is inferior to another. Tell me, who are the real racists?
