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.

Part of that, as we discussed, is predicated on perception vs awareness. E.g., Factionated AL-MS whites voted in bloc for McCain in '08 in similar percentages to blacks nationally voting Democrat. Asians votes are substantially skewed. You've aptly pointed those demographics out, in the past.

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.
