What if whites were as monolithic as blacks in voting?

I don't know. Are the whites in Finland monolithic?

It is a huge shame whites are not.

That would be Racist

It's actually kind of funny. No one even thinks to assume all white people must think, act, vote in the same way. It's naturally assumed that sharing the same skin color really has nothing to do with any of that, so white people are actually free to be...diverse...in their thinking and actions.
Whereas there is this assumption that if you're in any other group, you're part of "The _______ Community" and thus all think and act the same.
As an aside, it's what tends to make newly created "diverse" characters kind of awful in entertainment, because writers seem unable or unwilling to allow them to simply be interesting people with their own backstories, motives, etc. They are black, or gay, or a woman, or whatever FIRST and if there's anything else is far less important. White characters don't carry that baggage, so instead of talking about their "whiteness" all the time they can have an actual personality. Writers are also forced to make them interesting without that crutch. It's crazy.

What does black voter turnout look like?

White people aren't allowed to be United in any way, for any reason. Well, unless they are united in their woke belief of all white people being born evil.

If you dont stay on the reservation, "you arent black", "what are you? a junkie"

Observing black people that go after black people that break from their voting norms.
Actually it's the same when white actors or important people do. Maybe it's simply a left thing.

Uh.. this is literally a criticism that African-Americans and other minorities make all the time.

A former boss of mine, happened to be black, would refer to those voting counter to "the group" as wandering off the plantation. It was very amusing how lax and cavalier he was with things he would say to me.

Finland has lower GDP per capita and lower median household than the US
Do not want to be like them at all; our diversity has made us a richer nation than them.

In Atlanta, Philly, Chicago, Milwaukee, etc... I think it was like 110%.

We’d put an end to this shite overnight. The us would be just like the 1950’s again basically overnight. And I mean that in a good way.

This sounds like delusional segregationalist fantasyland
The US economy could never return to the 1950s for a variety of reasons namely emerging economies that have become more competitive with the US that weren’t competitive in the 50s. Has nothing to do with integration.
