re: The Dems are finished as a national party - Trump at 40% approval with African Americans

Black patriots like Tbird and many others are to thank for this. They're putting theirselves out there, in the line of fire, and showing that their race need not be enslaved by any party (metaphorically speaking) but rather that they should belong where it makes the most sense to be- where your party actually wants you to be equal and successful.
