knock it off
black people in general are VERY conservative.... even here in california when we "all" voted for obama, "we" also voted down the gay marriage proposition. so clearly black people know how to think differently than the party
the fact of the matter is, repubs pretty much haven't sided with anything of interest to the black community since the abolishment of slavery. that is why we're so die hard for democrats

You must be pretty young.... You obviously don't remember the "dixiecrats" of the 1950's, 60's. and 70's
And if you think that the democrats are doing things in the interests of the black community, like making them now generationally dependent on government, as opposed to self-empowered, and constantly drumming into the community's heads that they are "victims" and can't advance without a big helping hand from the government, then you and I differ on what is in their interests, I guess. I have several black friends that totally agree with what Herman Cain said about what the democrats have done to the black community, and these are people that came up from some of the poorest areas. They think that the dems have done this so as to make the community forever reliant on government, and forever voting for the people who will give them what they will forever need.
