[lbo-talk] leadership

[Doug Henwood]

An interesting datapoint for those who say that white leftists in the 
US should take leadership from blacks. From Gallup:


>The Racial Divide
>Opinion of the Democratic Party
>Blacks are much more likely than whites to view the Democratic Party 
>positively. Seventy-two percent of blacks have a favorable opinion 
>of the Democratic Party, while 18% view it unfavorably. Among 
>non-Hispanic whites, 44% rate the party favorably and 43% rate it 
>unfavorably. [Sep 8-11, 2005]
