=======================================
So what is about these black folks that they can't recognize what (mostly
white) (mostly middle class) radicals so clearly and confidently see as
being in their best interests?
Are black people just plain dumb - congenitally unable to recognize when they are getting pissed on? Just a bunch of Stepin Fetchits fawning at the feet of massa and missus Clinton?
What other conclusions can you draw? How else to explain their abject political subservience to a party of closet Klansmen?
And, while we're at it, what about trade unionists, women, gays, and Hispanics who also strongly support the Democrats? Why do they persist in thinking it is of any consequence to them which of the major parties controls the government?
Can it be that the conservatives are right - that "the people" are inherently incapable of understanding what is in their best interests at any particular time, and that these decisions are best left to the more highly educated and better cultured?
