I don't know who expects blacks to be superhuman. My guess is that they feel the variations in state policy, which to whiter people can sometime seem distant, more acutely. Very material interest.

The expectation of superhuman insight is buried within the anguished question: 'why do so many AAs support the Democratic party?' There's a subtextual, parallel query: 'Surely AAs see through America generally and the dems in particular...how can they smell the thing's rotteness and yet still offer what seems to be overwhelming and enthusiastic support?'
The questions reveal an excess of analysis.
For all practical purposes, there are only two political parties in the US. Only one of those two parties *appears* to have any AA interests in mind. Under these very narrow circumstances, the choice all but makes itself.
I'm sorry comrades, but I don't understand why something so clear and direct has inspired so much list debate.
Also...
Healthy distance from, and intelligent cynicism about propaganda conjured new dawns (for example, the relentlessly pushed idea that HRC or B. Obama represent "positive change") is difficult to maintain without a coherent counter story.
Concerns about racism aside, we AAs are as susceptible to most types of American enthusiasms as our Asian, Euro and Hispanic American cousins.
