So, everybody/entity white is discriminatory?

Get a clue, union membership is at its lowest levels in sixty years. Didn't you liberals learn your lesson from Wisconsin?

Liberals don't really care about black people they just want their vote. They talk to black people like a pimp, tell them what they want to hear. But their policies say like wise like supporting illegals aliens, which suppresses wages and hurts black people who do blue collar jobs.

Because that's where all the jobs are, in the right to work states like texas. Even the normal people from California are getting out of that liberal hell hole, and moving to Texas. I see so many California plates in Texas it's ridiculous.

That might be true (though I doubt it) but at least the Democratic Party is not constantly insulting them and attempting to enact laws harmful to them. Republicans are always doing that.

Is it any wonder why they don't vote for Republicans?

A powerful coalition of minorities was crucial to Obama's victory in 08 and it will be crucial again to his victory in 2012. In fact, it is Obama's strong showing among minorities, particularly Latinos, that have put several former red states into play as swing states. The GOP is depending on conservative whites and an unlimited supply of Wall Street money to win the election. However, there is a limit to the amount of votes that money can buy.
Why would black people vote for a party that cares little about illegal immigration? Which race suffers the most, employment wise, when the illegals get the jobs?

It is the difference between a party that has principals and does not look at Americans as black, white, hispanic etc...but looks at everyone being the same, has the same shot at making a successful life. The Democrats look to divide and pit one ethnic group against the others. They win elections this way, but it is not the country that most people want to live in.

Republicans don't look on Americans as black, white, Hispanic etc? Then why did the GOP position itself as a whites only party since the civil rights movement of the 60s. Ever heard of the "southern strategy"? The Republicans are always the ones who try to stoke racial strife and division in the country. The Democrats see themselves as a big tent party which is inclusive of everyone from all races. The Democratic party is as diverse as the rest of America. The same can't be said of the GOP.
