Too, with more and more Black people marrying out, IMHO there won't be many "real" Black people left in 2214 in the US. Even in 2014 more and more quadroons and especially octoroons self ID as "anglo white" because MOST have white skin and many have light eyes.
Actually, 80% of Blacks marry within their own ethnicity. And the percentage of Blacks getting married to anyone is dropping.

And, to be clear, white people don't care WHO you vote for either. The only concern we've shown is that the Democratic black monolith makes no sense whatsoever. WHO is irrelevant.
As I said in another post, if you do not care who Blacks vote for, it's useless to talk about it. If you are so concerned about the monolith, what are you going to do about it?

Yes it is. If someone does not care about a certain demographic, one should not complain when the demographic does not vote for their interests.

Not sure why you think the U.S. Census and the liberal think tank demography expert, Dr. Frey, are wrong. What exactly are your credentials to challenge them? Do you have a PhD in Sociology?

That isn't the point. Blacks aren't just moving to red states. They are moving to blue states too. And something else. Fulton County(Atlanta), DeKalb County(Atlanta area), Harris County(Houston), Dallas County(Dallas,TX), all of blue counties within red states. Philadelphia area is mainly blue, located within blue states. DC areas is basically blue, both VA and MD. Florida is a blue states and Miami is a blue region. Minnesota is a blue state as well.

I'm not the descendant of immigrants nor am I an Indian.

And I don't care about new arrivals. Bring in as many as you want. Ain't slowing my roll.

Here is what I think will probably happen. The demographics are clearly changing and with another big push for immigration reform plus the possible legalization of kids coming over the border in a matter of time Hispanics will gain more and more political power. As a minority group themselves they will feel in no way obligated to give minority status to blacks or any other group. Their reasoning will be they haven't discriminated against anyone, didn't own slaves, etc. So any other minority group will be on their own. By their sheer nunbers they will dominate politically and culturally.

In order for something more conducive to the intended principles America was founded on to flourish once again the current system must collapse to make room. Fortunately this is inevitable due to inertia.

My money is on a "Western educated" African from the deepest Congo who will do muti killings on the South Lawn to help relieve Western droughts.

The "federales" as you call them will take anything. Everyone has to pay taxes. My father pays them, my neighbors(Black and White) pay them. It is what it is.

As for how this relates to voting, Black people are going to vote for whom they feel is the lesser of two evils, since neither party is that impressive anymore. It is none of your business. If you feel it is your business, then what do you propose to do about it?

As the smallest voting group, behind independents and registered Democrats, the GOP will never win POTUS until they form a big tent coalition.

Mittens won the same % of white voters as Reagan 1984, and Mittens was done before the 10 o'clock news election night. That was not his fault alone, it has been a party wide effort which has alienated all except Dixie and the more bison, than people Great Plains. That falls several dozen ECs shy of the Oval Office, at best!

Bush won solely by winning far larger percentages of the non-white vote. He understood the math-2.4 million additional non-white voters every 4 years. That means, if demographics of voting stay stabile, the 2016 GOP nominee will wish for a voting population as friendly to the GOP as Mittens experienced.
