So, read the news paper today in my surrounding areas, (Okeechobee County and Palm Beach County and surrounding areas) and it appears the majority of local commissioners, mayors, county senators, etc, that have campaigned and elected are black, but the counties in which they reside in, especially Palm Beach, has about 1.5 million whites while there are about 260,000 blacks. So this notion that American whites are racist towards blacks seems very misconstrued.
How is it that there seems to a high amount of black political leaders in major cities when they make up only 13-16 percent of the demographics? They aren't even the second most dominated race in America anymore, they come behind the number 2 which is the Hispanic populations. So, just curious how they are able to rise so fast in the political world. Is it affirmative action that is doing it's job, or should we finally admit that white people are not these racist devils that the MSM and Hollywood like to say they are.
And, what will be the climate when Hispanics finally outnumber whites?
I don't think that everyone in America is racist. Just those that would start a thread with "If America is so racist..."
What's really interesting is that some of the most high profile black conservatives, Bobby Jindal, Nikki Haley and Tim Scott, were elected mainly by whites including the types of whites that the liberal media loves to stereotype - rural, Southern, Confederate flag supporting whites.

Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley are black???? They sure fooled me.
Georgia is 47% minority and 32% black but elected a voter-suppressing Republican nativist as Governor over a black woman who was preaching interracial cooperation.

If there is a black Democrat in a race, the vast majority of blacks will automatically vote for that person. Between a white Democrat and a black Republican they will still go Democrat though.
Hispanics will always vote for their own when possible regardless of party. For them racial solidarity is paramount which is also why even legal Hispanics often support DACA and oppose the wall. The only exception for Hispanics is the Cubans. Most Mexicans are very loyal to Mexico and will vote for what they see as Mexico's best intersts not America's. It is nearly impossible for a white or black person to be elected in a majority Hispanic district. In a majority Hispanic district the majority of people won't even speak English. Whenever Hispanics are in a position like Miami or South Texas where they're no absolutely required to learn English they will not do so and tend to not assimilate into American culture.
A white American will never be mayor in a city like Miami, San Antonio, or Laredo unless they are completely assimilated into Mexican culture ie have a Mexican spouse etc and even that might not be enough. Hispanics are a very insular group along with Muslims.

If a portion of America wasn't racist-white politicians would be elected in black districts.
