This thread and others like it make me curious about whether Republicans would prefer to whine about elections or win them.

And guess what? They initially supported Clinton. Hillary Clinton had a 24% lead over President Obama in October 2007. It was when Obama starting doing very well among White voters in Iowa, a state where Blacks make up 2-3% of the population, then Blacks started putting their support behind President Obama.

yep! blacks see everything wrong in their lives as racism by the white man.
Until you learn to pick yourselves up, dust yourself off and stop expecting the government to wipe your ass for you and feed off the public tit, this is going to happen. Also, get rid of the chip on your shoulder and stop bringing down black people who actually have made a good life for themselves.

This thread makes me wonder if Democrats like being lied to. "if you like your healthcare you can keep your healthcare". "I'll get to the bottom of this" "al-quaeda is on the run" and on and on..

And wow, go figure, those shovel ready jobs weren't so shovel ready.

It's a variable that is conveniently ignored here.
I cite that statistic when liberals claim the right-wing is uneducated. It simply isn't true. That title overwhelmingly belongs to the left. They get really upset when they cannot refute that fact.

This is exactly what I am talking about. Whining. Whining about people who vote democratic, whining about laws passed by democrats, whining about democrats generally. Whining, whining, whining. Though it is easier then trying to win an election.

Such a comment shows ignorance. Such distrust of Republicans goes much further than Joe Biden. Blacks stopped voting Republican in large numbers since the 1960s.

And I have no idea of what you're talking about in regards to OOW births and pregnancies--it's an argument that you simply cannot win when it comes to comparing and contrasting the end result and after effects of their respective communities. And BTW, my great great grand parents WERE married, as were their children, my grand parents and my very own parents. Your great grand parents were in the "minority" in black families back then. Prior to the mid--1960s, black marriage rates were relatively similar to those of white families, and even in some cases HIGHER depending on where the community was located.
Could blue states have higher lives, sure, but I live in the South.

Black people live on one side of town, white people live on the other, this is the same of every town in my county as well as the neighboring 4. We have community based schools,s0 up until the middle school level, black kids go to one elementary school, and white kids go to another, We have our own churches as well. Despite the 2 open threads created by Northerners who have never visited the South, this place is still segregated.

As for the inequality part, a majority in the South being right at poverty level(equality by poverty for all) doesnt change the argument.

30% of ALabama is black, Democrats get the majority of that vote, And Republicans hold every single state wide office. So who black people vote for does not matter because a Republican will still win.

My argument for OOW and pregnancies is we dont know the real number of single parent house holds because its simply defined as not being married.
