The reveal here is the idea that black people segregate *themselves*. It's well known that black people are segregate out by the greater society, and that we have mostly been objecting to this quite loudly for centuries. IOW, you're talking a bunch of racist garbage.

Voluntary segregation is not the idea of black people. For 400-plus years, America told blacks they were different and inferior, told us we were not welcome in the same schools, neighborhoods, churches, families, businesses, workplaces, army, navy, marine corps and cemeteries as whites - and this was enforced violently and legally to the letter. So, for less than 50 years we suddenly have been told that the law has changed and we're no longer subject to Jim Crow in our daily lives. Anyone with a brain knows things don't change that quickly. So forgive me if some black folk don't trust the notion that we're all one big happy family all of a sudden. We've tried to be absorbed in the melting pot, and it doesn't want us. So to expect that suddenly to happen is insane, despite the continued overwhelming level of allegiance black people have shown to this society.

They have been a democratic racial special interest for some time.

White racists have been a racial special interest for the Republican Party since the Southern Strategy.

I found one thread talking about Blacks and their voting patterns, and it dates back to the very last days of the Bush Administration.

I think the correct approach is to go back to core conservative Republican ideals like less gov't, less taxes, less spending, less regulation and gov't reform, and then try to educate / convince all the American people that this is the best approach to resolving America's problems. Essentially, instead of going after groups, I say the GOP should go after everyone in different communities like Mitt Romney did his speech at the NAACP.

I don't really have an issue with gay dudes that are not into getting into your business and trying to make you gay, but I got an issue against gay dudes that are out on the street trying to rape dudes.

I never thought about carrying a gun, but with dudes out there who rape dudes, now I might have to. I mean, sometimes you can fight someone off and sometimes you can't. Either way, the older you get the more likely an injury will stick with you and lower your quality of life, and sometimes to an excessive amount. If someone is trying to rape me though, what choice do I have?

That's the problem I got.

I mean, I'm not even down with people having weapons because I think it's a scared tactic for the most part, but at the same time I can understand. I do have an issue now though because when you got aggressive gay dudes running around on the streets trying to rape people now I might have to get a gun.

Now people are trying to take guns away while upping the amount of aggressive gay street dudes. How does that make sense?

I don't see why this issue isn't being addressed.

And as I've already mentioned in another thread, racial segregation is still most alive and well in blue states and cities.

A recent report from the UCLA Civil Rights Project names New York’s schools the most segregated in America. Other Democrat controlled states like Illinois, Michigan, Maryland, and New Jersey were cited just behind New York for maintaining the most segregated schools in the country. Imagine that...

The most segregated schools may not be in the states you’d expect - The Washington Post

So, why do Blacks vote for the political party that clearly doesn't want them around, and especially not in their kids' schools?

Because if we voted for the other party, they wouldn't want us in any schools at all.
