What "free goodies" do educated professionals get from Democrats?
White guilt therapy and reputation boosts with their liberal friends. Educated professionals voting Democrat is against their own interests in a similar way to how Democrats claim poor whites vote against their own interests.

How is not voting for billionaire tax cuts against my own interests?
Hey look, it's the person that referred to me as "you and other racists" that when I objected claimed they hadn't said "you".
Now you want to have a discussion? No thanks, I don't have time for you and other racists.
I don't remember referring to you as a racist lol.
If I did, you must have made some sort of racist comment but it is funny you are still upset about it. A poster called me a "nig" on this forum and I don't even remember who it was lol.

Hillary's economic platform is based on free stuff for the poor. What in it is specifically beneficial to you? Whether or not a billionaire gets a tax cut has no impact on you, assuming that you aren't a billionaire.
That said, given Hillary's statements in her $250K speeches to bankers and finance guys, do you really think the billionaires won't benefit from Hillary?
The solid south is already broken up. Anyways the term initially applied to the South voting for Democrats.
Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida all have voted for Obama at least once.
I also would argue that it is more to do with white southerners becoming more diverse in their votes than more African Americans voting (in lock step).
The black vote is anything but meaningless...as they virtually all vote the same way. The GOP must find a way to win some of that share.
Virginia isn't the deep south. North Carolina is an anomaly within the south (lots of urban areas and lots of major colleges and universities) and Florida isn't really much of a southern state electorally. It's always been loaded with transplants.
Otherwise, your point is well taken.

An increasing number of black people have figured Democrats out through Obama, who was a huge disappointment to what many thought he would be.
Actually the larger factor will be how many illegals can they get to vote.
If that's what you're seeing, then you're the only one I know that sees it.

To Frank's credit, he's pretty equal opportunity on this stuff. Race baiting isn't his bag. He'd say the same thing about white people.

Knock off the nonsensical ranting.

Lol...did you even read the link?

The bigger issue is how little cache blacks get in terms of a seat at the political table due to the fact that they're not going to vote for the other party....free milk and all that.
Maybe after helping the democrats so much they will have some of their concerns about policing, profiling, incarceration etc. addressed? I mean, the worst places for that are places like LA, Chicago etc. which being democratic bastions should make it easy for the favor to be returned.
Right?
Nope. That ain't gonna happen. Sounds good though.
African Americans don't know how to marshall political power like that. We're too spread out with too many varying interests.

I see children having healthcare coverage as something that benefits society at large (which includes me).
I see curbing greenhouse emissions as being something that benefits society at large (which includes me).
I see not cutting taxes in the middle of an economic recovery (what Romney wanted to do) as something that benefits society at large (which includes me).
I see requiring higher income earners (which includes me) in order to balance our budget as something that benefits society at large (which includes me).
