That's the question of the century. And they usually aren't started by black people. What's the obsession?

We already know how most Hispanic-Americans will vote. White liberals will always vote Democrat also and conservative whites will mostly vote Republican. There will be no huge marginal change in any racial group's voting tendicies.

I'd say it's a split between liberal and conservative whites. No so much among Hispanics and blacks. They vote "typically".

Yep. Usually not started by Black people. Occasionally there is that one Black person. Most of the time, it isn't Black people starting those threads. It is the question of the century. The persons who start such threads are often the ones who refuse to answer the question.

Of any group, Blacks are more likely to vote Democrat than Hispanics are. More Hispanics vote GOP than Blacks do.

Since most blacks vote Democrat because of the socialism stance of that party and their propaganda that the GOP is racist, yes they will continue to remain on the Democrat plantation and there is no way that the GOP can reach them. It's a waste of time just as it is trying to woo the Hispanic vote. Better to focus on making white liberals see the light.

We keep hearing stuff like this, but no one can back it up with any actual proof. So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, Cheerio. Please show us the proof that "blacks have become very bitter towards the Democratic party." I'm truly interested in seeing what you come up with.

The ones who start these threads are the ones that love to talk ABOUT blacks people but don’t want to hear FROM them. Hence the reason, these same persons throw ***** fits when someone establishes a black space or thread intended to hear primarily from black people.

As a black person and a centrist who is currently a registered Democrat, I can say that many of us are becoming frustrated with Democratic Party. Frankly we are waking up to the realization that the D and R are one and the same and leaving one plantation shouldn’t mean simply going to another plantation.
