Also, why do most successful blacks (besides gangster rappers and Oprah) vote Republican?

Over a hundred posts, and yet nobody has yet answered my question.

Who are these successful black people? You obviously didn't read my first post. We don't vote Republican. And I'm one of them. We are truly about equality which we do not see in the corporate work place or when applying for a mortgage/personal/business loans. So please tell me about these "successful" black Republicans.

If you look at all of the TOP AA's and top AA organizations (like the Greek fraternities and sororities and black owned businesses) and the many leaders (whom all have PhD's)that preside over them, all back leaders who are about breaking those barriers that prevent us from achieving the best and reaching to the top. And the REPUBLICSLIMS platform is not about that. You see, we don't vote on finances, we vote on issues and the truth. Why vote for 4 more years of lies and deceit? Do you think we are dumb?

Today, I helped a black couple cast off from Bayside marina in Miami (FL) today. They are undoubtedly Republicans - they own their own boat (34' Sea Ray) and they were going for a sunet cruise. They had two pounds of stone crab and a bottle of sparkling wine! How fun!!! Black yachtsmen!!! I love it!!! They were so nice! They are part of the 7% blacks who vote Republican... Hint, hint...... (Vote Republican if you are successful or you are a business owner, only *haters* vote Democrat because they are jealous because they don't have as much money as you...) GO BLACK REPUBLICANS!!!!
I like your assumption that they're republicans because they have a boat. Next time, why not ask them?

My mother was born in 1921, they were cotton pickers. Tenant farmers. For her family, FDR saved the planet. She votes only democrat.

Education. Fear. Ignorance. Willingness. Faith. There's no one reason why blacks prefer to vote for democrats or why successful blacks tend to be Republican.

It's like asking why they built a gas station at 1st and Main instead of Main and 1st.

I think the question answers itself.

Why do more educated people from Ivy League Schools (Obama) vote Democratic? Why are more ignorant uneducated bigots Republicans who have no teeth and live in trailers (majority of the south)?

In 2004, 99 of the 100 fastest growing counties voted for George W. Bush.

"Growing" Heck, I know why. If their families are anywhere like Palin's, child rearing is the norm. For everybody.

Exactly. They are probably those tract home suburbs in which everyone lives above their means trying to follow the Jones.
