Blacks keep voting for Dems becuase if you even take a look at City-Data, all you see are right-wing white people assuming all Blacks are ghetto, poor and violent. Why should someone vote for a party full of people who hate them? Not very logical.
If Dems hate Blacks so much, why did they make one their leader and leader of the free world. Some hate there. .
As long as White America chooses to be ignorant towards African-Americans, their culture and their role in our history, why blame them for voting for their self-interests?

You go too far with your post. As a percentage of their population, Blacks are in ghettos, are poorer and are more violent than Whites or Asians. White Americans who are ignorant toward African Americans tend to be less racist. That is why states with a low percentage of African Americans are less racist than states with a high African American population.
African Americans as a percentage of their population depend more on Government assistance than Whites or Asians. Democrats are the party of spreading the wealth. Democrats want to tax those who produce more in order to support those who do not or can not produce. Because Blacks as a percentage of their population are less productive then Whites or Asians it makes sense that they would support Democrats. As you say, its logical.
This is interesting, considering I was JUST thinking about this yesterday. I don't know if blacks really believe either party wants to help them, but they know that there is a better chance with Democrats. Democrats know they have the black vote pretty much always, but Republicans know they pretty have the evangelical Christian vote every time as well. Both groups are pretty exploited by politicans. They don't have to do much convincing in order to get their vote. You could probably put David Duke as a Democrat and he would get the black vote.
Umm... so blacks are dropping out of school because of Democrats? LOL!
Umm... and they commit higher crime rates because of Democrats? WTF? LOL!
See the point yet?
I'm not saying the democrats "caused" it. I'm saying their policies make it worse. It becomes a self-perpetuating cycle because the democrats do not see anything wrong with their own polices/ideology.
Its also white liberal types that make excuses for poor and uneducated blacks and try to legitimize dysfunctional behavior.

The blacks in the U.S. need to change their culture if they want to improve thier lot. Simple as that.
No really? I totally didn't see that that before.
The problem is, if they keep voting for the policies and ideas of the democrats, they will remain poor and be plagued by high crime and high school dropout rates.
Blacks have been voting for Democrats at high percentages (up to 90%) for at the least the last 40 years, but they have seen little improvement in their communities ( in some cases total deterioration) . In cities like Oakland, CA for example, (run by democrats) you have some of the highest high school dropout rates and crime rates in the country.
My question is, do Democrats actually care about the demographic that consistently votes for them?
Are they doing this on purpose? Because it really seems so. To go 40 years voting for a party and have little to show for it would probably make me question my voting patterns.
Discuss.
Because I don't want to go to political rallies with people like you. Nothing personal but your posts suggests I wouldn't like it.

See I am really sure that I don't want political affiliation with you. This time two years ago I was a Black Republican for some of the base issues you suggest. But it was people with attitudes that you seem to possess that made me go back to the Democrats. At least I can disagree with them and still break bread without feeling dirty. Believe me other than a few plants not many Blacks would feel comfortable at a Sarah Palin rally.
And Republicans treat them much better? And white America gives a crap? And life in the US is fair? And Forty acres and a Mule? And Indians get what? And white men love guns, war and theft? and on and on and on.

When you can convince Black folk that you care about us than maybe just maybe the Republican Big Tent will actually grow. However until that happens moderates within the party can only hope and look down the road at the opposition tent that is overflowing with diversity.
