Why Is the Black Vote in the Democrats’ Pocket?(PART 1)
Why do 90% of eligible black Americans vote Democrat and call themselves liberal?
A few weeks back, I lambasted prominent black conservatives for even thinking of voting for Barack Obama, a man who embodies only one part of the two-word description “black conservative.â€
Several black conservatives were quoted in the article to which I was responding. However, the most revealing quote came from former U.S. Representative J.C. Watts (R-OK):
J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he’s thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he’s still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them. http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/why-is-the-black-vote-in-the-democratic-pocket/
