Re your post #42:

There is some merit in what you say, but it still doesn't explain the unpleasant fact that every single Black politician (as I said earlier, no matter how Southern, rural, or "sanctified") automatically becomes an across-the-board social liberal (advocating everything from euthanasia, to "animals are people too," to homosexuality, to "creationism is anti-science!") from the very instant they become politicians.

If your Black female was representative of the Black population, why aren't there ever any conservative Black Democrats (at least on non-racial, non-economic issues)?

Honestly. This is what I don't get.

Because, like all politicians, they lust for power above all else. If they want the power of moving up in the Democrat machine, that's what they have to believe. ALL politicians change their personal beliefs as they move up the ladder. Remember, Al Gore was pro-life at first...

That's fairly simple. For decades now, the Democrats have taught blacks that conservative = Republican = racist. Black conservatives get ostracized and demonized, and so they either get quiet or switch over to the Republican party -- VERY hard to do when you've been taught your whole life that Republicans hate you.

Have you ever heard liberals use the phrase "voting in your self-interests?" That's code for "Republicans hate you, so you'd better vote for the Democrat instead."
