You know, folks American Blacks have been changing little by little. A major reason for this is that a huge amount of American Blacks, mainly males are marrying, or living with women not of their race, White, Hispanic Asian, etc. That action alone has awakened many Blacks to the “real” world of assimilation, which is real the true way to freedom, education and opportunity. Actually, Obama, the NAACP and CBC are fastly becoming outdated and ineffective as they become more and more radical in trying to forge America and Blacks into “third world” nation status. We shall see what progress has made come November 2, 2010!!! If American Black voters have both smarts and common sense, they will throw Obama and his Democrat Party under the bus for failing them so badly across the board!!!
You are so right! The other cause for open-mindedness is education. Many black folks are achieving the American dream and they want the same choice for their children. Also, they and their families have assimilated into residential communities all over the nation, to become friends and neighbors with whites. Many personal and emotional loyalties develope when this happens. When people go out into the work place, with an education, to make a living and then, are fortunate enough to make enough money to pay exorbitant taxes, the scales fall off the eyes and the truth becomes clear. Every time I see another AA running for office as a conservative, I rejoice, for I perceive the price these people pay to stand on their own principles. It is far greater than you or I would have to pay in this (for them) politically oppressive environment.
I think the impact of abortion is more visible to blacks now (when they didn’t go with the flow, BJ Clinton passed his welfare reform to prod them along). Blacks are losing to Hispanics in urban areas, the workplace, and even in prison. They can see they no longer have the political muscle (numbers) to avoid the ongoing betrayal of American blacks (as well as all Americans) by the Dems.
