Dear former Senator Moseley-Braun,
I know you’re not too quick on the uptake, so I’ll try to keep this simple:
Blacks are more anti-abortion than whites, but the opinion of radical feminists is more important to Democrats, so don’t expect that to matter;
Blacks are generally pro-military, especially those who have family members who have thrived in military service, but the opinion of far-left pacifists is more important to Democrats, so don’t expect that to matter;
Blacks suffer from lousy urban schools more than any other ethnic group, but the interests of the teacher’s unions are far more important to Democrats, so don’t expect that to matter;
Blacks are more loyal to the donkey party at the ballot box than any other constituency, but when it comes to something like the Chicago mayor’s race, the career of well-connected former Clinton butt-boy is far more important, so don’t expect that to matter either.
In other words, former Senator M-B, If you’re black and you’re a Democrat, get used to the back of the bus, because when push comes to shove, that’s where they expect you to be.
Excellent post.
