American Blacks worship like rightwing, gap-toothed, snake-handling hillbillies. But they vote like wealthy northeastern unitarian universalists.
Great analogy and it is so true. They spend hours in church on Sunday
The majority have bought in to the welfare state, and they are only interested in what government will do for them. Look what happened after Katrina. Pro-life conservative black candidates want to get the black population off of welfare, and many do not want any part of it.
I don't know a thing about black culture. It's a closely guarded secret. You have to live it, apparently.
Black culture appears amoral to me, however. Just a guess.
I know folks who really can't identify the principles of the guy they intend to vote for. They're quite adamant that he's the right guy, though. This phenomenon isn't new, either. I see two elements supporting it:
1) Historical family voting patterns. "My daddy was a (dRat|Pubbie) and my granddad was before him ... so I'm voting (dRat|Pubbie).
2) MSM do everything they can to obscure the candidates' principles and the history of those principles. Instead, MSM cast the election as a personality contest combined with a "trick-or-treat" mentality. Voters are then enticed to support the designated nice-guy-who-will-give-them-goodies. This phenomenon plays out in the primaries, as well as the general election.
They don’t know what they are voting for and they don’t care. He is “one of them” and that is all they need to know. I hate Howard Stern but I did hear his broadcast about going to Harlem and asking people on the street about Obama. Worse than sad. pathetic.
