Lamont is right but for the wrong reasons. The mostly non partisan economic policies of the USA have caused the demise of the cities of the rust belt. A combination of dangerously low/non existent tariff rates and the policy of offshoring have been a one - two punch. The Democrat clutch over the Northern black cities is a result if those policies. I might add the white flight in the 1950’s from the city to the ‘burbs played its part also.
And what’s this nonsense about 1% of blacks voting for Trump
All I can think of is AA.
Pelham says:
At eh.net you can find write-ups on the Fordney-McCumber Tariff of 1922, the rates of which were very close to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930.
The F-M Tariff was followed by the Roaring 20s, something that the S-H Tariff boogieman crowd can’t explain. Maybe the words “Smoot-Hawley” contain some magic that “Fordney-McCumber” lacks because otherwise the two tariffs weren’t much different.
Anyway economic data shows that the Great Depression began around August of 1929 and Smoot-Hawley wasn’t signed into law until nearly a full year later. The tariff didn’t help things but it wasn’t the cause of the Depression, the cause generally believed to be the massive cascading failure in the American banking system. Friedman and Schwartz devote a long chapter to this in their A Monetary History of the United States, and Schumpeter wrote about the role of American bank failures and the Depression as well.
Blacks would not have come North if there had been no jobs to come to.
American Airlines?
Alcoholics Anonymous?
African Americans?

DummycRAT is strong in this one.
The disasters of Memphis, Birmingham, Chicago, Rochester NY, Baltimore, etc. have little or nothing to do with Democrats.
If they did, Portland OR, Burlington VT, San Francisco CA and especially Windsor ON and Vancouver BC would be hellholes, and yet we know that is not so.
What are the Black pastors of Black churches doing? The one down the street in our neighborhood is driving his new Corvette. Most Black pastors live in much nicer neighborhoods than their members. (EX. Jeremiah Wright.) The blind are leading the blind, trusting in Democrat crooks such as Hillary Clinton, to save them from the cancer of a fallen culture. Shame on them.
Keep guessing. LOL
I was told something similar by a black dude in his late sixties ( during the eighties) He seemed genuinely embarrassed by the actions of his bretheren.
He said it was a myth that southern blacks came up north seeking factory jobs, when in fact, they were actually seeking northern liberal policies and welfare hand outs. I lived (visited) for a while with a southern black family in ‘87 and the first thing they said was “we all work for a living down here-yem”
It is both Democrats and the blacks that vote for them through the prism of black uber-alles. Portland Oregon is as liberal city as one will find anywhere. Ditto Bolder Colorado. They are not dysfunctional violent cesspools.
College drop-out to Ivy League professor. How does that work?
/rhetorical question
EBONY.COM: You’re a rising academic star. You earned your PhD in your twenties, published your first book by 30. But you dropped out of college as a freshman. How did you get derailed at Morehouse and how’d you get back on track at Temple University before earning your doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania?
When I was at Morehouse I found it to be a really strong community and academic environment. The problem was, I didn’t feel connected to it. One of the problems is I was more interested in basketball than school and when basketball didn’t work out the way I though it would I lost interest in school. I was still interested in ideas, in education but I wasn’t convinced that college was for me. And so I left. I spent time in Atlanta hanging out and getting in trouble. In the meantime there were elders, some of them I knew well, some complete strangers, who wisely encouraged me to get back on track. They told me that I was squandering an opportunity, that I wasn’t maximizing my potential and that I was gifted. I went back to Philadelphia, worked a 50 hr job and went to school full time and have been playing catch up every since. In fact, I think the amount of work I do now, this ripping and running, is partly animated by the belief that I haven’t caught up yet.
EBONY.COM: During those years you had actually dropped out of Morehouse and were no longer in school, could you imagine yourself a 33-year-old Ivy league professor?
My freshman year at Morehouse the annual Crown Forum speaker was Michael Eric Dyson. I hadn’t heard of him before I got there but he completely dazzled every student in the audience, including me. He was smart and engaging and he connected his academic knowledge to the problems facing our community. It was the first time I understood just how powerful words and ideas could be, it was the first time I understood you could get a PhD and help somebody. Even when I dropped out I held onto my excitement about the world of ideas.
EBONY.COM: You ended up working with Dr. Dyson at Penn…
Yeah, the universe works in awesome ways; my second year in grad school at Penn he came from DePaul and I reached out to him and became his assistant and he’s been a very important friend and mentor ever since.
This is so predictable. It’s as easy as wondering whose responsible when some atrocity occurs. In this case I read his name, his assenine statement and said it must CNN.
Back when I watched O’Reilly, Hill was on a lot. Whatever he had to say was not understandable. He talked so fast he never said anything. He was always a racist and an idiot.
Amen! They are largely a disaster. And many authentic black Christians recognize it, too. I am from Memphis and know a number of educated black Christians who do not hesitate to blame black pastors.
And all of this is because of the lying, stinking, cheating dimocraps who have robbed the black man of his pride, family, church and everything else that human beings hold of value.... Keep them poor...... Keep them drugged... Keep them stupid... Keep them dependent...
MHO...
I totally disagree with this guy. It surely does have something to do with it. Democrats have run cities for so long, that people there never learn to govern themselves. They shoot each other. They don’t know how a real govt is ran. They don’t see the connection between civil society and living in peace. Especially the rule of law.
Hill is a MARXIST so that explains why any Democrat machine or official who is just slightly to the right of Joe Stalin, Fidel Castro, and Mao is “not far left”.
He’s also an idiot. Comes with being a Marxist posing as a Democrat, but Democrats are, in modern times, also idiots.
A kind of ideological mental circle jerk with no end in sight.
