Race and voting- How the blacks are being hoodwinked.

Blacks in our country overwhelmingly vote Democrat. In the 2008 election, roughly 96% of black voters voted for Barack Obama. But it has very little to do with race. Over 90% of blacks were voting for Bill Clinton in the 1990s as well. It has to do with perception. The perception is that Democrats are the ones who want to help the black community. But what’s the truth? The black community has been hoodwinked. Many times by black leaders like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Forget about what you think. How has welfare worked for the black community? Has it gotten people out of poverty, or has it created a cycle of poverty that has hurt all poor people, but especially black? And how about pro-abortion? Why is it that black women make up roughly 13% of the female population in the U.S., yet account for about 35% of all abortions? Ever notice where all the abortion clinics are located?
Living right next to Detroit my whole life (and considering myself a Detroiter, no matter what Martha Reeves thinks), it’s always pained me to see the crime and poverty that runs rampant there. Yet they seem to bring a lot of it on themselves, electing and re-electing corrupt mayors. So I was curious to see what Detroit had in common with other cities with high crime and/or poverty rates. So first I looked at the cities in the U.S. with the highest poverty rate according to the 2006 U.S. Census Bureau. My findings:

City % of people below poverty level Democrat or Republican Mayors
Detroit, MI......32.5.......Elected Democratic Mayors since 1961
Buffalo, NY......29.9.......Elected Democratic Mayors since 1954
Cincinnati, OH...27.8.......Elected Democratic Mayors since 1984
Cleveland, OH....27.0.......Elected Democratic Mayors since 1989
Miami, FL........26.9.......Has never elected a Republican Mayor

Skeptics might note that the top four cities listed are located in the “Rust Belt,” and the change of our economy is causing the poverty. But that does not entirely explain it when you have a city like Cincinnati, whose metropolitan area is currently home to ten Fortune 500 companies, ranking 6th in the U.S.
But to be fair, let’s look at the cities (pop. 500,000 or more) with the highest crime rate in the U.S. (Detroit happens to be #1 on both lists). The crime rankings factor in six different crimes as reported by the cities: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft.
City Democrat or Republican Mayor
Detroit, MI..........Elected Democratic Mayors since 1961
Baltimore, MD........Elected Democratic Mayors since 1967
Memphis, TN..........Elected Democrat Mayors for past 100 years
Washington, D.C......Elected Democratic Mayors since 1975
Philadelphia, PA.....Elected Democratic Mayors since 1952

Can you guess the demographics of these cities? Each city has a much higher percentage of blacks than the state they reside in. Buffalo, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia are the only cities that are under 50% black. Detroit is 80% black. Miami is 88% black and latino. Tell me again what Democrats are doing for minorities?
Now I can’t claim that these cities are full of crime and poverty because they vote Democrat. Because if it were all Republicans running these cities for all these years with absolutely no progress, I’d be asking the same questions. Why are people doing the same thing over and over again? Wouldn’t you try something new, just to see? Wouldn’t you demand change? It’s about accountability.
The people of these cities have made it known. We will vote Democrat. It doesn’t matter what you do. It doesn’t matter if you’re a crook, it doesn’t matter if you’re busted smoking a crack pipe, we will continue to vote Democrat. So these politicians have no reason to do what’s right, outside of their own morals, of course (ha!). And frankly if you continue to vote the exact same year after year and get the same results (or worse), than you get what you deserve.
Democratic politicians are like those parents that try to be the “cool parents.” Make decisions now based on what is popular, regardless of what is right. Regardless of the long-term consequences. You want to drop out of school? No problem, we’ll take care of you. You want to sleep around? No problem, we’ll take care of it. And many of us are sitting on the outside trying to be heard. You know this is not what’s best. You know this will do more harm than good, right? But just like those teenage kids drinking beers by the pool, many having a good time, enjoying the free ride, they don’t want to hear the truth.
