[Paul S.]

First, I find the term ‘blacks’ offensive. Black what? At least conceal your racism enough to say black people. As an African American, I would have to say that our loyalty to the Democratic Party is a case of the lesser of two evils. The Democrats are no angels; however, FDR was a Democrat, and he kept millions of African Americans (as well as non-African Americans) from starving during the Depression. African Americans haven’t forgotten that, and have passed that loyalty down to their children. Then there is the fact that Republicans are concerned only with the well-being of big business and big oil. Republicans are anti-working man, and a good percentage of black people tend to be working class, or have working class roots. If it weren’t for the obvious anti-black slant of the Republican Party (everything they support, from school vouchers to ending affirmative action to never raising the minium wage, to their opposition to OSHA, negatively affects huge numbers of black people), many more African Americans would vote Republican. African Americans tend to be conservative in most things. We only ally ourselves with the Democrats because the extermination of our race isn’t as high on their list of priorities as it is among Republicans.
