I think its called a product of your background and its values. Much like how the Klampets moved into Beverly Hills but it didn’t change how in their own way they were very ignorant. Instead of the Hills and a shack their new location was a mansion but it didn’t stop them from using the cement pond and putting chickens on the pool cues and eating at the pool table. Its like the individuals you describe and I’ve seen it myself. I find some people live in a social bubble not really aware outside of it,how they are perceived and their behavior associated with it.

To understand the voting habits of blacks is to understand the history of the democratic party. The democratic party was the part of the south that yes supported jim crow laws and every other social ‘injustice’ so to speak. It was the party of Jessie Helms, Wallace and every other southern politicians of that ilk. It was also the party in those areas that fought hard against blacks getting the right to vote, discouraging etc. The Republican party interesting enough was the party of abolitionists, the only party that during reconstruction had the first black senator and congressman and encouraged their political preticipation during THAT time period. It was the party of social change and new ideas. It was that northern party as some in the south would refer with their LIBERAL and SOCIAL idealism. The party much like today of the more affluent. When Lyndon Johnson passed the civil rights act the majority of the social segregationists were OUTRAGED and they defected to the republican party and brought the ideas of the southern democratic south with them. The purpose of the blacks and why they are democratic was back then it was to break into the party so to speak get the right to vote and make a change in the very party that worked so hard to deny them. Do your own research and don’t listen to me. All the Jessie helms type politians who are still alive and of that age range were originally democrats. It what my friends call the never discussed switch a roo. In our eyes the rednecks, the defacto racists,segregationists,truck riding flag flying,white trash,anyplace except where the niggers are who WERE back then democrats went over to the republican party. Now their children are republicans without the history of the change. Except the parents brought their ideas with them. Sadly to say the Barry Goldwaters and the other republican politicians who still do have the spirit of the early day republican party voices to me are diluted and knocked to the side. Replaced by evangelical christians and other minority not included types. Why would anyone want to belong to that?

Yes I would vote for a republican if he/she was the best canidate and I think we do. Cross over voting yes registering as a repub no. Yes we fought and made inroads to the democratic party who was at a time the say way but maybe we’re just plain tired of fighting. Its an old shoe but its broken in and were comfortable perhaps too much.
