Reply #199: No, I think you are missing something you should have addressed.

AAs did show up in record number and voted for Dems. BUT, many of those were (large-C) Conservatives, remaining fooled by the Conservative hype, YET voting for the here-to-fore horrifying Liberal because his being black meant more to them than that label of Liberal.

These cross-voters are not the usual intelligent Dem voters. They are fooled as were many whites fooled.

YOU are not complaining about the white Conservative voters, yet you are complaining about black Conservative voters -- and that is unfair. You need to subtract them out and you did not even attempt to do that.

You lumped them all together and claimed the problem was with blacks.

No! The problem is not about them being black!

If you wish to say that these less intelligent of the black community should see the similarity of black struggles and gay struggles, I can see your point, but only to a point. Yes, there are similarities, but note, there are sufficient differences to argue against it being similar enough.

They are human. They are entitled to their mistakes.

You did not acknowledge that they are just as human as are the whites. And that's not good.
