For decades, the black vote in the United States almost uniformly has gone to Democrats.
How’s that working out? Black unemployment is twice the national average, poverty rates are higher than before Democrats offered “help,” and the education system fails a disproportionate number of black children. That’s what 50-plus years of blind voting loyalty to Democrats has earned. And, thanks to those same Democrats and the nation’s first black president, it’s about to get a lot worse.
President Obama is set to legalize upwards of 5 million illegal aliens, with the dream of granting amnesty and citizenship to 6 million to 25 million more, based on estimates and chain migration. These aren’t Ph.D.s with seed capital ready to start tech companies; they’re low- and no-skilled workers with limited English skills ready to take any job available, especially entry-level jobs.
After decades of embracing Democrats on a national and local level, the black community is disproportionately poor and, therefore, a higher percentage of the Americans likely to be competing for those entry-level jobs.
Just six years ago, this extra thumb in the eye to a loyal Democratic voting base would have been unthinkable, but Hispanics are the new dominant minority in American politics. In the future, the black vote is going to be less and less necessary to Democrats, which means they will be taken for granted even more than they have been. Loyalty in politics lasts only as long as the last election.
Democrats won’t immediately ignore black voters. It will be gradual. When loyalty is garnered so effortlessly, dismissing it out of hand is folly. But it will happen.

So much for LBJ's thinking that "they'll vote Democrat for 200 years" while signing the civil rights bill.....
Is the GOP ready for the massive influx of Black and Hispanic Members? Are the Conservatives welcoming these people with open arms? Lol!
Let the truth be told. Well written and I'm a register democrat. Since the recent political beat down, I will NEVER vote again in any election as long as I live. Politicians and the government are liars, cheaters and corruptible. They will have too pay me cash for my vote.
Wouldn't bet on that one. A few are waking up with emphasis on FEW.
I am black and republican... We really do exist.
"the education system fails a disproportionate number of black children." The education system is NOT failing them. They are failing themselves for the way they choose to live and raise their children. Education is not important. It is a free babysitting service to many people. They would rather be drug dealers and street thugs than to actually get an education and a job. Until education becomes important in the home, the school system will continued to be blamed and cited with failure. Our society is killing education- not the school systems!!!
