Please tell me why (specifically)
Don't generalize with an answer such as, "democrats are nicer to us", give an example.

No. Because I don't have much melanin in my skin. So now you're going to rant on about how racist democrats are.

I'm not black. I'm not a democrat. But I am a criminal defense attorney in the South.
The poverty, drug abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse is rampant in our inner cities, if my practice is any indication.
Life caught in the welfare trap between low-paying jobs is a very real and pressing issue for our inner cities.
The democrats promise them help. We republicans talk about personal choice. For many of these people, this talk of personal responsibility is a myth that we tell ourselves so that we don't feel compelled to do anything about the problems they live with.
Some turn to crime. Drugs are an easy way to make some money. Some turn to prostitution. Some to theft. I am not condoning these behaviors, but I know them first-hand. Once criminalized, and black males are likely to beso, by the age of 18, it becomes impossible for them to find real employment, even at the minimum wage level. The frustration they feel often keeps them in trouble with the law, which they have been told since birth is supposed to take care of them.
There is a disconnect in our society. I blame public education. Until there is an approach to public education that teaches people how to succeed in this world by making the right choices from the plate each has, it will only get worse.
The democrat's welfare approach, currently in place, is not doing anything but keeping people enslaved "to the man."

I am not black, but it has always puzzled me why blacks have overwhelmingly abandoned the party that ended slavery and brought about the civil rights amendment to join the Democrat party and vote for former klansmen like Robert Byrd and David Duke.

I am not black but i will say most black's r democrat. I am democrat. Blacks unlike the present hispanic's invading this country fought for the right to vote. Two of my favorite people r Martin luther King and Anwar Sadaat.
I have known black friends, who were beautiful and attended black parties with the old music 'motown'.
My best friend in another country gave me a picture of her baby, she was from Georgia and black, her baby beauitful.
I am running on, but I have one thing left to say---black-if u call yourself that or not have earned every right in the USA........Most people who serve in the service r democrat-no lie!
The republicans tend to use people and none of them want their son or daughter in the service, so they pay well for them to go to a college of their choice.
This world is not equal. God bless the man,.
