Mystery of Black Support for Democrats Deepens
It's a given in modern American politics that without the monopoly on the black vote they so insultingly take for granted, Democrats would stand no chance of getting elected. What has not been given is a rational explanation for why blacks vote for a party that holds them in such low esteem.
The Democratic Party's acceptance of lowlife like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson as representative of the black community is cynical at best. But the wrath directed at any black public figure who does not toe the party line is absolutely chilling.
Everyone remembers the "high tech lynching" they put Clarence Thomas through. Now they're subjecting Condoleezza Rice — who no reasonable person could deny is supremely qualified to be the next Secretary of State — to similar treatment in her confirmation hearings.
As if to pour a little extra salt in her wounds, it is a former member of the Ku Klux Klan who is spearheading the effort to drag out her inevitable confirmation so as to subject her to as much denigration as the Democrats can manage.
As reported by NewsMax and remarked on by Michelle Malkin and The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler, Senator Robert Byrd has announced "that he would not allow the Senate to approve Ms. Rice without a few days of consideration of her lengthy testimony, and at least a token debate on the floor."
Democrat Byrd left the Klan in 1943, but continued his association with the group long afterward, and was still publicly calling people "niggers" as recently as 2001. In 1964 Byrd demonstrated his devotion to racial harmony by filibustering the Civil Rights Act for 14 straight hours.
NewsMax quotes the honorable Democrat from West Virginia:
I should rather die a thousand times and see old glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen of the wilds.

Why do YOU think that black people vote for the Democratic Party? Is it because of what the Dems do or don't do, or what the GOP does or does not do?

Personally I think it's a matter of effective use of propaganda to create the impression that Republicans are secretly hostile to blacks. Take the ads before the 2000 election that exploited the James Byrd murder. They made it sound like Bush was sympathetic to Byrd's killers, which is outrageous and totally unsupported. But a case like that is going to draw out intense gut reactions. Once you plant an association between Republicans and racist sociopaths like the goons in Jasper in people's minds, it takes root there at a subconscious level, even if it isn't supported by evidence.

I'm guessing it has something to do with social support programs, education, health care, etc.. Agendas supported by the Democratic Party and lipserved by the GOP. Robert Byrd is one member of the Senate, one member of the Democratic Party. If we're going apples to apples, you'll need a stronger argument. Do you really think the Republicans are going to put forward a strong social platform for those making less than say, 90g? Don't lie.
