THANK YOU. That's all I'm saying. I've wondered this for the last few election cycles, to answer Dtown's question. It's always been a given that over 90% of black people vote Democratic, but nobody says why. The unspoken assumption is just, "hey, they're black," which works against the progress we've made in perception of people based on race alone.
