Those are strong assumptions. I don't really think they are accurate.

I don't think there is much affection in the Black community for Nixon, Reagan, Bush, and Bush. Those republican presidents needed to prove to the Black community that their lives can be better under Republican administrations.

In addition, many local politicians are in the Democrat party. There's a saying that all politics is local - its true for both parties.

There have been many successful Black leaders who have achieved wealth but it is troubling that Black Americans live in poor communities. Maybe we need to improve our school systems or blame the media influence. There just are too few industries that Black Americans feel they can be successful in.

The democrats know that blacks think they can't go anywhere else, so they are taken for granted.
