Why are you assuming blacks vote uniformly Democrat?  Is it because they do?!?   OMG!!!!!!    How is that not racist?!?

Haw haw, sounds like someone has not spent much time examining/vetting definitions of racism.

To give you a bit of a jump start--critiquing racism is not itself racism, even though the critic may mention "race."

By the way, I assume blacks vote "uniformly" Democrat because polls have shown that for the last three decades. Relying on social science for data and methods of interpreting them is not in itself racist.

Going to just ignore the facts and what is happening in the TWENTY-FIRST century?!?

Whenever did placing issues in historical context constitute "ignoring the facts" and "what is happening in the TWENTY-FIRST century"?

If you can grant that white racism towards blacks has, at least historically, found legal expression in laws which restrict black voting without mentioning race, we'll be in position to determine whether that continues more or less openly today, in old or new forms. Productive conversation could follow, instead of smoke and more smoke.  Bpat and Bels have also made substantial points that you have not directly engaged. I am genuinely curious as to how you respond to them.

Less "WOW" and more "how."
