Paft: Does the fact that most black residents of inner cities vote Democratic mean that Democrats will have the power to do anything they want in the inner cities? Really? d: if they have no power, then who does?
I didn't say they had "no power." I questioned whether or not they have "the power to do anything they want in inner cities." The fact, for instance, that black precincts voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates did not prevent many of those same black precincts from seeing massive voter suppression in Florida in 2000. The people calling the shots about the poll lists were not Democrats, but the Republican state attorney general and her people.
d: how exactly does the republican party suppress voters in democrat strongholds?
Voter caging, removing names from the voter rolls, sometimes sending out deceptive flyers to black neighborhoods, assigning a deliberately low number of voting machines, or making sure the machines shipped to those districts are badly maintained and prone to breakdowns...
Do you understand how voter suppression works?
Paft: Is it your contention that Black Americans are, as a group, stupid and gullible and consistently vote against their own best interests? d: most voters are stupid and gullible, full stop.
Are black voters, as a group, more stupid and gullible than white voters?
