Re: Black Democrats may split from party
So are the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, killed in an illegal war, started by an illigitimate president, based on fabricated intelligence.

However, values do have a great deal to do with one political party over the other. For example, marriage, national security, taxes and more.

Re: Black Democrats may split from party
Why is that a surprise. It's close to election times and the Democrats are projected to win back at least the House and maybe the Senate. so naturally they line up in a circular firing squad and have at it. It's been happening for as long as I can remember and it will happen again. Somehow we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and than, on Nov. 8th, we all sit around and wonder what happened. Black Democrats not supporting the party is just the latest. We Democrats should pay attention to Chuck Shummer and win first. We can argue later. If you do not get elected you don't have to worry about who you support. You sit on the sidelines again!

Re: Black Democrats may split from party
Quote:
“Black women, in sum, are less likely to marry, stay married, and remarry. Those who marry do so at an older age than do whites. The differences between blacks and whites . . . are greater than they were a generation ago. As a result, black women spend far less of their life in a marriage than do white women. . . . white women now can expect to spend less than half of their lives married. But among black women, the corresponding figure has plunged from 40 percent to 22 percent – about the same proportion of life that the average college-educated person spends attending school. Marriage has become just a temporary stage of life for blacks, preceded by a lengthening period of singlehood and followed by a long period of living without a spouse. . . . For blacks, even more so than for whites, a long, stable marriage is the exception rather than the rule.” http://www.pobronson.com/factbook/pages/417.html Looking at the latino rates there is not good news either.. http://www.teenpregnancy.org/religio...Fact_Sheet.pdf

Re: Black Democrats may split from party
Impossible. With the Republican record on minority rights and being the party of the redneck south with their confederate flag loving base, I don't think you'll see many blacks signing up to be Republican and especially not if Obama runs.
