> That is wonderful news. I hope, though I’m not optimistic, that they will continue to vote at a high rate even if a black person is not running. Minorities know that they will only get the help they need by electing Democrats. CEOs and the rich are still disproportionately old and white, and the GOP caters to them like servants. The only way to get income inequality down is to have more liberals in office and more liberal laws passed. OMGABC notwithstanding, most African Americans know that they will be helped be Democrats and hurt profoundly by Republicans
