Black people treat themselves as victims. Furthermore, the last liberal president we really had was Eisenhower and he was a Republican. Before that, FDR. Obama is to the right of many Republicans currently serving even.
The middle is for morons and the middle gets nothing accomplished. It does not seek to address any problems. Status quo.
That is because black folk have been victims, but have been fed the same story that they will always be victims. There is difference. Benjamin Banneker talked about this. By the 60s, this was revisited by Malcolm X. Black folk don't like to hear that they can do better, and can change their lot. They like to listen to the pastors, who have a majority female congregation, that they are perpetual victims. And one day, you will overcome. Meanwhile, other minorities come here, and use the black communities. The black church has been the cornerstone of the Civil Rights Movement, but also serves as a means of pacifying the populace. And as perpetual victims, one needs those to champion them, especially those who feel guilty...you see where this is going?
