Black voters

The democratic party relies heavily on support from the Black community. If they were to lose this voting bloc they would not win many elections. Over the years Blacks have made progress and democrats can take some credit for that. Blacks have also been held back by many of the laws generated by democrats. The job creation by Trump opened the eyes to many Blacks and they voted accordingly. This was a frightening challenge to the democratic party. They have over the years maintained control by accusing conservatives of racism. When someone says you are a racist you are immediately on the defensive trying to prove you are not racist not taking the time to understand you can't prove a negative. To call someone a racist is like spraying them with indelible ink. The big fear among liberals is that the Blacks may get jobs and be less dependent on government. In far to many situations the Black family has been hurt and the Black incentive to succeed has been thwarted by victimization. It is as though they are not capable of caring for themselves. It is as Bush said the soft bigotry of low expectations.
