The foundation of the democratic support by black people is a combination of the democratic party convincing black people that they cant make it without government assistance and black people feeling like they cant make it without government assistance. This is why black people are loyal to the democratic party.... it has nothing to do with any principle belief....... theyve been manipulated into thinking the deck is stacked against them and that they cant make it without father government. There was a time when black people collectively were strong, hard working, family oriented, and religious...... that's a far cry from the abortion supporting, anti religious, freedom hating, race baiting democratic party of today.
