[quote=Anonymous]Per the question about liberal vs. conservative and North vs. South - the easiest answer is that the United States is racist. It was founded on racism and reared on racism. Our early economy was built on chattel slavery, and a large swathe of the United States fought a bloody war in order to preserve their right to keep their fellow humans in bondage. When slavery fell, it was replaced by Jim Crow and by national-level policies (in the North and South) that kept Black Americans from basically all of the drivers of middle class achievement (GI Bill, low-interest housing loans, Social Security). There is no non-racist America and no America without the original sin of slavery. With that said, African Americans vote overwhelmingly Democratic because that is the lesser of the two evils, not because the Democrats are a shining beacon of racial tolerance. [/quote]
