PERCHANCE A LOOMING DILEMMA FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY??

I'm not sure what was meant to be accomplished by the release of a recent poll that shows for the second straight week, that Barry "Almighty’s" job approval has dropped to a new low among blacks, but none the less it's out there. This poll by the way, comes to us via Gallup. According to this poll, in the week that ended on October 16, Barry's approval was sitting at 79 percent among blacks. That was down from the previous low of 80 percent in the week that ended on October 9. In the week that ended on October 2, Barry’s approval among blacks had been 85 percent. Barry’s highest approval among blacks was 96 percent, a level he achieved in five different weeks back in 2009. But what is even more revealing is the fact that 79 percent of blacks still support Barry, because that remains a very significant number. Despite the fact that Barry has succeeded in only making things worse, blacks continue to stick with him.

But really, when looked at in the big scheme of things, whatever the percent of support is at this time, really matters very little. It wouldn't matter even if Barry was sitting there with a 10 percent approval among blacks. Here's why. Those who make up the black community are the only group in this entire country who, as they are bussed off to the polls, base who it is that they vote for solely on the matter of race. They're the only ones who can get away with such a thing. If I was to say my reason for voting for a specific candidate for no other reason that because he, or she, is white, I'd be called a racist. But not so if you're black and voting for a black candidate for no other reason that because he, or she, is black. That's seen as being perfectly acceptable, even expected. So blacks are permitted to be racist in the voting preferences and that's just fine, but that voting methodology extends to no one else.


But this coming election has the potential to put the black community in a bit of a quandary. I've heard it said, but have seen much evidence to the contrary, that blacks are generally conservative folks by nature, being regular church goers and all. But yet, they are one of the most, if not "the" most, reliable voting block for liberal Democrats. Having said that, there is a chance, however remote, that the conservative black man currently running for president could be the Republican nominee. That event could lay the ground work for what would prove to be an excellent litmus test for proving the theory that blacks tend to be conservative in nature. If the blacks were presented with a choice between a black candidate who is truly conservative running against a black candidate who is nothing if not a rabid socialist, for whom would they decide to vote?


Now we all know with a great deal of certainty who it is that the Al Sharptons, the Jesse Jacksons and the Jeremiah Wrights of the black community would very enthusiastically vote for. But what of those in the black community who are now forced to live out their meager lives surviving on the scraps provided to them by the Democrat Party. Suppose just for a second, such a thing were actually to take place, that a black conservative would be presented with the opportunity to be elected president. Might there be someone in the black community who would then be willing to take that first step in the convincing of as many others as possible that to vote for such a candidate is an opportunity too important to simply let go by? Would there even be enough of those who would be willing to listen? Now that would be a decision that could prove to be quite enlightening.
