Star Parker opines that black people vote for Democrats because they need each other - for some reason, despite being one of the poorest subgroups of any stripe in America, black people are the invariant recipients of handouts that guarantee the hardest decision they have to make in life is Navigator or Escalade.
What got me, though, was this part:
Blacks, in fact, have the highest church attendance in the country. Seventy-six percent of black Democrats attend church at least monthly. Sixty-seven perce nt of Republicans do and 50 percent of white Democrats do.
A recent Gallup poll shows blacks more aligned with Republicans than Democrats on social issues—moral acceptability of homosexuality, abortion, and sexual promiscuity.
Earlier this year, Parker wrote on the disproportionately high abortion rate in the black community, making the predictable accusations of genocide on the part of Margaret Sanger’s shameful, shambling corpse. So we’re asked to believe two things: the first is that black people not only hate abortion, but they probably hate it more than good, Christian white people do. The second is that black women, because they’re dependent on Democrats to give them money and that drizzank, go out and have abortions like crazy anyway.
The basic economic theory of black dependence on the Democratic Party as laid out by Star Parker doesn’t help to resolve this puzzling riddle of a quandary, either:
So where’s the common ground? Income redistribution. A recent Zogby poll shows 80 percent of Democrats, 90 percent of liberals, and 76 percent of blacks supporting taxing the weal thy to give money back to low-income Americans.
Despite everything else, blacks vote to stay on the liberal plantation. Pop psychologists would call the relationship between wealthy liberals and blacks co-dependence.
Now, the major way that “wealthy liberals” redistribute money to low-income blacks, per popular conservative mythology, is through welfare. Welfare benefits increase with the number of babies you have. So, the real question becomes - if the major determinant of political behavior in the black community is getting that cash money, then why would you abort 18 years of guaranteed government gwap? It’s almost like a collection of poorly thought-out rationalizations of behavior based on a narrow and contradictory worldview can’t stand up to even the most remote scrutiny! What’s actually going on here, then?
