Okay, not exactly 90%. Only 89% of the black constituency voted for a demeaning John Kerry in 04. We'll give 'em 1% in the name of shocking progressivism.
The American black (I can't even fake calling em African Americans) voted for a man who undefines them at every level. A privledged, awkward, lying shyster who humped his way into wealth and insinuated himself into power on the backs of men more brave than he would ever be by belittling them. They chose a joke. At least 89% of them did.
What does this mean, sociologically?
I thought of this as I woke up this morning. It came to me. The black voting demographic chose John Kerry 9 to 1 because of 1)Tribalism and 2)Voodoo.
That's right. It wasn't an expression of real voting as it was nativism.
African societies were based on social collectives. Everything was for the tribe. They ate together, played together, slept together ... for survival. There was no outcast. To be an outcast meant you were dead, literally. Separatism could not exist. To be separate meant your death.
In fact, independent thought was a European trait. It was foreign to the African ideal. Tribalism was built on consensus, sharing resources. Europe prided herself on individualism, but being an individual in an African tribe meant not just isolation but death. It is the product of an advanced civilization that can produce the idea that you can live alone and be self sufficient. It is the product of a tribal society that says just the opposite, because technologically it just wasn't possible. You could not survive on your own. You stayed in packs in order to see another day.
I think its still playing out on some level. At least my theory holds water in 89% of the cases.
90% is an insanely tight knit group. If they are on your side it is a politician's wet dream. Its like slavery. You have mental robots. People who do not have independent thought. In fact, people who scorn independent thought. The voodoo is used to keep the 90% bound up and in line just like natives used curses and hexes to retain the group's solidity and rid itself of the threat of the loner.
And it only got worse here during segregation. Segregation was imposed upon the American black after the Civil War starting with the JC laws. But not anymore. What's interesting is that segregation is now voluntary. Culturally, today's segregation is volitional. Look at the voting trends, look at that number, that big fat 90% and ask yourself if that is not an expression of willful segregationist pullback? A people who have chosen to withdraw themselves from criticism and take the easy way out by electing con men who promise the me-first-gimme-gimmes? 90% who choose socialism(collectivism) in order to lock-in freebies and bennies and assume no personal responsibility.
Personal responsibility CANNOT exist in the tribal. There is no such thing as 'personal'. And when there is nothing ever personal, there is no such thing either as 'responsible'. The group takes over. And inside the group, there is no demand for excellence. There is only acceptance for what is.
Will the American black response ever evolve from an old world nativistic to a new world individual one? Probably not for awhile. The American black still thinks collectively. The American black has still chosen to think racially, that if they 'divide' their vote due to conscience they will lose their power as it fractions off. They are right, but what they fail to understand is that it doesn't matter. They are already in a political mess.
They have chosen to be a political separatist partially out of rebellion and partly out of a hand-me-down world view that goes all the way back to Africa. The individuals are there, but they are castigated for not staying in THE GROUP. They are disavowed. They are cast out of the tribe.
