Good News For The Polity

Democrats are worried about the rift between Jewish and African-American voters, as represented by this past week’s primaries, as demogogues Cynthia McKinney and Earl Hilliard lost, at least in part due to their ridiculous pro-Palestinian views.

Good. Anything that breaks up the irrational stranglehold of the Democrats on any ethnic categories is a good thing. If only the black vote could become competitive as well.

In my opinion, here are the money grafs:

“It puts black voters in a bind because you could end up with some people in the Congress who are black but who don’t represent the broad mainstream views of the black community,” says Ronald Walters, director of the African American Leadership Institute at the University of Maryland, College Park.

And there is another major difference in how black and Jewish members view the involvement of pro-Israel groups in the two primary battles.

“The black community sees this as a racial issue,” Wynn said. “The white Jewish community sees it as an ideological, foreign-policy issue.”

The black mainstream views favor terrorism?

Is there any issue that the black community doesn’t see as a racial issue? If so, they have a long way to go to political maturity.
