If you don't want to be anaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews, you have to say that just because a person is black doesn't mean that he is a Democrat. In the real world of politics, liberals devote their money and effort to getting out the black vote, because it means getting out the Democratic vote. In the ensuing media fury against Rollins, I discovered that walking around money is not to be criticized. It is a bulwark of democracy. Liberals insist that it is evil, racist, and unfair to say that, just because someone is black, they are presumed to be a Democrat.
All Democratic strategists devote enormous resources to that exact proposition.
Well, first of all, no reporter would make a fool of himself that way. But there is not just a swing vote. It might be a rallying-point to get more of those who marched into Columbia to march into the voting booth. This may be a valid concern, because the Confederate flag issue is the ONLY issue the black leadership has. Black Americans have an ever-increasing load of real, desperately serious problems, drugs, illegitimacy, families collapsing, and all the rest.
