Flame » in reply to Re: "Urban voting districts"

Oh, wait, I get it.

If a low-rent Philadelphia voting district delivers 100 percent of the vote for Obama, it's somehow "racist" to infer that maybe these precincts contain a large number of black people. After all, inner-city Philadelphia was normally populated by Norwegians.

Something like "all businessmen are Republicans" and "all Republicans are old white men."

In point of fact, I looked up some information when conservatives were raising dark thoughts of conspiracy on these results. Yes, these districts are almost exclusively black, and yes, in what a Stanford professor calls "dense urban corridors," a 100 percent Democratic response is not unknown with no fraud in sight. There were also districts like this in Chicago and Atlanta in 2008.

Democrats live for the day when all voters are like this, and will continue to re-engineer society to produce it.
