And the new generation of black voters are more proned to register as Independents than Democrats (myself included).

I listen to C-SPAN in the morning and I notice more and more black people calling in for support of Bush's policies, especially when it comes to abortion and gay marriage.

I don't think blacks are going to continue down the path of just voting for a party because it claims to be for them. They are going to want to see actions that prove the rhetoric. It's unfortunate when any party just assumes one block of people have their vote, and it's just as unfortunate when a block of people just give away their vote and get nothing in return.
