| 111. You're missing the point. |

You know why black people don't vote Republican? First, cause Republicans don't do shit for them, and second, because of the obvious fucking distain that most Republicans hold for black people. Now, as yourself the same question about why poor white rednecks don't vote Dem. It's the same answers, innit?
It's not about white people being oppressed, it's about understanding why we persist in alienating a big chunk of the country.
