Some will argue that blacks are being practical and class conscious and rather pessimistic about their position vis à vis the rest of American society.Well of course, things like welfare, affirmative action, disparate impact and the like are useful to Blacks. Why support a party that opposes such things? For whatever reason (though there are some hypotheses), liberals, unlike most human groups in the world, are less apt to be group conscious and look out for their own interests. Ultimately for the human species this is a good thing, but it explains the massive conflict in American politics, against those who want to spread spoils of civilization to everyone (liberals) and those who want to look out for the good of their own group (White Republicans). |
