If you want a good laugh....

So wait, did someone seriously deny that blacks at the moment tend to favor Democrats by at least an 80% margin, numbers that are backed up by statistics?

HAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHHA

Well before I go to work I, I guess I should comment very quickly (ugh, not enough time in the world!) about a particularly interesting observation made by the user "taxed".  His observation, as a direct challenge to JRP, is that he had lived all of his life in Georgia and that from he can tell Georgians aren't coming anywhere near close to being more Democratic.  This really, really says it all about a lot of conservative bias, in that they rarely see the rest of the world outside their own immediate environs.  This guy seems to be one of those who hasn't been to Atlanta in YEARS, if not DECADES, and probably lives in a Southern suburb where the electorate tends to skew overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly Republican.  I can tell you, from living in one of those places, it's like an icebreaker for someone to say "man, those Democrats could've really used a good Economics degree" or something.  Which might explain some of the disbelief to the actual results, as it flies in the face of most everything they believe and what 70% of everyone around them believe.
I can imagine that some people in Vermont probably thought similarly when someone told them the state was trending Democratic in 1980.  "This state has been Republican since Lincoln!  Quit smoking your dope!  This isn't Arkansas!"
Though to be fair, I think that a lot of red avatars and Democrats might sometimes fall into this same category.  Bias is kind of a two way street.  On here, however, current political realities tend to be taken on factual basis and as they happen.  I can't imagine ANYBODY, except maybe a troll or two, seriously denying that Atlanta is a Democratic city.

Alright, see ya!

Not to the same extent though, that's a false equivalence. Those guys on the conservative forum might as well live in a completely different world. Their Kool-Aid is spiked with lead paint. Even when you show them the numbers they call you an idiot and say you don't know what you're talking about.

Granted.  I even acknowledged that right after I said this quoted part.  Literally.

But with that small nitpick aside, these people are pretty goofy.  It is pretty amazing that some people think that blacks are voting more than 18% REpublican, after all.
