^ Pretty sure those are Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods. I think the dark blue one is Boro/Borough Park. I would recommend reading about it on Wikipedia if you're curious.

I think the southernmost part of Brooklyn might be more like Staten Island--working class whites, probably mostly of Italian and Irish ancestry. But I'm not positive on that.

Basically, these are areas that aren't going to like a black guy named Hussein. Wink

I think this map is worth reposting now:


Green=White
Blue=Black
Red=Hispanic
Yellow=Asian
White=No majority

To verify or dispel any suspicions

NYC Mayor, Dem Primary, 2005. Ferrar in red, Weiner in blue, Fields in green



It looks like Weiner won some of the blacker parts of Brooklyn, though everything else seems to break down along racial lines.

Only because there are Jews in those areas as well.

It looks like he won >90% black areas, though...

Why wouldn't Weiner be huge amongst blacks?

Because he's Jewish.

Franken had no problem winning the black parts of the Twin Cities (in both the primary and general).

Uh, Norm Coleman isn't a black Democrat.

This is such an incredibly stupid comparison that I just want to slap you across the face right now. Seriously.
