Most Southern blacks, at least the ones I've been around, are opposed to gay marriage and abortion, and in general were not fond of Gore or Kerry. They only vote Democratic because of Lyndon Johnson's legacy.
...and maybe that whole "economics" thing.
Not completely. While Democrats are in general better friends of the blacks on the economic side, many blacks support private school vouchers and funding of church-related services. But welfare and social security are black-friendly. I was just talking about social issues though; I have no idea how economics slipped my mind.
