Pretty impressive poll result.
You see, there is a reason for this. The black community is finally beginning to split between the head up there arse population whose leaders are Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the like who actually BENEFIT from a conintual opression of the race and those who realized that in America the playing field is level enough that if you work hard enough and persevere you will be able to succeed.
Articles like this, who wish to portray the downtrodden black man as a hopeless simpleton who will see a gun and will immediately take to a life of crime is actually rascist in my eyes. Liberals and leaders of the tradionational black movement (ie Jackson and sharpton - Not MLK) prefer to keep them down and have blacks fulfill this self fulfilling prophecy and addiction to government control.
Finally though, slowly...ever slowly but surely the black community is starting to figure it out. Of course the ones that do, who pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and succeed are too often called Uncle Toms and sellouts, but their the ones opposed to the death tax and redistribution of wealth because the first segment of black millionaires are retiring and they are being replaced by many more. It would be even greater if more blacks just realized that America is not "out to keep them down" but rather the liberals in congress who need them to be disenfranchised are. Its always great campaign fodder when you can blame someone else for your problems. And liberals have been using the boogeyman of inequality and rascism for decades passed when it was an actually incumberance.
