The WaPo on Racial Politics

There's an interesting article in the Washington Post today about what the Post calls surprising results shown by the exit polls in the Georgia governor's race.  It seems that the Post is mystified by the results that showed that 11% of black men voted for the GOP candidate Kemp over the Democrat candidate Abrams who happens to be black.  The Post just doesn't understand how 11% of black men could vote for the GOP since it is a white supremacist party. 

It's truly an amazing article.  First of all, the Post's article is totally racist.  It assumes that blacks will all vote for a black Democrat rather than decide for themselves who is the better candidate.  In the world of the WaPo, African Americans vote only on race.

Second, the article just says that the GOP is a white supremacist party.  (It's not.)  The Post just spouts the Democrat talking point that blacks will suffer under the GOP.  Apparently, though, many men in Georgia recognized that all time low black unemployment under the GOP is something worth supporting.  These are men who value what the parties actually accomplish rather than just what they say.
