That doesn't make logical sense to me.  I see the opposite happening as more 'people of color' recognize that the Kool Aid does nothing to enable upward mobility, that it fosters economic stagnation rather than vitality & opportunity.

There is an inexhaustible supply.  And the democrats are serving.  They are the party of Nathan Bedford Forrest, and Robert "Grand Kleagle" Byrd.
