“Broad racial solidarity is another possible explanation for why blacks have remained so bullish on Obama despite his economic record. A black member of Congress told political scientist Carol Swain that “one of the advantages, and disadvantages, of representing blacks is their shameless loyalty . . .

In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.”
