Generally speaking, blacks tend to believe in big government, not so much in self reliance.

Actually, it has been my experience that, speaking generally, they like being self-reliant through having a government job, and the reason they like government jobs is their chances of actually getting the raises and promotions they earn are greater.

Whether it's true or not, I have no idea. But that certainly seems, as a general rule, to be their perception.

For generations the only hope of fairness and advancement for Americans who are Black (I hate the term "African-Americans") was through the Military/Government employment.

This doesn't fly today but old habits are hard to break.

While there may be some divide, I bet you could subtitute the word Obama with Democrats and the results would be similar.
