However, African Americans tend to be one of the most conservative voting blocs. This is contradictory because democrats support more liberal issues. ]]> 2021-05-19 12:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/obrienk6/w57lezrt1ysco8sk/wish/1539288085 obrienk6 https://padlet.com/obrienk6/w57lezrt1ysco8sk/wish/1539559343 People don't like to talk about racism in America because they feel like THEY are personally being called racist.
