Interesting numbers came out in the sunshine and are taking a little walk.

Blacks voted at a higher rate this year than other minority groups and for the first time in history may also have voted at a higher rate than whites, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of census data, election day exit poll data and vote totals from selected cities and counties.

As for whites, not only has their share of the eligible electorate been falling for decades, but their turnout rate appears to have declined in 2012 for the second presidential election in row.

Now I’m here to tell you that the white boys ain’t gonna take this news easy.  They can fool themselves into thinking that blacks won’t turn out in a high rate again if a black man doesn’t top the ticket.  I have some scary words for them:  Cory Booker.  Julián Castro.  Hillary Clinton.

Blacks in America have seen their power and it is good.  I think blacks are here to stay — in the voting booth.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
