Why can't one agree with certain people on both sides of the argument and not be considered a racist?

She's right in what she says, the Democrats do very little to help and improve the black communities in the US (this isn't to say the Republicans are much better). The Democrats need the 'black vote' (kinda hate that term) or they wont have a chance. If i was a black person living in the US today i wouldn't vote for either party, real change is needed, and it must be utterly disheartening voting for a party that delivers on so little.

Why don't try debating those points then, and ignore the bits you don't like?

That last paragraph has grains of truth in it, but its far more complicated than that, and shows a lack of understanding of how politics and budgets work in the US. For example, the republicans held the senate and the house for 7 of the 8 years Obama was president, and refused to work with him on anything that was a democratic policy. In the one year he had the senate, he got healthcare for people.
