The San Francisco-based Bay Area Center for Voting Research has come up with a list of the most liberal and most conservative cities in the nation. The numbers show that for the most part, cities with large black populations are usually more liberal than conservative.
Here are the top 10 liberal cities: Detroit; Gary, Ind.; Berkeley, Calif.; Washington, D.C.; Oakland, Calif.; Inglewood, Calif.; Newark, N.J.; Cambridge, Mass.; San Francisco; Flint, Mich.The folks who pieced together the study appear to be very surprised by the corrolation between liberalism and race. I don't understand why -- then again, I see that issue daily. Many folks can't see the corrolation, at least until black conservatives are painted as tyrants and Nazis as we were this past weekend.

Try harder and look for the link between "liberalism" and class.
