(2,237 posts)Sensible people support those who abuse and demonize them! If you don't support politicians who blame people like you for the cause of all of society's problems then you're just being delusional! After all... don't like you want to pay a couple hundred bucks less in taxes!
Blacks used to be sensible 150+ years ago when they just went with the flow and allowed themselves to be slaves and let others get rich off their hard labor.
