"African-American Conservative Republican"

Isn't it the epitome of irony that the Wingers are playing the race card RE condi over and over again, and nobody here does?

I can't vouch for the cretins who play that bullshit "Uncle Tom" card, but that's how I see it.

Gross incompetence knows no racial or ethnic barriers.

1. More Like Endangered Species

I could see why some socially conservative Afro-Americans could be persuaded that many in the Democratic Party do not share their social views, but after three plus years of this administration and nearly a decade of the Far Right in control of the House of Representatives, I wonder if perhaps even these folk might be concerned that the Republican Party isn't looking after their economic interests or doing enough to combat racism.

What's in it for me? is a question many of us have regarding politics. Perhaps Afro-Americans affiliated with the GOP are now wondering about the returns for their dalliance.

3. Former Oklahoma Congressman J.C. Watts' (R) father said a black

man supporting the Republicans is like a chicken supporting Col.Sanders.

J.C.Watts is an African American.

They can't be white on the outside so they're white on the inside, and they sell their own people down the river.

6. Wow

So all of us darkies have to b'lieve 'ZACTLY as you t'ink we mus'?

Not likely massah. We 'uns have dis t'ing called "freedom."

Sarcasm only sort of off.

I am sick of the race test for political belief. No, all whites don't vote or think or believe the same way. Guess what? The same is true for blacks.
