Oh yeah, I take back what I said about thanking the Black Folk...
at least 10% of my people voted for *. Not for Nat'l security, Iraq, Economy, Education, Health Care, Civil Rights, Jobs...



FUCKIN MORALITY!

They think * is fit to lead us in MORALITY.


They let me down. The Fuckin Idiots. They are no better than the racist muther fuckers that have and are enslaving us.

Dear Black Folk. You really disappoint me. I thought you'd remember the struggle in the 1960s. The people we fought against then who used the bible to call us animals are the same FUCKERS you voted for yesterday. You're just TOO DUMB ASS to see it.

So EFF YOU! I'm leavin this joint and you can stay over here and continue be enslaved. I will not BE A SLAVE. I will not let you ENSLAVE ME with your IGNORANCE. Me & Minz are pickin the fuck up and leaving you to your pitiful existence!

2. I'm disappointed that almost 20% Af. Americans voted against the party
that passed the Civil Rights Act. The Repubs fought it vociferously. But the Dems got it passed.

Thanks a lot. Don't expect too much help from the Dems. when the Bush admin. makes gains in banning aff. action.

4. whoa....
dems come in all colors, this is just offensive, it suggests white dems are "using" minorities and because a much smaller percentage of blacks than whites voted republican white dems have some right to be indignant.

8. Oh, I'm pissed at the white ones, too. The youth that didn't turn out.
The working women who voted against their own interests. You name it.

Thing is...there are more Dems than Repubs in the country. If they had shown up, and if they had voted with their party, we would have won. It's as simple as that.

You bet I'm pissed. And that includes pissed at the African Americans who voted against us, after all the times I've stood up for their causes. The right to vote? Guess they don't remember that it was southern and northern white conservatives that kept them from voting even after they legally got the vote.

You bet I'm pissed. And there's nothing discriminatory about saying so. (Of course I'm not pissed at the 84% that voted FOR Kerry.)

12. "they owe it to us", is that what you are saying?
I personally think we will never know the real outcome because of election fraud due to computerized voting, which when contrasted with the numbers exit polls predicted, was probably massive.

If I remember correctly, one of the goals of the civil rights movement was to give Blacks the right to vote, NOT the right to vote democratic.

20. The point is that it's against their interests. Look, I'm a white, single
woman. I do okay financially, but many single women do not. It is against their economic interests to vote for *, yet many did in the south. I'm pissed at them for doing that. They have the right to vote for whoever they want, but that doesn't mean that I have to be "okay" with such a stupid vote.

I feel the same way about Af. Americans. I'm old enough to remember pre-integration, pre-affirmative action. Let me tell you, the main reason you don't see more discrimination in the work place is that there is the fear of the federal government hanging over them. Take that away, and things will revert back to the way they were years ago, IMO. Particularly in the south. Af. Americans think Repubs are their friends? Think again. The religious white conservative thinks that it is against God for races to intermarry (it says so in the Bible, they say). The Repubs throughout the entire modern history - no exceptions - have fought every bill that sought to expand or enforce any sort of rights for minorities. This is a basic philosophy that will not go away. Young Af. Americans may not know this. But they will find out.

For all the times the Dems have put themselves on the line speaking out on behalf of Af. Americans, you're damn right. I expect that at the least they would do the same for the party that did that. When Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act, he said, "There goes the south." He meant that the south had been strongly democratic, and he knew that by signing that bill, the white south would bolt. And they did. But he signed it anyway. It was the right thing to do, even though it was against his and his party's interest. You're damn right that I expect Af. Americans to remember that.

Anyone who thinks the white south is Republican because of economic issues is mistaken. It has a lot to do with minorities.

That's fine. They can go to the Repub side, and see what happens. They will no longer have ANY party to stand up for them. They are a special group that has encountered special problems that required special legislative help. And the Dem Party stepped up to the plate and helped.

13. this is one of those perks.
it's one of those side benefits of election fraud.

We tear each other apart, rather than organize and do something about this stolen election.

Deep in my heart, I knew that if they had the capacity to win by cheating that they would NEVER, IN A MILLION YEARS, allow an honest democratic victory.

Our leaders have dropped the ball, because they did not get upset about the difference in exit polling and outcomes 4 years ago. We've had 4 fucking years to do something, anything, about this, and they did nothing, not a damn thing. Voters had to take it upon ourselves to vote absentee paper ballot. Why did they think if repukes cheated once, they won't cheat again.

7. It is a sad day in the African American Community
The 10% to 20% who voted for this man has shown the country and the world how stupid we really are. How sad.

9. Interesting observation I had while working the polls yesterday
There were a lot of young black guys coming in registered as Republicans. There were at least 15 by my count and, to me, that is a high number. What is up with that? I only counted four black women who were registered as Republican. Of course, the overwhelming majority of blacks were registered Dem or Unaffiliated, but I was disgusted with the black males and by the way I'm black.

14. Don't Leave Out............
The Log Cabin Fags........

Each sector of sad self loathers played a part in this election.

... and in the future when anyone whines to me about their rights....

My First Question Will Be: "Did You Vote"?

Second Will Be: "Who Did You Vote For"?

16. how do you think white libs feel?
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 10:22 AM by booley
or Gays? Or the poor?

WE ALL GET SCREWED under a REPUBLICAN adminiitration.

But in each case, the repubs found how to buy a percentage in each group.

For poor whites and blacks, it was MORALITY

For Gay, it was economics and loyalty (and a hefty dose of DENIAL)

Middle class it was FEAR.

In any group, you will find a percentage that will do stupid things. So don't blast the black community (which still overwhelmingly voted against Shrub). They are as human (and therefore prone to doing stupid things) as the rest of us.

17. Minorities in my family vote Republican....
Without Democratic educational programs, from day care to college, they never would have finished school. Now they feel they've made it and want to be with the upperties, high income accepted as whites republicans. They're married to white women and have white children. One problem they have, they feel lonely during the holidays when our families celebrate in our tradition. They feel like outsiders within our own families because they must please their wives.
