2. Same with Michael Steele when he ran against Cardin in Maryland

*After* Cardin had defeated Kwasi Mfume in the primary.

But, then of course, Cardin won the nomination fairly. No telling what would have happened otherwise.

4. You mean they didn't just mindlessly pull the lever for him because he is black?

What kind of black people are they?

8. The most relaible democratic voting block, that due to segregation many districts go D only with

substantial straight D voting in African American districts.

HRC's older white female block is dispersed. If they stay home or vote McCain the effect will be dispersed.

7. The funniest part about the current Hillarian claims that they "will not be taken for granted"

Edited on Wed May-21-08 08:14 AM by alcibiades_mystery

Is the the Democratic Party has taken the black vote for granted for the better part of 40 years. Where else are they gonna go, ya know? And so Bill Clinton can have his "Sistah Soljah" moment to put the black radicals in line, and nobody blinks, because where else are they gonna go, yo? And so the conditions of black urban American can deteriorate and then deteriorate again for 30 years, so we can wage a "war on drugs" that disproportionately affects black youth (or, as Tupac says, "'stead of a war on poverty, ya got a war on drugs so the police can bother me...", and we can raise the conservative disdain for African American self-recognition to a fucking value of enlightened Democrats. Hell, posters on these very boards running around arguing that rap isn't even music, and say so with a smile. They will be the laughingstock of history, of course, like the people who thought Coltrane was shit, but they certainly speak to our present condition.

But the minute the script gets flipped, and any one white demographic feels "taken for granted," it's a different story, now init? Then it's all Green Party and "withholding votes" and other nonsenses. I often think that African American voters are the most serious people in this country, surrounded in a Democratic Party filled with a bunch selfish clowns.

"And still I see no changes. Can't a brother get a little peace?
There's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East.
Instead of war on poverty,
they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me..."

-Tupac Shakur, Changes
