The DOJ is coming out saying Blacks don't know how to vote unless there is a big "D" next to a politician's name.

That's an insult to all Blacks in my book. No mention of Hispanics so I guess they know how to vote.
Ok Happy Tex....i give up.

This was an insult to blacks, so i'm gonna vote for Republicans from now on.

I understand, you don't recognize it. That is OK.

Has nothing to do with party lines even though this was directed at Blacks being able to distinguish the Dems on a ballot.

Why single out Blacks as being unable to properly vote unless the party affiliation was next to their name ?

What about Hispanics, Asians and other minorities ?

One only needs to find the race threads, and read the comments from the overwhelming majority of Republicans/Conservatives. Why shouldn't i draw reasonable opinions from these posts? It's not just on C-D, but any website discussing the same topics. It's pretty clear who my antagonists are. They don't hide it.
yeah it's a flippant comment. Broad-brushed, no specifics. Who is "they." That's the kind of language used by those whom you claim to be fighting. Be careful, it's all too easy to become exactly that which you claim to detest.

Keep telling yourself that. We got into this mess because a bunch of uneducated people blindly follow Ronald Reagan’s trickle-down theory without recognizing it’s all a lie. Like mindless sheep they vote against their interest then blame America’s money problems on social safety net spending. And let’s not forget almost a decade of conflict with a large group of people demanding & receiving the most generous tax breaks in the history of the country.

See post #80. I am certainly not trying to tell anyone what to think, I am only trying to persuade some, to think.

Nah, because then it'll get personal. "They" know who they are. I'm not naming the posters because you already know who they are too. They aren't in the minority on the conservative side.

Whats next? Will men start dictating to women how they should experience childbirth?
Black people are ALWAYS citing some injustice or inequality.

Man, you really have to bone up on your spelling.
