How many nearly-poor blacks went totally bankrupt and lost homes to foreclosure do to the Dems attempt to let even totally unqualified borrowers (which were mostly minorities) take out a loan to just profit the greedy corrupt bankers they were politically beholden to. Barney Frank is on record as saying that it is "racist" to ask someone how much money they make.

And Dem Chris Dodd made out big time $$$ as a "Friend of Anthony" member who encouraged those corrupted loans that preyed on minorities with Countrywide that wiped out many blacks financially.

And the best MSNBC can come up with for a black commentator is Al Sharpton????
Sorry, but none of the above sounds like Dems with "high regard" for blacks.
Throwing a bunch of Right-wing talking points together does not an coherent argument make.

Well I was listening to talk radio today and a black Dem trucker called in to say how angry he was at the President for vetoing the Keystone Pipeline, that it was affecting the price of fuel, which is tied directly to his living. Also noted that everything transported by trucks is more expensive, food, clothing etc. He said he would not vote for Obama again.

So how did that work for ole Herm?

I'm always amused how Republicans try to point out the handful of Republicans elected officials, by the way, Herman has never been elected to anything while on the other hand African Americans can point to thousands of African American Democrats who have achieved elected office.
Wow, that's a lot of folks. Do you have any proof of this? How many African American Republicans have been elected to office, just off the top of your head, cause I'm sure that's where you got that other piece of information?

The simple fact is, Newt Gingrich brought his campaign from near-death to win the SC primary and lead in Florida by:

Calling Obama a "food stamp president";
Saying that the NAACP needs him to lecture them on how they should "demand paychecks" and shouldn't "be satisfied with food stamps";
saying that poor black kids should work as janitors because they "have no work ethic";
Showed up with fellow racist Donald Trump to repeat that assertion;
and saying that Juan Williams "doesn't understand work", and grinned when some woman thanked him for putting Juan Williams "in his place".

Remember when Obama called small-town white people "bitter", and everyone freaked out, and he apologized for it? This is a thousand times worse than that, and instead of backing off, they just keep pushing their hatred into our faces. If they actually wanted black people to vote for them, they wouldn't do this.

And no, the face of the democratic party isn't the unemployed, uneducated black person, it's a specific, highly educated, hard-working black man, his wife, and their two daughters.

And their little dog, too.

What, like those guys from Star Trek? No, he seems to be the same color all over. Now, his *mother* was white, but in the US, he's black.

I love how people suddenly decided that Barack Obama, and *only* Barack Obama, has to be seen as half-black, as soon as he started beating Hillary. Everyone else with white and black ancestors? No, we're still black.

Yep, you're right. You DO own it. Your track record is hideous. The next question is....can you explain to us how and why you let these cities rot from the inside out under your "earned" leadership?

LOL.....You forgot to add the WHOLE STATE OF CALIFORNIA!

isnt california the tech hub, and what about Chicago,New yorK, Conneticut.

oh and hows unemployment in South Carolina,Florida,Alabama and Missisipi.
you see what rural red state of america is degenerating into meth use and high teen pregnancy.

The only reason Texas is doing ok is because of the price of oil,all the other states.that have oil and gas are doing better.
