You ever try to punch someone with an open and and your fingers all spread apart? Usually you break your fingers. Now close your hand and put all your fingers together, what happens? You break whatever you are punching. Get it?



Black folks don't care if black folks want to be in the Republican Party. Colin Powell or Condi Rice can go anywhere in the black community and they will be treated with respect and admiration by 99.999% of black folks who recognize their achievements and intelligence. Hell I hear that Clarence Thomas even gets a bye at the barber shop. But when you start being a tool for folks who don't have your interest at heart don't expect folks to sit with their hands in their lap.

Speaking of Condi Rice and Colin Powell, what kind of treatment did they receive from teabagging Republicans when they crossed the political rubicon? Hell, ya'll looking for the nearest tree to hang up poor ole Marsh Roberts for his recent decision on the Affordable Healthcare Act.

Talk about walking off the plantation.



Not if they have a lick of sense.



Its is truly amazing how franking out of touch white reactionaries are.

Let you folks tell it:

1.5 million African American don't hold advanced degrees

82% of African Americans don't have high school diplomas or higher.

1.7 million more African Americans don't attend college than in 1990

72.6% of African Americans DON'T live in poverty.

So, I'm dying to know who all these black folk are who are living on handouts.

(by the way, black voter turnout is lowest amongst those who do live in poverty).




Until they cross massa, even after they take a bullet for him. See Colin Powell. See Colin Powell UN WMD.


Actually, when I think about Colin Powell is the closest thing to Harriet Beecher Stowe's characterization of Uncle Tom; the obedient servant who gave 35 years of tireless service to his nation, stood before the world and claimed that we were justified for going to war with Iraq based upon dubious intelligence at best but when it came time to beat up on another black man was, in this case, verbally lynched.

You Republicans have a strange definition of what independent thinking means.
You voted for skin color , not character. So lets be honest. You didn't care if Obama hung with anti-american activists.. you have so much hate and resentment it is unbelievable.. stay your sad self.

Alan Grayson was crazy,lazy,sorry piece of lawyer s%!t

It is pretty obvious who the real bigots are, and always have been, and it is not the conservatives.

The biggest reason that would cause blacks to leave the Democratic party is if the Democratic party became infested with conservatives... Reminder blacks were once Republicans before the red necks moved in...

You're not getting the sarcasm. Re-read the post. What he meant was that in fact 82% of African Americans DO HAVE high school diplomas or higher. The fact that you're not "getting it" is very telling of what appears to be bias.

Very true, but when bad means good, sick means great,
and transparency means sealed records, communication
is no longer simple.
