I will grant you a win on your point about "cop beating the crap out of white person." You win one out of 3, not a very good percentage.

I suggest that they change their name to "nacelaa" The National Association for Continued Enslavement for Liberal African Americans.

That is much, much closer to the truth.

The second bold is a straw man argument. You are making that claim as if there arent issues that the 2 parties completely disagree on .
Is there any issue the NAACP disagrees with Dem party on?

The whole racism in mortgage thing is a scam. Blacks have traditionally had double the default rates, worse credit and fewer assets. Thus on average few were good credit risks. Mandating more access simply meant lowering underwriting rules with predictable results. The bankers tried to accommodate the public diktats of both Democrats and Republicans by reducing the inherent risk of making more loans to dubious borrowers and their thanks for it? Racism charges! Darned if you do, darned if you don't.

Interesting that you noticed that. She looked beautiful to me, too. And she remained professional and composed in the face of irrational public criticism. That woman (Deneen Borelli) embodies the attributes others should strive to achieve, regardless of race!

That is by design...

Truth out.

Becoming largely Democrat/liberal ideologically has had it's strengths and weaknesses, but at this point, I think it is the problem.
Exactly. Thank you for your honesty.

In bigger cities, the high schools as well as the elementary schools are based around the communities, so the segregation continues up the latter and doesnt stop at the elementary level like in small southern towns.

Thats not honestly, that is an opinion.

What does conservative ideology have to do with marriage, do liberals not get married ????

Again, back up your argument, to this point all the conservatives on this sight have done is spout an ideology.
