I see you have never been to the south side of Chicago.

Obama lives in the Hyde Park/Kenwood area, which is very diverse. I would guesstimate apprx. 40% black.

Facts don't mean anything to the radical right.

Interesting, indeed.

I'd also be interested in knowing the average ages of the GOP. It seemed that a good portion of the "fans" in the audience at the RNC convention have had gray, white and/or bald heads...
Dude, let me just say that I find your 'bald head' comment offensive. I almost want to have you banned from this forum.

At age 27 my inherited genes of male baldness went into gear. The same genes my uncles and cousins can vouch for. A big ol' round spot where I might otherwise wear a yarmulka and thinning to the front. This is inherited. There's nothing I can do about it.

Thanks much for the insults based on ignorance. Now, go stick yer head back in 'bama's sunshine spot.

That's always been true. They apparently don't care that their party is virtually all white either. What does this say about the racial views of the members of the GOP?

See all you PC nuts? No matter what you say, there's someone whose feelings might be hurt.

(no offense willysb, I'm just pointing out the lunacy of trying to tiptoe around certain groups but plodding all over others).

Either you gotta figure out a way to enact legislation to mandate being nice to everyone about everything, or we have to thicken our skin, all of us, and stop taking everything others say as a personal offront.

(you too, willys. Sorry! Hey, I'm tall and prematurely gray, and I resent the word "Amazon" and insulting references to "highwater" pants, as well as the "gray hair" reference above. But, big deal. This is America.)

(Willys it just occurred to me that your post may be in sarcasm, mocking political correctness--in which case I apologize for being slow on the uptake!)

Actually they do care that it is virtually all white - that is a key component in their 1950's view of the world that they want to return to. A world where women and minorities knew their places - as servants to white men.
