And if you think that he'd stand with the Tea Party, you're delusional. Do you actually think he would've changed parties? Ted didn't.

What kills me is how they know so much about how the black community thinks about this or that....as if we run up to white people and tell them how we hate black Republicans.
What kills me is that the majority of the black community does not see how the Dems use them for their own gains and they cannot see it.

You can only talk to the 2 or 3 black folks you know, plus maybe a little talk radio courtesy of Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, or some other clown, and form an opinion. And that opinion sounds ignorant and uninformed right off the top. If you were to approach a group of black men and spout this stuff, you'd get stared at as if you were an alien and would probably be met with silence. Or told to GTFOH with your nonsense.
You wrote, "I go where you can't".

Are you saying that as an American, there are places in my own country that I can't go?

Will I be killed if I attempted to go there?

The same can be said of those who vote for Republicans and vote against their own interests or the single issue voters who think some Republican president is going to overturn Roe V. Wade. You have no idea what the black community sees and your statement is an insult to the intelligence of the average black voter. The people at the top use people, period. It's not just black people who get used.

Really? And you're really concerned about this, huh?

Well do tell! Please, how is the Democratic Party using this black man who is an Army veteran, with a decent job, decent home, good marriage, college educated son, a few nickels in the bank, and is pretty happy with his otherwise hum-drum life?

I just gotta hear this!

Perhaps others on the inside of this secret society can indeed, teach me despite my existence as an "outsider".

So please, insiders, explain what is going on in that video. Why do the Obama supporters reject Ron Paul out of hand?

The irony...in one post, they accuse people of being racist against black conservatives and in another, they make vast generalizations about the black voting population who they think are too stupid to make an educated decision and you wonder why Republicans are associated with racism...smh.

LMAO...It's telling that you talk about being killed.

What's that...self flattery? Now please tell me, why would we waste time killing you? Who are you that we should feel threatened enough to kill you?

So since you're so given to hyperbole, i'll change my language a bit (to lessen your fear...or ego!), i go places that you WON'T go and have no need to go.

That better?

In other words, i have interaction with my people...intimate interaction. I have an ear to how my people feel on certain issues. Do i or can i speak for all black people? No! Emphatically, no. But at least i'm in the room when the discussions are going on and not making opinions while being the person standing outside of the window looking in.

Not that you don't have a right to your opinions....mind you. You do. They're interesting too. But ultimately, inaccurate and uninformed.

You don't do self-pity well.

Gift of perception?

Perhaps the Paul family opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 might be a good starting point.

So now, you're owed an explanation?

That video is what it is. Take it with a grain of salt, or believe in it to the fullest. Why should i care about how you feel as it pertains to that video? None of us are stupid enough to believe that anything we say would influence you anyway.

If that video has influenced your thinking in a type of way that is negative towards African Americans, then so be it. I see no reason why i should try and make you see it any other way.
