And no i happen to live in a area, where everyone and everbody gets along, and we watch out for everyon's children, infact even celebrating the children on the Street birthday, with a block party. whether we know the children or not. But i do know black republicans bet me i don't, and i would win the bet.

But what you say is definitely not entirely true, because yes i do know a couple of black people who voted for McCain, i really do, not lying. They were Men. And sorry to burst that bubble, but the majority of black friends i have are registered republicians. Just the way it is, as far as i can tell, it is their right to be in the party of their choice, just as others on this forum are registered to the party of their choosing.
Does not make any one person right or wrong, because of what party they belong too, i know many people who feel that both party's are the two evils!
They just like to try and convince us that no blacks like Republicans, when the real story is they don't like any black Republicans.

They called him a "sellout" and "uncle tom". He did not become more popular.

And yes...it is obvious that republicans love black slavery.

Curious, though.

Slaveowners were 100% democrats.

Which party tells the African-Americans that they can't achieve anything without government assistance because they aren't good enough to succeed without it?

Sorry to burst your bubble but Cosby did become popular once again due to his comments. Only a small minority of blacks called him a "sellout" and "uncle tom" the majority of us supported and agreed with what he said and love him. He has never been unpopular with black people and the large majority of black people still view him positively.

Since I am black, I listen to black media - talk radio and such and he is a frequent guest promoting his books and comedy and black people call in and give him all sorts of love.

The fact that you don't know this shows you don't know much about black people.

On Obama, black people will still support him. Even if they don't they won't vote for Romney. They will more than likely not vote at all. But I don't believe that most black people will stay home over this one reason. Most black people I know are not single issue focused, if that were the case, many would not consistently vote democratic anyway.

That would be the republicans. I think you'll recall Newt Gingrich saying that black children should become janitors because their communities have no work ethic, and that black people should learn to demand paychecks instead of being satisfied with food stamps. And then there are guys like Herman Cain or Allen West, insisting that most black people are brainwashed or on a plantation. Or, you could look to guys like Donald Trump or Rush Limbaugh, who insist that successful black people didn't really deserve to get where they are, via Affermative Action.

and that black people should learn to demand paychecks instead of being satisfied with food stamps. best Self Help advice ever spoken

And then there are guys like Herman Cain or Allen West, insisting that most black people are brainwashed or on a plantation. Truth is a bitter pill to swallow

Or, you could look to guys like Donald Trump or Rush Limbaugh, who insist that successful black people didn't really deserve to get where they are, via Affermative Action. They didn't if affirmative action was involved
All true words.

I am no fan of Gingrich, but to me the way the left jumped all over him for those comments speaks volumes. Newt was basically saying that handouts are detrimental, while a hand up is beneficial. That's true whether you're black, white, or cyan of course, but libs are especially focused on directing handouts towards black people, hence Newt's comments were understandable.

Gingrich is not the racist here; the racists are those who believe that blacks are inferior and incapable to the point that they can't survive without a handout. Who are "those?" Why, it would be liberal Democrats.

I do believe you nailed it!
