Condi Rice made a good point during an interview before her speech. If you care about minority rights as the Dems claim how could you tolerate the black male unemployment rate being double the national average? Or the sorry state of most schools for the poor many of which that serve Blacks?

There really wasn't much of a chance of winning. State budgets have been hard hit by this recession.


Actually it will force more Black workers to get jobs in the private sector.

In the short term its painful, but in the long term that's not a bad thing.

The game has always been the same for Black Americans. You either step up your game and compete and win or you fall by the wayside.

In your opinion only.

Hey, just like everyone else.

There's your equality.

Sadly he's not alone in this.

The same way she did when she was a member of the Bush Administration.

Our current President and his party have been decimating the middle class, and especially African-Americans from coast to coast for at least THREE decades, with no end in sight.

Did you see that next post to which I responded? The person who thinks that Brown v. Board of Education is the problem with our educational system????? Now, that's not really racist, is it? Suppose they prefer the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896 which allowed state-sponsored segregation.

the "Tea Party" is indeed an extremist movement, which attracts other extremists such as white supremacists from Stormfront, and is financially supported by the Koch brothers, whose father was one of the founders of the John Birch Society....Fred Koch.
Your description of the Tea Party is inaccurate. I was at one of the rallies for the Tea Party a couple of years ago, and it was racially mixed.

You can scream it's racist all you want, but it's untrue.
