You have very flawed logic.

Oh, I think they lynched them all. Isn't that what republicans, in your mind, do to minorities?

Let me see..................... this may take a while...................but..........ummmmmmmmmmmm mm............................aren't 95% of blacks democrats? Let's see now, if one were to go fishing for trout, would one do so in a toilet bowl, or a trout stream? You see, there are not that many black republicans to choose from. That being said, the representation in the republican party as a % of its members is probably several fold greater than in the democratic party.

The most ironic part in all of this is..

Since 95% of blacks are Democrats, one would assume that they would have 20 times the number of elected minorities than Republicans, and they should be 20 times more likely to elect the first minority House member, and first Senate member than Republicans. Since Republicans hold these "firsts" and Republicans have elected more Congressman than Democrats, I'd say that this proves Democrats are 20 times more racist than Republicans...

Ater three years of democratic control of congress and one year of democratic control of the presidency and the black unemployment rate in this country is 25% And over 50% for black males under the age of 25.

And you wanna say republicans are racist? What the hell planet are you living on?

If democrats gave one damn about blacks they would be doing something about getting them some jobs. I suspect that blacks are willing to work if given the chance.

3 years of promises form democrats about blacks and they are worse off than ever.

2006 was the lowest unemployment rate in history for blacks. That was when Republicans had the presidency and congress. Now that dems have it blacks are about as worse off as they have been in generations.

Maybe if the progressives woke up and stopped blaming white republicans for the failure of the racist progressive agenda black people could find some work.

And you cant even blame republicans. You dont need one vote from a republican to pass your progressive agenda and help blacks. Yet, you all can't do it. Can't get enough votes up to help blacks after 3 years of control of congress. Progressives and democrats are the racists. They have all these ideas and refuse to pass them.

They really ought ban people like you from this site. All you progressives wanna do is suppress minorities and then blame republicans. You oughta be ashamed of yourselves.

And why is that? Perhaps because Republicans are too elitist?

The Vice President is white, Democrats must be racists.
The Speaker of the House is white, Democrats must be racists.
The Senate Leader is white, Democrats must be racists.

In fact ALL of the Democrats leaders are white. The Democratic Party

The chairman of the Republican National Committee however is black.

So which party is really racist?

The only thing I can take from your posting is, if Republicans dont vote for blacks they are racists, if they do, they are too elitists.. Wtf you talking about Willis?
