Senor, no I did not see Eddie’s post. However your first post did make me wonder what century you were speaking of. As for 98% of blacks voting democrat, that was exclusively for Mr Obama, and demonstrates a most extreme example of racism in America. I couldn’t tell you how many of my African-American clients (I am a welfare caseworker) said yes when asked if they wanted to register to vote, a question we are required to ask at every interview. They said they were going to vote for “the black guy.” Many didn’t even know his name. They didn’t know his party. They just knew “it wasn’t a regular name” and that he was black. When I asked why they had not registered before, they said that if they did, they might be called for jury duty, and they would not do that.
BCR - thank you, I did mean you. I was sure that I heard that when Mr Obama lived in Asia that he attended a muslim gradeschool. Was I misinformed?
As far as seeing skin color , (or gender for that matter) when you vote, that should not have an impact on your vote. The brain and the heart count. The genetalia and pigmentation do not.
I think Alan Keyes was alright in 2000 and 2004, but I agree that he has gone off the deep end since. Very bitter.
