When I expressed this to some of my co-workers....my DEMOCRAT, liberal-leaning co-workers....they all expressed amazement that I, as a Republican, would vote for a Black Man.
I just let it go...not worth arguing with fools. BUT - I haven't decided yet if their holding views like that is 1) Sheer Stupidity on their part. 2) Sheer ignorance on their part. 3) Sheer bigotry on their part. or D) All of the the above. Might be D), as far as I'm concerned.
I’d gladly vote for a black person, but not THAT black person.
I’d gladly vote for a woman, too, but not THAT woman.
My favorite recent conversation with a Democrat went something like this:
Her: “I’m supporting Hillary”
I: “Our family is on the ‘giving’ end of socialism, so we will not support her or Obama”
Her: “Oh, I don’t like socialism either.”
What do you say after that?
They make many wrong assumptions about conservatives:
That we’re all greedy (rich)
That we all hate gays
That we all hate minorities
That WE are the elites (they can’t possibly be because they don’t come from money)
“When I expressed this to some of my co-workers....my DEMOCRAT, liberal-leaning co-workers....they all expressed amazement that I, as a Republican, would vote for a Black Man.”
That is because when you look at Mr. Keys, you see a black MAN, and wheb they look at Mr. Keys, they see a BLACK man...
