has portrayed Rice as a spinster who takes out her personal frustrations by launching carpet bombing attacks on Iraq,

Wow, Rice has more power than I thought </ sarcasm>

Julian Bond is clinically insane.

Statistics say that 90-92% of them vote alike

I'm aware of statistics, but these aren't statistics, these are people I know. And I didn't ask them, they told me quite vocally.

I'm not quite sure I trust those statistics anyway.I'm sure you're right that a large percentage of Black Americans do vote Democrat, but I don't trust alot of what I read as far as statistics go, and thankfully, things are changing.

As I said, maybe it has alot more to do with income, and careers. The higher the income and education, the more likely we are to want to hang on to our money, and not be led around by the promise of gov't handouts.

Being highly educated myself, I have to leave this discussion right now and watch 'Friends'! ;)

Maybe so. The Blacks I know are all successful professionals. They might be feeling "middle-class guilt".
These are people who share my opinions on everything except which party to vote for.

I often hear liberals referring to "Daddy Bush and Baby Bush." This is when I like to remind them that Albert Gore, Sr. (Daddy Gore) voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 while he was a Senator.


In the Senate, Minority Leader Everett Dirksen had little trouble rounding up the votes of most Republicans, and former presidential candidate Richard Nixon also lobbied hard for the bill. Senate Majority Leader Michael Mansfield and Senator Hubert Humphrey led the Democrat drive for passage, while the chief opponents were Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, of later Watergate fame, Albert Gore Sr., and Robert Byrd. Senator Byrd, a former Klansman whom Democrats still call "the conscience of the Senate", filibustered against the civil rights bill for fourteen straight hours before the final vote. The House of Representatives passed the bill by 289 to 126, a vote in which 79% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats voted yes. The Senate vote was 73 to 27, with 21 Democrats and only 6 Republicans voting no. President Johnson signed the new Civil Rights Act into law on July 2, 1964.

Overall, there was little overt resistance to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The struggle was not yet over, however, as most southern state governments remained under the control of segregationist Democrats. It was a Republican federal judge who was most responsible for desegregating the South’s public schools. Appointed by President Eisenhower in 1955, Frank Johnson had overturned Montgomery, Alabama’s infamous “blacks in the back of the bus” law in his very first decision. During the 1960s, Judge Johnson continued to advance civil rights despite opposition from George Wallace, Lester Maddox, and other Democrat Governors.

More from the racist left. Condi Rice isn't some cowering black girl the leftist pigs can talk down to, so they hate her guts. What can one expect from the party that puts the blacks in the role of victims for all eternity?
