Well, how many blacks are in Kerrys Camapign? Bush has 2 in his Cabinet IN HIGH POSITIONS! 3 if you count Rod Paige then if you want to talk about minorities, you could look to Carl Mineta, and the Latino fellow I forget his name...

First of all neither candidate will "do" anything "for the African-American community". AT ALL. Quick, name something a President can "do for the African-American community". What does that even mean?

In fairness, I'd have to say Kerry will probably talk a lot more than Bush about "doing" things "for the African-American community" (but that's not the same thing). He may even sign a "hate crime" or "civil rights" bill and claim that in doing so he is really doing something for the African-American community (but he will be wrong; most such things are emptyheaded feelgood fluff and don't accomplish squat "for" African-Americans).

The whole concept of "doing something "for" the African-American community" is for morons and/or racists. We'll know we've really accomplished something for the African-American community when they are viewed as Americans (not "African-Americans"), like all other Americans, and thus a question such as "Which candidate would do more as president for the African-American community?" is widely understood to be not only idiotic but condescending and insulting.

You are absolutely right. That question is dumb as hell. It's like asking, "What will you do for Latin-Americans? Chinese Americans? Portugese-Americans? etc, etc."

The question should be, "What will you do for AMERICANS?" Many blacks still believe that the Dems will take care of them. I think it's insulting that the Dems act like the blacks need so much help from government and that the Dems are the ones to provide that help.

Not that it did any good.

Pretty sure it wouldn't be too hard to write a simple script to disallow votes coming in as a result of a referral from FR. I haven't been following the site too long but it seems like FReeping has little or no effect on CNN polls in particular.
