Yes that was Gwen's black women question. AIDS is spread, for the most part, by inappropriate personal behavior. It is preventable. Gwen wanted to know what the government was going to do about it. After all, it is Bush's fault because he doesn't care about black people.

She asked a question about a significant problem to the black community. I don't see a thing wrong with it, but blacks might since Edwards completely fumbled the ball. He couldn't even discuss the issue as it exists in the United States, among a minority he expects 90% of which to vote for him. I hope black in America take note.

It is a significant problem for America. Gwen was talking about black WOMEN. I thought she asked the question of Cheney in an accusatory manner. She asked what the government was going to do about it. Cheney allowed that he did not know that the AIDS rate was so high for black women, but that rate of infection was going down as a whole. I guess that feeds the impression that GWB doesn't care about the black community, especially black women.

Edwards said he would double the funding on AIDS.

What can the government do?? Black women are getting AIDS too much in this country from either cheating husbands or their own promiscuity. I feel very bad for the poor wives who get it innocently. The others should save sex for marriage and pick really well. Unfortunately, black (and white) popular culture pushes casual sex into everyone's faces.
