Did You Know?
Countdown to Victory:
Currently, Texas is the only state to have 3 African Americans serving in statewide office—all are Republicans: Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson, Supreme Court Justice Dale Wainwright, and Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams.
In the 10 years that Republicans have been the statewide majority (1994–2004), 7 minority Texans have held statewide office; yet in the 122 years that Democrats controlled the State (1872–1994), only 4 minority Texans held statewide office.
The Texas Republican Party was formed on July 4, 1867, in Houston by 150 African Americans and 20 Anglos.
2 of the first 3 statewide leaders of the Republican Party of Texas were African Americans.
The first 42 African Americans elected to the Texas Legislature were Republicans.
When the Republicans gained the Texas Legislature in 1869, they established a system of free public schools to educate all the children of the state—something Democrats had refused to do.
The first faith-based program was proposed in the 1870s by Republican African American Senator Matthew Gaines.
When Democrats recaptured Texas government in 1872, Democrat Governor Richard Coke’s election was described as “the restoration of white supremacy.”
President George W. Bush was the first president to appoint an African American as Secretary of State (Collin Powell). He also appointed African Americans as National Security Advisor (Condoleeza Rice), Secretary of Education (Rod Paige) and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (Alphonso Jackson).
With new programs established by President Bush, African American home ownership is at an all-time high.
Of the 4 African Americans who have ever been U.S. Senators, 3 were Republicans.
The 13th Amendment abolishing slavery passed Congress with the support of 100% of Republican members but with only 23% of the Democrat members.
When the 14th and 15th Amendments extending civil rights and voting rights to African Americans passed, not even 1 Democrat in Congress voted for those amendments.
Texas African American Ping!
Time for an exorcism...
The demonrats have been evil for a long, long time!

Just listen to Kerry's lying BS...that says it all.
quick, someone, e-mail this to Harry Belafonte!
I dream of the day when we are not surprised or it is not a news item that African-Americans are taking part in the American life, as elected officials or part of the general public just going about their lives. I'm sure there are as many opinions and positions in that community (which should be just part of the community at large) as any other, and it must be annoying to always be singled out.
In 2000, 9% of Blacks voted for Bush. The latest poll showed that 18% would be voting for him this year.The GOP has a long, hard road to overcome the 'RATS Class Warfare Propaganda and the MSM propping them up.
The Democrats and the MSM are shameless.
Thanks for the ping.
"In 2000, 9% of Blacks voted for Bush. The latest poll showed that 18% would be voting for him this year."
Kerry has to get out 18% more new Kerry Black voters now just to be even with where Gore was in 2000!
Hallelujah!
That proportion, if realized on Nov 2, will by itself spell defeat for the Democrats. Especially if it results partly from low black turnout because of no enthusiasm for the Democratic nominee - giving them a low net black vote advantage.In Pennsylvania the Republicans attribute the '00 loss to high black turnout; absent that PA might be a Bush win this time.
Go, Dubya, go !!

How then to explain those who make a career of this "singling out"?
E.g., The Reverend Jackson?
Michael Williams for Governor!
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
Jesse Jackson is living so far in the past, he doesn't have the pulse of the black community of the 21st century. He still wants to use race-baiting and anti-white racist statements to separate people, when most people just want to live their lives without labels or handouts from pandering people like Jackson and the Dum-o-cRATS! African Americans want to raise families, get the best education possible and move up in their jobs to better positions and all the things that every American wants and should be able to have by virtue of their own ambition and passion.
In regard to President Bush as opposed to the Jesse Jackson model, the president has respected black people and has had more black people (not that he is counting!) in his administration than all the Dum-o-cRATS combined. And it is not because he is pandering like they (J.J. and the Dems) do--he is all about getting the right PERSON for the job, period! That should be anyones criteria for any area of endeavor, not singling out or putting down or sucking up to!
