LOL! I can understand that. Good story. It's funny but the GOP used to get almost all of the black vote up until 40-50 years ago.

I think that's when the damn matrix... I mean the Media decided to really get pro-active and try to influence things. They had done so before but never in my life would I have imagined how much basic historical facts could be so twisted to conform to a political ideaology. Leftism in this case.

Oh well, these things take time.

I asked her why she did not believe me and she said because her teacher told her what really happened during the Civil War.

This was a college student? And she was satisfied with "cuz that's what Teacher told me" ??? Pathetic. Must've been an education major!

More Blacks are closet Bush/GOP supporters than many realize it's just that few can come out and admit it lest they suffer due to the ignorance of too many fellow Blacks who just buy the Dem pap, especially at this time every 4 years. It's changing though, however slowly.

No wonder the Democrats have gone insane. If black people can think for themselves, their party is finished.

[ "A black person voting for a Republican makes about as much sense as a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders." ]

Actually the reverse is TRUE...
"A black person voting for a DEMOCRAT makes about as much sense as a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders."

The brain washing is deep among blacks and Jews.. The same could be said about Jews too.. The MSM had been brain washing them for generations.. LEGALLY.. and with their own consent..

When, Asked WHO stood in the doors of school houses in the south against blacks entering.. What do you think.. they think ?...
If you said democrats you'd be WRONG...

I looked at all the issues Democrats are fighting for, and I saw no good ideas," said Ron Smith, 36, a Lauderhill management consultant. "Too many African-Americans vote for Democrats just because we always have.

Spread the word, Ron-bo...

Take heed, Democrats: Unrequited love is not an option

***SNELLVILLE, GA. – The black American electorate is at zero hour; a vital decision must be made.
After 64 years of mostly unrequited love, black voters must choose to end their unilateral devotion to the Democratic Party. This will not be easy, and what is
required for black voters to let go and realize their full potential will be counterintuitive to prevailing political thought in the African-American community.

Prior to 1940, most blacks who were able to vote identified themselves as Republicans because Abraham Lincoln - the great Emancipator - was a Republican. But
with the success of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies, blacks began voting for Democratic candidates and by 1960, most had migrated to the
party. For the second half of the 20th century, blacks have been a reliable constituency for the Democrats. Yet no longer can we afford to base party affiliation and
voting patterns on sentimentalism.

The black electorate has received only a small and inconsistent return on its unyielding loyalty. Self-respecting black voters should not be counted on to flex their
enormous political muscles on cue without asking for, and receiving, more return on their investment.

That yield must include more blacks in all levels of Democratic Party leadership and an unfeigned effort to promote blacks for statewide and national office - even
the presidency.

Eloquent speeches at the 2004 Democratic convention by the Rev. Al Sharpton, a former presidential candidate and by Barack Obama, a candidate for US Senate
from Illinois, are not fair trade for robust black electoral capital……***

We as Blacks need to give the political process a much closer look. Being military I generally support the party that supports me, meaning GOP. Not keen on the idea of always voting along party lines I must advocate getting underneath the issues before we cast our vote.

"At one house they'd tell you, `I'm not interested. I'm going to vote for Kerry.' But at the next house, they would sit and listen."

Freaking amazing... Sounds just like ANY neighborhood to me.
