How I wish more would listen to you. I work in an inner city agency in Memphis. The majority of blacks I work with would not even consider voting anyway other than democratic. To most the Republicans just personify racism. I feel more weariness than anger.
Excellent article! And sadly too true for many. A black man I know is a conservative and a Republican, a seeming rarity where I live and where he lives. Many of his friends and relatives are these kind of staunch Dems, who criticize him for his conservative views. He voted for Bush in 2000. But he still buys into so many of the Dem lies. And worse, he supported Kerry in 04.
I, too, feel more weariness than anger.
