Is a "white" person considered weird and to be stigmatized because he or she has political views not in accord with the majority of the members of his or her so-called ethnic group? Why should a black citizen who has views different from the majority of other black citizens have to suffer slander from liberal racists? (Actually liberal fascists is an apter appellation)

I remember at one time up to the sixties, the Republican Party had a 45% membership rate with afro-Americans. Prominent black celebrities like Jackie Robinson and Wilt Chamberlain voted for Nixon in 1960. When did it become a crime for afro-americans to vote for parties other than the Democrats? Yes, let's put an asterisk next to everyone who doesn't agree with the political opinions of the majority. We are livng a bizarro world.

He's exactly right.
