... and that culture is undoubtedly shaped in more than a few ways by the actions of (D) politicians. A symbiotic relationship, but, arguably parasitic (with the pols the parasites).

Please consider making a donation to Charles Lollar (5th congressional district, MD) who is running against Steny Hoyer. Help retire Nancy Pelousy's favorite purse carrier! And we all know nothing makes lib heads explode like black Republicans getting elected!

Charles Lollar for Congress

Black Americans = 14 % of the voting block....

And 95% of that 14% are apparently either such virulent racists that they support politicians based solely upon race, or are outright f$%&ing Marxists. That's 13.3% of the voting block. Not insignificant.

“I’m hoping that too - it is a growing movement.”

This is the opportunity of a lifetime for black conservatives…..I hope they recognize it…and have the fortitude to push on..

I would pay serious $$ to see Jackson and Sharpton crash and burn………..
wonder if I’ll live long enough to see it happen….
If it happens when I’m on my death bed…
well, do you think God will forgive me if I die laughing?

No, I beg to disagree with Representative Jim Clyburn. I believe there are many Black folks that are turned off by POTUS Obama and realize how harmful he is presently to American Blacks and how hurtful he will be as the future unfolds. American Blacks will be hurting a long time after Obama is dispatched out of office in disgrace. The overwhelming majority of “other” Americans will hold American Blacks responsible for this failed “UnAmerican”, destroyer of our economy POTUS. I also think that most American Blacks are playing “the Obama thing” very close to the vest and therefore they are publically mum on how they really feel. We should get a good view of where they truly stand on the evening of November 2, 2010. IMHO, for their own good, thye best broom Obama into oblivion. He is no friend of American Blacks. Never was and never will be. His God is not in heaven, it is him, and him only. He could care less about Blacks or any other Americans. He cares only about himself and his warped political dogma!!! Just one man’s opinion.

I hate to break this to you, James, but the entire population of blacks in the U.S. is 12%, and I'm not talking about voting age.

Clyburn bless his heart is seriously delusional. The ‘Rats already have 99% of the black vote. Well, those that can be bothered to vote, anyway.

It’s not enough to win.

The ‘Rats also need a large proportion of the white man vote, the white women vote, and especially the independent everything vote. They WON’T be getting THAT.

Sounds like Clyburn's been getting into Nancy Pelosi's stash. That stuff'll make you delusional.

...my feeling is without Baraq hisself on the ticket, the minority turnout will be unenthusiastic.

You're exactly correct. The same holds true for the much-vaunted "youth vote".

The dregs of humanity showed up for The One, but I doubt if most of them even realize there's a major election happening next month.

“It’s not their race that makes them vote that way, it’s their culture.”

There is no longer a way to separate the two. The Dems have the blacks firmly planted where they want them.....dependents on the dole and on the plantation. And, very very sad to say, the dependents seem content to be irrelevant and simply called upon to come out on election day to continue their plantation nation. Drugs, bad school systems, high drop out rates, crime, high unemployment, 70% out of wedlock births. The only “American dream” that exists is to become a rapper or a professional athlete.

I'm the sole conservative of a very large black family. When I was back home visiting them last April, they were all eerily quiet about Obama. When our conversations veered into the area of politics, not a single one of them mentioned his name. Not once.

I got a sense that they're all quietly disturbed about what he's turned out to be.

And, I didn't even say, "Told ya!" (though I would have dearly loved to.)

They’ll do down with the rest of us.

Their hopey and changey is not what they’re looking for.

They’re just not bright enough to see it. All they
see is black.

First reading I misread “getting into Pelousi’s STUFF”, gave me the willies just thinking about it.
