Alabama is about 73 percent white and 26 percent black (only 1 percent are others).
Maybe you could get some black candidates who weren’t race mongers they’d have a better chance. I don’t watch practically any local TV or even listen to much radio. I voted for some state-wide judges and to be honest, I don’t know what any of them look like except I do read their statements. If it sounds socialist or anti-constitution, they don’t get my vote. So I am not voting for or against anyone’s looks or color, but their ideas and principles.
I guess that makes me racist.
OMG! You actually think before you vote! What a novel concept! ;)
I remember in 1996, I was living in Colorado.
I could not vote for Bill Clinton; on the other hand, I didn't really like Bob Dole.
So I decided to start with all the referenda and ballot issues (CO is big on that). I kept reading, and re-reading, and thinking about each one.
Anyway, I finally submitted my ballot.
And I realized that I had forgotten to vote for the President! LOL!
Well, I hope the libraries are happy, etc. ;)
Seriously, CO ballots are long and complicated, which, IMO, is a good thing, if people care enough to study them.
However, not such a good thing if you take so much time that you forget the entire reason you went to vote! LOL!
