Your preacher was lying to you...

You DO realize I'm being sarcastic here? Don't you?

My point is that I work with a lot of highly educated, highly successful blacks, and MOST of them think something along these lines. Even the least militant blacks often have a paranoid streak you wouldn't guess was there until you really get to know them.

November is gonna be real interesting...

At first I didn't but I did finally figure it out... Hence, my reply about your preacher lying to you...

Then they must not be using the education they got.

I see your point, but I'd really like to see this kind of turnout:

I know you were being sarcastic, but you are right in the sense that many blacks do have a paranoid streak. Sometimes its warranted, most of the time it is not. In Florida, the paranoia was rampant. Basically, many blacks SAW police and were intimidated. The reason so many cops? Because DemocRATS who worked at the polling places were scared about a large black vote and were intimidated and asked for more officers. The paranoia and naive that many blacks show does frighten me, but I believe that if they acquire the knowledge and are treated well, and no misled by liberals, they in general will be fine.
