No, it is not a "cop out." I accurately recall where you said that black people should be written off. Well, since I am black, what then, have I to do with you? The only direction this could go now is bad.

It's a total cop out. I voiced skepticism about the return on investment for "going after the black vote", as they say. You disagreed with me and I engaged in dialogue on the subject. I am willing to be convinced, at least when the topic piques my interest.

So here comes a story. I see you post a number. Someone questioned it. I tried to check it out. Where's the beef, rdb3? It's so funny that you would complain about outreach and dialogue, and then refuse to participate in it. That's so interesting that you would do that. I would be happy to just pick up the conversation where it left off:

Where did you get that 75%, anyway?

I don't know what it is overall ---- in the region I'm in it's well over 75%. I think a lot depends on where you live --- out West blacks are strongly middle class. I know at least 2/3 of blacks were middle class 10 years ago or so and that might have gone up.

Bull².

Again, you've stated your belief. What have I to do with you?

And I would be happy if you go in peace. You've said what is in your heart, and that is where the truth resides.

But don't worry much. Many here share your point of view. mhking can attest to that.
