Sorry, but 187 didn't do us much good among the black population. They're still reliably Democratic.
What can I say, the Republicans ran far, far away from 187. Take a look at the loser that ran for Governor, Dan Lungren in 1998. That guy was strongly opposed to 187 and against ending Bi-lingual education. There is your explination. The anti-187 candidate lost in the biggest Gubinatorial land-slide in history of the State of California. Now it looks like you're the one who has to explain this phenomenon.

Hey man, all I can tell you is that 187 passed with over 60 of the blacks voting for it. Curbing ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION WAS AND STILL IS POPULAR. The sad fact is that dopes in the Republican party are too busy selling out the nation to win over the Mexican vote.
The sad truth is, that -- in 50 years -- California isn't even going to BE part of America anymore. Unless we start to reverse the cultural deterioration and "Mexican regression" that is taking place there now.
How many long-time Calfornians in this forum -- who have seen the deterioration of the past 25-30 years -- would refute this?
