"Why are they not insulted by it? Wouldn't you be?

Facts is facts.

Dubya has put his mouth in action by such appointments as Condie Rice and Colin Powell.

Blacks insist these two are just being used by whitey.

I disagree. I could never be prouder of the jobs these two have done (except Powell is a little too PC for me).

When you look at who is aspiring to run for President from the Black community (Sharpton to Explore Presidential Bid) there isn't much of a choice.

Blacks haven't voted anything but Democrat in over sixty years (or more) and that trend has stygmatized them IMHO in a negative light.

But, if one looks back from the day that Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech in Washington D.C. almost forty years ago, Blacks have indeed progressed immensely both economically and socially over this period.

Yep, but sadly not politically. I think that is starting to change and I am so thankful for the fine people on this forum that are black. It gives me a great deal of hope and suggests to me that there are far more out there than we are led to believe and that the time may soon be coning when the RATS will have a to work a bit harder for their votes.
