Voting based on race is nothing new, but it becomes more apparent when practiced by African-Americans. I believe it is racialist behavior when African-Americans do it to deny certain rights to raced whites. I don't see this happening. I can't speak for the majority of African-Americans, but I will say this, I don't believe the republican platform represent the core beliefs of African-Americans. I don't believe that the majority of African-American believe in the war in Iraq, I don't believe that the majority of African-American are not pro choice, I don't believe that majority of African-Americans are against legal citizenship. I don't believe either party have been fair to many groups in the United States, so when someone comes along with true reform, which generally appears in the Democratic Party, many African-Americans vote the ticket. However, Obama is different, Obama is registering many American citizens who would not have particpated in the electoral process, just not African-Americans. Obama is not just an African-American candidate. Obama represent an opportunity for African-Americans to play an important role in getting him into the white house. I believe African-Americans, way back to Fredrick Douglass understood, it was pee, while raced white americans tried to convince us, that it was rain. As you know, I am an independent..I voted for Obama for the general but will not be voting for either candidates during the primary. Oreo:

Why do a majority of Black Americans whose core beliefs match the Republican platform but yet blindly walk into the polling location and vote Democrat? The Democrat Party that gave you the Klan, had control of Congress for over 44 years and could of passed every civil rights law and labor law that they wanted to, who fought the 1964 Civil Rights Act and then tell you they are the champion of the minorities. This is a lot like peeing on your head and calling it rain. Credo:

But, I did not write the media release. I don't believe the title is offensive. I believe it suggest that folks should not wait till the last minute to vote. Lucy K-Mart has always had a lay-a-way. And that's a good thing. Glad to see you are using my name and still getting upset when I raise my voice on issues that impact the African-American community. AwB:
