Wow, what a bad few weeks for the Republican Party. First, Arizona immigration was struck down by the Supreme Court, next, Supreme Court uphold the individual mandate on Affordable Health Care, and now Romney may be lying about Bain.

When there is nothing to defend your candidate, is it the proper thing to do to try and get the posts banned by the forum administrator? What happened to the free speech guaranteed by the Constitution?

I think Harry S Truman (no period after the S) stated it best when he said, "If you cannot stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen."

i do not think my posts need any further clarification. i am the opposite of a racist because i see how the democratic party has used the black voting block for decades and i resent it, and so do they! at least the ones who realize what has happened. hopefully, more and more will. now they (the libs) are targeting their next victims, the hispanics, with bribes of dream acts and easy paths to citizenship ahead of other immigrants who are waiting patiently to go through legal processes.....i don't know where you get your figures and i don't care. i think the number of all races needing govt assistance under this president has shot up due to his disastrous economy, but few other than blacks have been on welfare for generations. that is a form of slavery in my opinion.

Your posts were very clear and very accurate. I can speak with personal validation of what you are saying. I was actually working FOR the Democratic party and left that party in the mid 70's for exactly this reason.
I cannot speak to nationally but I know that then the black vote was being used and I left.

It continues today and you are correct, many leaders in the black community are waking up to that fact, and hopefully it will change.

A young black man told me in the early 70's he was afraid that his race would be used politically and I told him he was silly !! I wish I could find him now and apologize to him.

I might add that what the new message will do is lessen the tension between the races in a big way.

Initially, I thought that your first post was "odd" and possibly "demeaning" but I don't like to immediately judge people so I chose to not respond to it. However, your second post and attempted clarification seems to have been written by a racist.

I'm not saying that you are a racist because I'll willing to wait for further clarification but according to your post, you are saying that MANY blacks (from your first post) are enslaved, ignorant, poor and criminal due to (your preception) reliance on "a welfare system" (from your second post).

First of all, MANY (which would be numerically greater than more - which would be numerically greater than the majority) blacks are not ignorant, poor or criminal.

[No one in this country is enslaved - and to refer to African Americans as "enslaved" is particularly offensive.]

Secondly, you imply that African Americans rely on a "liberal welfare system" that has "encouraged" them to become "ignorant, poor and criminal". I'm not sure what you consider to be a "liberal welfare system". If I were to assume that you mean either transitional assistance to children and families (commonly referred to as "welfare") and/or food stamps, I would also assume that you (as a well-informed woman) would know that Causacian Americans are overwhelming the recipients of this assistance.

Additionally, since you refer to "ignorance", it appears that you're speaking about public education. Again, funding for public education overwhelming benefits Causacian Americans in ways that are too numerous to mention.

Finally, African Americans have achieved equality and deserve respect. It is not something that "will" (in the future) happen based on some awakening defined by others, except, possibly, in the minds of those who are bigots.
