You say that you don't speak for all black people, but for a lot. Well, no kidding, since the Democratic Party has had majority of blacks' support for some time now. Just pointing out the obvious. I really wish people would move beyond identity politics (this includes both race and gender, and throwing out "you must have gone to public school," ChemistryDave, that has nothing to do with the conversation). We could spend that time actually debating the merits of policies rather than throwing out the race card (or any other card).

And then one must add "recently". To ChemistryDave: "... have not heard such an unbelievable pile of crap in a least 48 hours"? Must be the voices in your head again ... take you meds.

I was, at one point, a Rockefeller Republican. I watched the GOP get hijacked by the so-called Religious Right and watched as Nixon played the ultimate racist game in the '70's. I have continued to watch the GOP stand in staunch opposition to any attempt by America to deal with its racially divisive past. I harbor no illusions that the GOP will not continue to use any tactic it can, including race, to force its ideology of "business first; people maybe" on our nation. I do not speak for all Black people, only myself when I say I consider the GOP a threat to me, Black people and our nation. Dismiss this as simply the ranting of a minority in a minority if you will, but I KNOW I am not alone in this view. I’m a sixty year old Black American. I was, at one point, a Rockefeller Republican.
