Hoosiermama, you’re preaching to the choir. I was not being sarcastic with my post, nor was I questioning or “dissing” Ms. Rice in any way. I think it’s great that an obviously well educated Black female is standing up to the DemonRat political machine.

My question was a simple honest inquiry that I had hoped one day Ms. Rice or someone else in the Black community could answer.

And yes I was taught some of this information in school. Of course, I’ve also been accused of being older than mud. And, I went to school before the liberal brain washing NEA took control of the school system.

So I’ll again throw out the question for anybody to answer.

With survey after survey stating that the “typical middle class Black” wants the same things for his/her family that President Bush and the GOP have tried to provide, (and that which the DemonRat party has promised year after year after year ad-nausea and has never delivered on), such as school vouchers and limiting abortion on demand, why does “typical Black America” continue to vote a straight DemonRat ticket?

I, too, admire Condi Rice a great deal. Your question was this:

"With survey after survey stating that the “typical middle class Black” wants the same things for his/her family that President Bush and the GOP have tried to provide, (and that which the DemonRat party has promised year after year after year ad-nausea and has never delivered on), such as school vouchers and limiting abortion on demand, why does “typical Black America” continue to vote a straight DemonRat ticket?"

You are right that many blacks oppose abortion on demand, but blacks don't tend to vote on that issue. For me, being pro-life does affect my vote, but I'm the exception, not the rule. As for vouchers that issue has only gotten hot in the last couple of years, and isn't so monumental as to make people change their votes when issues such as income redistribution, the minimum wage, gun control, and affirmative action are on the table. Those tend to be the most important issues to black voters. Try as I might to convince my friends that welfare is a road to nowhere, that's not the prevailing view.

Because they have not been allowed the EDUCATION that they should have been granted. They have been oppressed and kept in ignorance for one reason only: To further the needs of the "Democratic" party.

It is logical and comes from common sense...if one is a victim of the Mushroom Syndrome, one only knows the mushroom caves.

"the liberal brain washing NEA took control of the school system."

BINGO!!!!

I taught school for 30+ years and yes those of us older than dirt did receive some of this material in our education. Have you looked through any of your state adopted history books lately.?....You'll be shocked! Then again maybe you won't...Rewriting History is not something invented by the Clintons....

Then again, Ask Trueblackman, mhking, they might have more insight to your question than I do.
