Yes, I know the source.

Final Call... moving along now *LOL*

I'll add that some of the guys who sell the Final Call papers are very nice, and are into the Nation because Jesse Lee Peterson is right. Many storefront black churches are filled with emasculating women pastors who hate men. I'll bet AR Bernard would have a lot to say about this since he was a former NOI member.

Interesting...

As it turned out, the right places for Pres. Bush were Ohio, Wisconsin and Florida. These were must-win swing states, and he won them with a considerably higher percent of the Black vote than he got in 2000.

Wisconsin? I think he lost that one.

Though this is from The Final Call, I'd pay a bit of attention to this particular piece - the author, Earl Ofari Hutchinson, is a black moderate, and author of a number of books that are far more conservative than what the Soul Patrol ascribes to.

I've interviewed Hutchinson several times over the past ten years or so, and certainly find him to be far less extreme than many black columnists.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

The articles names WI, OH, FL. Is it coincidence that these 3 states are the states with the highest profile Education Choice debates?

I don't intend to claim that that one issue delivered the vote. On the contrary, I would argue that most Black voters (the same as most white voters) are multi-issue voters. No single issue will make a Democrat feel comfortable with the Republican party.

And most important of all, Republicans need to avoid stereotyping Blacks (and labor union members and rednecks) as reachable and welcome just on a single issue.
