Hey Donna no one gives a eff. Turnabout is fair play. Your shuck and jive at the conference last weekend was piss poor. I suggest a long stay at Creedmore because it's only going to get worse.

In short, every two and four years Dems court blacks. They award them "treats" for their support. Every two and four years Reps makes noises about reaching out to the black community, than emerge resigned to the fact blacks once again voted Dem. Then the black community is again ignored.

The current differences today is that the President has not stopped his attempts to reach out to the community. he's stepped up his efforts since the election, while the Dems walk away as is their tradition after election. He's appointing high level competant representatives such as Condi Rice. Make no mistake that in the black community where many of their men are in prison or die young, women carry a great deal of responsibility. Condi Rice makes more waves than Colin Powell ever would. Partially because her ideology isn't as closely aligned with them as Powell's, partly because she is a strong woman that made it to one of the highest offices in the land.

The Dems, or at least one of them, has finally picked up on the threat of a GOP targeting the community for outreach during a period when the election has ended. With nothing to gain personally, Bush's efforts have potential to be greeted with less cynicism. Especially when the face of the Dems' is Byrd.

the GOP initiated a trial program in targeted swing states duing '04 that brought back good results in the increase of the vote. They will take this national.

What do dims do? ... Deify Hatllary Rodhamster Clinton, that's what. It's no mystery why the dims are rushing ever leftward while Rodhamster is sliding her slimy self toward what she has been groomed to believe is the middle. And American voters in too large numbers see nothing amiss with a woman who 'stood cookies in hand by her man' while he paraded his degeneracy before her and the world. Nuff said?

This could have other side benefits.

With more Republicans in the black communtiy, how long can the Dems' keep the lid on their "get out the vote" tactics in every election?

My, my. How I would enjoy seeing that can o' worms exposed.

"should be cause for alarm" among Democrats, who risk losing a larger share of their most loyal political constituency

And it's their own damn fault.

I don't feel any sympathy for them -- especially since they would rather keep us "on the plantation..."

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.

I'm surprised Donna hasn't gone over to the Republicans herself.

There are tons of them around the web ... these type photos are taken every time the Democrats want to re-up the con on the black community, which usually means every 2, 4, or 6 years depending on the politician.

Cool. We made it to three posts before someone used the word "plantation".

There were Africans in Ireland and elsewhere during the 1800s. The Grand Marshal of the St.Patrick's Day parade a few years ago was half Irish and Ugandan black.

Tell that to the KKK. According to their 'one drop rule', they have probable cause to hang me.

I don't want to hear anything from this pimp of the race industry, AL BORE'S campaign Master! I wonder if she was responsible for AL BORE screaming like a black Minister in a Church?

As an aside, to the English, everyone was black but themselves *lol* You mentioned KKK, before most Irish assimiliated and became white, they were targets of discrimination for being Roman Catholics. The KKK hate Catholics. I'm still trying to figure that out.
