God I hope this is true. That really did make me feel better. Maybe there is hope for this human race after all.

Thanks for posting.
Because there are smart, patriotic, fair minded Americans of all shapes sizes and colors...as this proves.
Very much appreciated.
We work with a fair number of blacks in DC. Many are for Obama, and that’s understandable on the racial pride front. However, I was surprised at how many have expressed serious concerns, some of which have been posted in the thread.
Either way, n0bama can keep his change. I want so part of it.
Amazing << Hear this.
“Amazing << Hear this.”
Wow!
Nuttin but Stringz: struggle from subway to the charts - “Broken Sorrow”, that melody is so hauntingly beautiful, powerful, mysterious, and moving.
I loved it alot.
Thanks for sharing that.
I’ll be voting for McCain because he sucks less than Obama.
bttt
Welcome back! I missed ya.
As for why I’m not voting for Obama? I’ve seen the ugly side of the black “leaders”. They’re all a group of windbags that really have no solutions. In fact, look at all of their doctorates. They’re either in African American studies or some sort of other useless degree really offers no real world skills. The entire country is going to be ran like the Southside of Chicago if we elect this windbag in, and once he’s in, he’s going to muddy the waters for black politicians for ages to come, both Democrat and Republican, because he’s an idiot.
Remember when Jackie Robinson was chosen to break the color barrier, how he had the right temperament? Obama has the exact opposite temperament and will have a reverse Jackie Robinson effect for America.
‘Zo’s a Freeper? I love his video - I’ve passed it all around.
And Zo, I love your music! Thank you.
Great post, and very encouraging. I myself am one of those rare birds, a black conservative.
Funny that I should bump into this post - I just spent the last two hours surfing black conservative websites and forums. I had no idea there were so many.
There is an honest and growing movement of conservatism in the black community. It’s still small, but thanks to the internet, a lot of folks of like mind in the black community are beginning to network and build coalitions.
In my opinion, blacks are going to become a high profile presence in the Republican party over the next four years. We’re only beginning to see the tip of that iceberg right now.
never heard of Nuttin but Strings...I ended up downloading every single YouTube video..thanks.
My favorite is ‘Dance with my Father’.
WIndflier,
What a good post. I’m getting that feeling, too. I’ve spent the last two nights making GOTV calls at the local Republican HQ, in the loony San Francisco area.
I’ve made calls to people who are new Americans, of every nationality, every age ... lots of them are very clear and excited that they’re voting McCain/Palin. And we’re asking them to spread the word to friends and family.
I was talking with some of my fellow volunteers - one works with teachers and nurses, and a bunch of them (all races: white, black, Hispanic, Pacific Islander...) whispered to her that while they couldn’t admit this at work, they planned to vote for McCain, and that they just couldn’t vote for Obama - way too left. They are expected to support Obama, but can’t and won’t do it.
I think - and pray - we’ll be surprised. The polls are considerably off, I think. They’re not accounting for the Operation Chaos Dems, or the PUMAs for Hillary - all voting McCain/Palin.
Odd - what’s less tolerant than the left?
...very interesting, thanks for posting.
While it is heartwarming to see these Black individuals express such views, I prefer to think of them as my fellow U.S. Citizens, a group of people who are as loyal and loving of this nation as any other U.S. Citizen. Their skin color means nothing to me.
Let’s get real. I don’t know of a single White Conservative that would be upset that a Black man would become President. When the right Black man comes forth, he’s going to get my vote. And he’ll get my vote based on his sound vision for where this nation needs to go. Show me a guy who is a U.S. Citizen and is green, and I’ll vote for him if he has the right core values.
J.C. Watts was one of my favorite Congressmen. He always had a positive attitude. As far as I know he always came down on the right side of issues. If I learned more about him and my perception held up, I would vote for that guy without hesitation, to be President of the United States.
As a White person, it is sad for me to see Blacks cast nine of ten votes for someone who will simply use them, exploit them, race bait on behalf of them.
I have long held that Blacks don’t have to vote like I do, but their votes should reflect the society at large closer than it does today. When that vote does mirror the society at large, racism will truly have become something from the past, that many of us wish hadn’t happened.
Republicans do not hate Blacks. They want them to lead happy successful lives. How could they do that, if they were not financially successful? Republicans support a business environment that floats all boats. That is a solid loving policy. It isn’t pandering like the Democrats do. It is truly teaching a fellow man how to fish, instead of keeping him down on the plantation, where he has to beg for one continually throughout the decades.
I believe Blacks will be better served, by the policies of John McCain. I believe that, because I think all Americans will be best served by his policies vs Obama’s. And so I wish good things for Blacks over the next four years. I wish them to benefit from a more sound nation. Wishing that for all U.S. Citizens, how could I think any differently when it came to Blacks? I don’t focus on Blacks, but addressing their actions during elections on a thread like this, I do want it clear what my hopes for them, for all of us are.
Thank you for this thread. Excellent views were expressed in your post. They sound like FReepers this go round.
The Marxist Effect at work.
The combination of the MSM shamelessly transforming itself into an overt propaganda arm of the Obama campaign, the liberally biased weighting of the national polls in Obama's favor, the weakly run McCain campaign, and the pervasive fear of breaking the political correctness code among many Americans, has created an overall false impression of this presidential race.
If the media had done its job to properly vett Obama and McCain evenhandedly, and the pollsters had not biased the weighting of their polls in Obama's favor, and McCain had run a more aggressive campaign, and if folks weren't so doggone scared to stand up and be honest about their choice for President, we'd be seeing the race as it actually exists.
On November 5th, only Freepers and the right blogosphere will understand exactly why Obama failed so miserably in his quest for the presidency. The left-media, the Democrat party, and the useful idiots who vote for them will think we've "stolen" another election.
