I'll tell you where the black vote is: My sister worked in a bank in Sacramento for 30 years and during the 2000 election she tried to convince this young black girl that she should vote for Bush instead of Gore. The girl admitted that she liked Bush and didn't much care for Gore and thought Bush would be better for the country. After the election my sis asked her if she voted for Bush and she said, "no, I just couldnt vote against my people".

That says Jesse Jackson to me. Sheep, they are sheep.

Sheep, they are sheep

Illogical generalization. In the lower middle class suburb I worked in 2000, the split was obvious. Blacks on a government check (welfare, post office, HHS or HUD job and government funded non-profits) leaned Dem. Blacks working at for profit companies leaned pro-Bush.

One solution is to shift more jobs to the private sector and shift Blacks to getting their check from the private sector.

I estimate 30% of Blacks went for Bush. In contrast 100% of Hispanics went for Bush. But I estimate only 5% of sexually active unmarried women (who are thick in that area) went for Bush.

So should we write off your sister? Your daughter?

Many have that mentality. You won't get me to deny that. But just as many others are beginning to see the light, there are also those that can be shown the light.

There are plenty here that would rather deny that and ignore people like me.
