Think before you type, Mr. Savage.
If the idiot at Pennsylvania Ave most recent sellout had no affect on how the black community may vote (or if they vote), we wouldn't even see news articles such as these. For those of you that were not raised in the hood, allow me to spell it out to you: Bonehead hit a 3rd rail in the black community.
I can also say that I have heard MANY of my fellow black folks stated they won't be voting for him again (there have also been a few on TV). And do you know how many Tea Party groups were started by black folks? Are you aware of how many black folks have been ASSAULTED at tea party rallies by leftists?
... and these were people who made this decision long before he decided to go rainbow.
Permission to be speak freely in Freeperland?
Thank you.
Folks, by ringing your hands thinking that all blacks are just stupid and vote for this idiot just because he is black , we are missing a golden opportunity. Fact is most blacks for democrat because the biggest employer in the black community is (surprise!)Government. So, unfortunate for many, voting for big government is a 'pocketbook' issue. I don't like it either, but that's the way it is.
But few thing pisses your average black person off more than some (biting my tongue) will stand up and claim their behavioral choice is equivalent to the civil rights movement of the past. Don't believe me? Go find that black person you know and present that to them. Then stand back and watch the response. If I wanted to, I can decide to stop being a heterosexual tomorrow. But I can't decide to become caucasian or hispanic next week. Sorry.
As for voting for president just because he is black, that may have worked in 2008, but this is 2012. He's got a record. And if we can knock that 95% number even down to about 70%, that alone puts 8-10 blue states IN PLAY.
Some of you have written that if blacks don't care about pols who support abortions, why would they care about one supporting the rainbow agenda?
ANS: many of them do, and you will hear the pastors scream against this as well(if you don't believe me, go to a black church and get an earful). And btw, please do not believe every black pastor shares the views of the loud mouths from Chicago.
The Tea Party Types need a bonafied outreach program to minority communities right now. I could easily make point after point on how That idiot's policies have directly impacted the black community - which by the way has gotten WORSE during his tenure (remember Michelle Bachmann talking about that?). And don't think black folks haven't noticed, either. The crap you see on that boob tube about blacks is only what they want you to see. And of one even thinks of stepping of the reservation... well, go ask Herman Cain or Juan Williams what can happen to you
I've already written too much when I should be working. But I'll close by asking you, Mr Savage, and everyone else that hasn't seen it a previous post that I wrote when the that idiot hit the political 3rd rail last week

Personally? I desperately want to see Black families restored. I desperately want to see the Black community experience a profound spiritual awakening. I want to see all these things, but I cannot, alone, make them happen.
Thanks again for your post.
