Dang. I used to admire him so much. He was on my dissertation committee and I thought he was wonderful. He'd argue against that commie Haitian nut DeGraf on the creole-list, he'd read Ayn Rand, he stood up against all sorts of hate when he wrote "Losing The Race."
To have him sink back and be seduced by an inexperienced but charismatic Marxist whose closest friends are race-baiters and bomb-throwers is really depressing.
To think that in the end, color trumps all...
If I had to pick between a black conservative and a white liberal, I'd pick the conservative every single time. Ten out of ten. I just don't get it.

Yes. I voted for a black conservative Michael Steele against white Jewish liberal Ben Cardin in 2006 for US Senate (I am Jewish myself).
...by the content of his character
btw, Steele lost 44% to 54%

Fearless predictions:
- Obama will garner 95-96% of the black vote at least - maybe even higher.
- 40-50% of black _registered Republicans_ will vote for him.
- Even a percentage of black Freepers (not sure how many there are) will end up voting for him.
.... Just because he’s black and “it’s time for one of us to be president”.
Guaranteed!

(disclaimer: before anyone accuses me of “racism” [actually, I really don’t care about that], about 10 years ago I voted a couple of times for a gentleman named Gary Franks for the U.S. House of Representatives. I cast a vote for Mr. Franks because he was the Republican candidate who I believed would best represent my interests. He also happens to be black.)
