Blacks have voted for White Democratic candidates for years.

- Yet White Candidates didn't stand up and say anything when the Black vote was disenfranchised in 2000. This bugged the piss out of me and I am a white man.

Well.....now we can do something wonderful and support a Democrat who will be there for ALL Americans and I applaud the Black 90% support for Obama and hope we can get as many to the polls as possible to make 2008 a year to remember forever.

A new Jackie Robinson story will be born and we will ALL be better off for it.

3. I'll third that!

Watching that scene at the beginning of Fahrenheit 9-11, when the CBC stood up for Al Gore and not one fucking Senator would support them, made me sick. And it had to be making Gore sick too, even though he had to be there in his official VP capacity to certify an electoral vote that was fraudulent.

4. Several voters from TN went to Florida to help with the recount

While only very few Senators or House members from anywhere showed up...I kept tasking myself where are they? It was like they hung him out to dry.

5. THAT pissed me off too in 2000. ONLY THE CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS said a damn thing...

...that was SHAMEFUL and disgusting.

I have NO problem with Obama getting 90 of black votes. GOOD for them! GOOD for ALL of us!
