Since the Democrats know the African Americans will vote for them regardless, they do not have to cater to their demands. The Democrats can laughingly say what are they going to do vote Republican, knowing that it is a true statement.

African Americans complain about their status in this country, the only ones they have to blame are themselves. They have put themselves into this position by the way they have remained blindly loyal to the Democratic party. I will grant the fact that it was LBJ who appointed the first African American to the Supreme Court, but it was Bush 41 who appointed the second. It was also Bush 43 that appointed the first African American as Secretary of State, and the first AFrican American woman as National Security Advisor. Who seems to be doing more for whom.

Dude... Pick up a history book.

I would recommend the college text book "The Enduring Vision" since it is pretty comprehensive. It is also used by a lot of high school AP US history classes.

I think it explains why various minorities are in various positions pretty well, and it really doesn't have anything to do with voting for the Democrats.

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

Yes, God sent the hurricane actively. We shouldn't try to do anything about it, because God meant for thousands of people to have their homes destroyed, and for people to live in utter squalor in the Superdome. Obviously, God wants that.

Also keep in mind that 50 Cent was a cocaine dealer.
I thought mother nature was the one who sent those hurricanes

So what if 50 cent was a cocaine dealer...His opinion still counts.
So does Kanye's

Sure he could have, but it would have been pure speculation. Anyone who looks at the actions of this administration can see that 'W' doesn't care about black people, or poor people in general... only 'W' really knows why.
