Yes.  The Demopublican Party that you speak of  back during the Civil
Wrongs movement is the same.  They're playing the same game the same
game that they were playing back then.  Go with the popular consensus.
When you have terrible economic conditions, frustrations not to mention
good ole racism escalate.  The Demopublicans went along with the popular
consensus in the 60s...more people(who were acting instead of just talking
were determined to vote the insensitive out of office, so the Demopublicans
tried to play off of that.  Currently, more people are beginning to show their
racist feelings openly and the Demopublicans along with the Repocrats are
only acting off of what the people do.

Oh he didn't get away with it.  Personally, it showed me what method
suits him in that given situation.  I certainly WONT vote for the bastard.
i would rather write someone in.  And what's this about lost votes???
Don't you know that your vote doesn't mean anything in the end?  Your vote
counts when you elect your Senators and Representatives.  More of our people
should run, be supported by our people, and *they should honestly attempt
to accomplish the agenda without selling the consituents out*.
That 'college with free tuition' elects YOUR presdident.

So are you going to vote for him?

That's what has been done throughout the duration of his-story.
I can't think of one single Blak person that has received 'human'
respect by this society all their professional lives. There aren't too
many white ones either.

Could you tell me when Either the Demopublicans, Repocrats, SNL Federalists,
or Libera-anti-Federalists were ever concerned about us? HISTORY has
proven that they don't even recognize our existence.

And I'm going to point something out to those of you who actually believed
that we accomplished anything during Reconstruction(more like Demolition).
Of course a few Blaks were allowed to do somethings for a while, afterall
the cat allows the mouse a little leisure time sometimes..but when they 
got irritated with the big minstrel, they started to lynch us like they 
had never done. And this was after slavery..well that phase of slavery 
because we are more of a slave these days than ever before(mentally, physically,
spiritually, socially, economically).  At one time, a brotha by the name
of B.K. Bruce had such pull in the Treasury department, that his name could
go on the currency.  But in the other words of Dr. Khalid Muhammed,
'It didn't mean a thiinnnnnnnnnnnngg!".
