  1. Who are these folks, anyway?

    They're the independent thinkers who were strong enough to slip past society's brain-washing.
  2. "The ad...accuses the president of telling black folks to "stop complaining""

    Eugene, no accusations needed. You do realize the president IS telling black folks at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to stop complaining - right?
  3. White people vote for and against white candidates. Is it so hard for you to accept that some black Americans can be independent thinkers? Who's the real racist in this story? I noticed that Eugene didn't attempt to argue the facts given in the video...he went right to his racist dialog.
  4. Blacks lose HUGE under Obama, but because they have so little to lose Obama could careless. The rationale is that everybody loses by definition; after all, he is a marxist and everything has to suffer. But, you can look forward to a block of cheese and some day old wonder bread at the door. Obama counts on the peasants to be too dumb to notice.
  5. "Of course, some of that is taken out-of-context from previous Obama speeches where he did tell various groups that things were tough and it was time to stop complaining and take positive action.That's an entirely different message." OF COURSE!

    "I don't think these new ads will have much impact for black voters. But it's always interesting to see the degree to which some black Republicans will go to justify their particular political stance." NO, BLACK VOTERS WILL CONTINUE TO VOTE BLACK, BUT IT'S ALWAYS INTERESTING TO SEE THE DEGREE TO WHICH MOST BLACK DEMOCRATS WILL GO TO ONLY VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO LOOK LIKE THEM, REGARDLESS OF THE MESSAGE.
  6. "Who are these folks.." Mr. Kane asks. The answer is simple. These are the responsible members of the black community who are NOT looking for a free hand-out from government!! It is no doubt a shocker to Mr. Kane and others of his ilk, that there are some black people who do not have the plantation mentality. Unfortunately for America, those folks are all too few!!
  7. Here is a short list who these terrible Black Republicans may be or represent.

    Herman Cain
    Conoleezza Rice
    Alphonzo Jackson
    50 Cent
    Clarance Thomas

    All intelligent people who don't vote for someone just because they are "black like me".

  8. This PAC is a shadow operation for BaseConnect, which has not one black person on it's staff. The depths that some people will go to is amazing.

  9. I never realized that the parties now have a color behind them. I guess only a black (loose term) journalist could add that realm!
  10. Huh, free thinking Americans of African descent? This isn't allowed, Gene?
