I'm curious to learn how white Republicans are responsible for the plight of the black man.  It seems to me that the White and Black Democrats that have run all major metropolitan cities, and most of the populous states in our union where racial strife exists, for the last 50+ years should shoulder the majority of the blame.

I'm also interested in your views on how "equal protection under the law" pertains to affirmative action principles.  They appear to me to be decidedly "unequal".
