Because it's all about race
and we're all racists...
... over the last 10 years, about 200 black politicians have won positions once held by whites in legislatures and city halls in states like New Hampshire, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina and Tennessee.
In 2007, about 30 percent of the nation’s 622 black state legislators represented predominantly white districts, up from about 16 percent in 2001, according to data collected by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a research group based in Washington that has kept statistics on black elected officials for nearly 40 years.
Political scientists and local officials also point to an increase in the number of black mayors who represent predominantly white cities in places like Asheville, N.C., population 74,000, and Columbus, Ohio, population 748,000.
In the 1980s, few black state legislators represented predominantly white districts, said David A. Bositis, the senior political analyst at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies who conducted the most recent study of black state legislators.
By 2001, that number stood at 92, according to Tyson King-Meadows and Thomas F. Schaller, political scientists at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, who analyzed statistics from the joint center and other sources. In 2007, the figure was 189, Mr. Bositis said.
About 45 percent of the black state lawmakers represent communities that are 35 percent to 40 percent black in states like Georgia, Indiana and North Carolina. But roughly a quarter represent communities where blacks make up 20 percent or less of the population, including districts in Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan and Tennessee.
On my way home from work today, I was stopped at a light. Some guy pulled up next to me and called me a racist bitch. I figure it was because of the Palin/McCain sticker on my truck.
It's expected that 95% of black people will vote for Obama, but I'm the racist.

I get called a racist ALL the time, simply because I speak the truth... But hey, I carry a Hi Capacity .45 everywhere I go now, just in case...
Ya know, if I were attacked and I shot my attacker, here in Texas I'd be called a hero, I wonder what the Obamessiah supporters would call me???

Sorry you got slimed Linda, imagine their consternation if they thought it were a Jewish lady supporting McCain-Palin. Prolly some good Christians too, living up to that that old "Do Unto Others" example.
To prove that it is all about race listen to Sal in Harlem, it's street talk but it proves the point that it is not about issues, it's not about economy it's not about national security. It's all about Obama, Race and what can we get for nothing. We's owes it to's them.

Race Shmace...
Why do Michelle X and her man keep quoting a dead White guy(Sol Alinsky)?
They are Reds with a Black Liberation variant.
(Interestingly my post called "Bill Ayer's Living Room" is all of a sudden getting many hits. Some of the viewers might even be Black. Obamaton's have tried to hack me, but the truth is around, if people want to know it.)

Michelle Obama Lashes Out at "White Racists"
Mrs Obama vanished for a little while, but she is back to stir up the African vote. Not that they can vote in the US elections.
But stirring up the vote apparently means attacking the white racists who run America and telling the blacks that they are not allowed to vote for anyone not vetted by her and her husband. Naturally, black Americans have to be one voting block that votes for whoever the Democrat Party orders them to vote for. Do the Americans of Black African descent really belong to the Dems when it was the Dems who fought to keep them as slaves? That just cracks me up!
Gateway Pundit: African Press: Michelle Obama Lashes Out at "White Racists": "Reportedly, Michelle Obama held a phone conversation with the African Press International and blasted the organization for spreading rumors to to 'damage a black man’s name.' She also condemned the 'white racists' who were bringing up issues on Obama's citizenship.
African Press International reported:
...
When API told her that our online news media was only relaying what the American Bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations, Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: “African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father. The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon to API.”
