First Black President Will Be a Republican

Submitted by Hotguyg, Aug 14, 2008 13:32

Tomas. I could never understand why Black Americans ever vote for Democrats. The Democrats fought tooth and nail to block the civil rights legislation of the 60s. The Democrats have created the welfare cycle so that many blacks are stuck in. Finally the Democrat Party continues to block school choice and school voucher programs which would allow every poor inner city black parent to choose the best school for their children. Black Americans have been completely hoodwinked by their "community leaders" with full support of the liberal media into thinking that Republicans don't care about blacks. Meanwhile, most of the private sector jobs that blacks need are created by Republicans.
