171. Kerrry did not have a SINGLE BLACK PERSON
Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 02:58 AM by ultraist
in the upper levels of his campaign and PEOPLE NOTICED. Kerry LOST GROUND WITH THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS. Putting African Americans in HIGH POSITIONS DOES MATTER.

Democrats better WAKE UP and realize that while Bush may have done this as "tokenism" to gain votes, it is working. And Condi is a perfect match for them, she is extremely intelligent and loyal to their cause.

IT IS RACIST NOT TO APPOINT BLACKS TO HIGHER LEVEL POSITIONS. Yes, the Repukes have other racist policies, but, THEY ARE BREAKING THE GLASS CEILING AND OPENING THE DOORS TO POWERFUL POSITIONS TO BLACKS.

WHY WASN'T IT THE DEMOCRATS THAT APPOINTED THESE "FIRSTS"?

She was NOT APPOINTED because of her race, she IS well qualified and LOYAL TO THEM. THEY WANT LIARS AND LOYALTY.

I applaud Boxer for her comments but that is beside the point of what is going on here, in the bigger scheme of things.

WHY IS IT, WHITE MALES HOLD 99% OF THE TOP DEMOCRAT POWER POSITIONS? THAT IS BULLSHIT AND NEEDS TO STOP! THE REPUKES ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT LOOK HYPOCRITES.

WHITE MALES CAN'T HOARD ALL OF THE POWER POSITIONS FOREVER KEEPING WOMEN AND MINORITIES MARGINALIZED AND EXPECT NOT TO BE ACCUSED OF BEING RACIST AND SEXIST.

BTW, the title of that article, "Black Democrats" is very misleading. They cite TWO black Democrats, NEITHER OF WHOM are Congresswomen/men. TAlk about S T R E T C H I N G the truth.
