I think it's 147 years now since slavery ended... and counting.
Our Republican politicians are so spineless. Every election the majority of blacks (through their organizations & leadership) ignore Republican politicians with the excuse that Republicans "think they're better than them", and the Republican politicians just sit there and take it. Can't even one of them speak up about how outrageously ignorant it is of most blacks to do that?
The Democratic Party at this point is a party of comedians (like Jon Stewart & Bill Maher) because you'd have to be a cynical person to support pandering to the attitude of most blacks.
If your house is on fire and you call 911, do you say that you want firemen to come to your house who don't think they're better than you, or do you ask for firemen who can get the job done? The attitude of most blacks in this country is insane.
