Calm down and chill out and get off of the backs of African American posters and citizens.
African Americans by and large want the same ends that you do for this election. We fought and voted in massive numbers for Gore and to the best of my knowledge we will fight like hell to get Kerry elected.
We do have the right to question a candidate or Party or DU poster.
We are no longer slaves but because of that history we are more than a bit sensitive to someone telling us how we should think or react on an issue that is real to us.
I am not asking you to feel our pain. It is clear that you don't care to go in that direction.
I must tell you that it is not as much what you are saying but the way that you are saying it!
Remember,we are not the enemy, Bush is.
If you keep flaming this issue YOU will just add fuel to the fire.
Let's keep our eyes on the Prize...Victory in November which should translate into more compassionate leadership for all of us.
