Anybody else find it odd that only African-Americans rise in support?

[dave123williams]

And only white guys rise in opposition? Weird.

[Pachamama]

1. Odd? Weird? - No, its SHAMEFUL....

This speaks volume as to the situation here in America...Racism and fascism are alive and well in Amerika folks...

:cry:

[Zhade]

15. That was the first word that came to my mind, too.

An utter disgrace.

[Warpy]

2. No, because it's about class

Black congresscritters are only recently out of enforced poverty. The white males all identify with the wealthy. Although all congresscritters will do well under junta tax policy as part of the wealthy class, blacks remember where they came from.

I won't be voting for my Dem senator. He's cast his lot with disenfranchisement and dictatorship. There is now officially no reason to vote for him. I know he won't stand up for basic rights, and so he can't be trusted to stand up for anything.

3. Women too. Black and White. n/t

[dbt]

4. Not odd at all.

Our Black Cousins have seen this drama a few hundred times too many. Looks like we'd eventually get a clue...

:freak:

5. So why do we keep electing White people in the primaries?

It's time for change!

[yurbud]

6. blacks know GOP will give nothing and use them as scapegoats

No matter how much they kiss their ass, so they don't kiss.

[Up2Late]

7. NO

If they just sat there and TOOK this Crap, They would never be able to show their Face back home again

8. Same thing that happened in 2000

Deja-vu all over again. (there have been exceptions, especiall women)

[slay]

9. SHAMEFUL!!

:(

10. And they were incredibly eloquent

The white Republicans, male and female, showed, through their repetitive and scripted remarks, that they just don't have a clue as to what this objection is really all about!

11. I find it untrue

There were several white Democrats who rose in support of the resolution. Including Dennis Kucinich and Barbara Boxer.

[joanski01]

13. Did you see Dennis make his speech

when the House first came into session. He was talking about Social Security. He said "Mr. Speaker, call the cops. The American people are getting robbed". I laughed, but he looked mad as hell.

[joanski01]

12. I don't find it odd at all.

African-Americans know what it is like to be considered only 3/4's human. They also know what lynching is like. They know what slavery is like. And it's going to be happening to a whole lot of us whites pretty soon. Just keep voting for Republicans and you'll see.

[Touchdown]

14. Not odd, but embarrassing. n/t

[ecstatic]

16. Blacks are the ones who have to take the fall

Then again, their supporters are very loyal because their Reps (gasp) actually stand up for them.

[buddhamama]

17. odd, nope. weird, hardly

not after the disenfranchisement and theft of election 2000.

[Skittles]

18. nope, I don't find it odd

not at all
