14. And Your Point Is?????
Do I need to be black to point out that since 1969 there have been a total of THREE!!! Count 'em THREE Black Republicans elected to the House of Representatives?

Do I need to be black to point out that there are currently ZERO black Republican Senators or House Members?

Do I need to be black to point out that since the Civil Right movement, covert and overt racism and "race baiting" has led to a block of Republicanism that almost matches exactly the Mason-Dixon line?

Do I need to be black to point out that Strom "A truly great American, who if he'd been elected, this country would be better off" (as per Sen Trent Lott) Thurmond once spoke for nearly 36 hours straight in an attempt to filibuster the Civil Rights Act?

Do I need to be black to point out that every single Dixiecrat switched to Republican when they realized that they could no longer hold power because, at that time in the South, if you had a "D" after your name, you were supporting them "uppity" blacks?

I think your post is offensive. I'm not allowed to have an opinion unless I'm black?

I don't ride horses, but I can sure identify horse-shit when I see it on the ground.
