If Hillary's campaign invited participation from an "ex-African American" who claimed to be "cured"
of his "blackness" by bleaching his skin and straightening his hair, would it affect your support for her?

6. We need to start rating McClurkin-related posts for stupidity
I'd say you just jumped into the lead, which is saying a lot.

12. Thomas Jefferson railed against slavery...
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 10:54 AM by SaveElmer
Didn't stop him from being one of the largest slave owners in Virginia or knocking up one of them...

It was a cynical attempt by Obama to curry favor with a significant portion of the Democratic party that is anti-gay...

11. That analogy is accurate...
The reaction many people have today to discrimination against Gays is about the same as many people had about discrimination against Blacks in the first part of the 19th century...they probably didn't think they were doing anything wrong either...
