i ain't tooting my horn as a republican, but i just want to see if yall've noticed this, or if you haven't yet, maybe you will: ONLY REPUBLICAN BLACKS ARE RESPECTED AND TAKEN SERIOUSLY IN POLITICS. seriiously, dude. i think if you want to go far as an afro-merican in politics, you'd have to go as a republican. pennsylvania, a liberal state that went for kerry in 2004, has FORMER PITTSBURG STEELER lynn swan seriously running for governor in 2006...the latest poll shows him and the incumbant democrat in a **** heat....A FRIGGIN' FORMER STEELER? AND LYNN FRIGGIN' SWAN??? that's like randy moss or marvin harrison running for govenor in like 2015... and hows about micheal steeles bid in maryland? he'll be facing the former head of the NAACP, kwame. and what about condi and colin powell?.....dispite thier f ups with the war, many republicans still wish that one of these cats would [put thier name on a ticket...a presidential bid, dude...and i seriously believe had it not been for iraq, these cats would be a shoe in if they ran in 2008...they would have definately had a better shot than jesse jackson/ al sharpton 2008 or even hillary/kerry 2008... SO IS THAT THE DEAL? do you have to be a republican for white folk to take you seriously politically in this country?
