"So...African Americans aren't real Americans, Mr. Turtleman, sir?"

...African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans."

Amerikkka, for yrs, that this is the real amerikkka. Nothing that is happening today surprises us. Matter of fact, more and more financially able blacks are looking to become expats. When we said we were leaving, friends thought we were nuts, now many have left, or are looking into leaving, and not just oldsters, like us. Even hearing of young ppl leaving cuz they want to have kids, but not in amerikkka. One of my former nursing students sent me pics of her newborn, fr her new home, in Costa Rica.
