But like I told you before, if black folks never voted for candidates that did us wrong, we'd never vote for anybody

Liberals want to forget their generally miserable record on anything to do with race.

White leftists too, for that matter, though all of the truly racially open (political) movements have been on the far left, so it's a little different.

Same goes for gender and identity equality issues.

i wanted to know if it was because you thought she could win or you just liked her better JI7 Oct 2015 #20

I liked her better. You are right though, at the time I also did not think Obama could win. Tipperary Oct 2015 #21

What was about Obama BACK THEN, not now, that had you not supporting him randys1 Oct 2015 #25

You obviously have a direct line to Hillary and her plans in regard to drones. Tipperary Oct 2015 #32

Staying there is wrong, I agree. I believe HIllary will also and your remark about her and randys1 Oct 2015 #34

I am not a gambler. Hillary has not even been elected yet, so I think I will wait until she is Tipperary Oct 2015 #36
