I’m tired of Democrat race-baiting and the way so many African-Americans fall for it.

Right. Too bad those African-Americans are so dumb. And Republicans wonder they can’t make inroads in this segment–here’s a hint: people really, really hate to be condescended to, telling people they are “falling for” the Dem line is sheer patronizing: you imply that you know better what’s in their interest than they do.

Geez.

I kept thinking in all of those Pre-2008 election hype that Newt “might” be the only conservative that….well…actually STAYS a conservative.

I agree with you though, it’s a very bittersweet loss. The phrase “Today, we killed the Patriot Act” kept flashing in my head.

I hope they do learn their lesson as well. Only time will tell of course but it’s prime time for a TRUE conservative to step up to the plate.

If Steele doesn’t win it says alot about Black people.

I think I got a hint of that when Bill Clinton became our “first black president” and Bill Cosby was crucified for his criticism of the African-American community.

Condoleezza Rice is one the most powerful women in the world yet her achievements are ablated or dismissed. It saddens me. She should be a role model.

I’m tired of Democrat race-baiting and the way so many African-Americans fall for it.

Hey what if we payed for the war with Bonds? Can you say “accountability”. Kill ‘em and come home, we got no time for warm fuzzies.

AMEN!!!! While your comments were directed towards many in the black community, your words are really inspiring, REGARDLESS of the color of your skin.

Living in New York, EVERYTHING seems to be somebody elses fault (i.e. Government, leaders, teachers, etc) EXCEPT for the parents.

Thanks for the excellent read though, inspiring words this evening. Now if only the Republicans could relay (and believe) in the same message, tonight wouldn’t have been such a blowout.

Take education for instance. The normal diatribe of white students having an advantage over black students which has evolved to be much more subtle, nuanced accusation. When you have a chance ask a Black person what party and what ideology controls education, the answer of course is Democrat and liberal, yet where is the Black community? Ask them how long does it take? How many decades of good intentions and failed policies does it take? How long until you realize THAT THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS?!?!? The answer to education is accountability, personal involvement, and expectation and there are no exceptions to this rule, none. For evidence research the KIPP academy and the charter schools that Kevin Johnson is running in Sacramento.(I watched a hour special on the state of the Black community on CSPAN and wanted to jump through the screen)

My little cousin has been without my presence for 10 years. He hit highschool and went nuts. My return amazingly brought some sanity to his life. I’m at his school, I’m in his face, I’m checking his homework, etc. That is what makes a difference.

Equality of scale is impossible, the collective progress of the Black community ended with Affirmative Action. Some Black people choose accountability. Some Black people entitlement.

It amazes me that the teachers were talking about Politics today and the black teachers were talking about what an Uncle Tom Steele and Blackwell were. :tard: ++

Oh.Dear.God.

This race had absolutely nothing to do with race and everything to do with George W. Bush, his failed war, and Marylanders refusal to elect a candidate in his party. Is this unfair to Steele? Probably, he is a good man and he will have a bright political future. But to accuse Marylanders, who are more than 30% black, of racism is absurd and appalling.

Yeah it’s not like they repeatedly referred to him as an “oreo” or anything.
