another fact...the electoral college represents the "black vote" by LESS THAN 50%. i don't think i need to do that math for anyone....do i?
lastly, this jabber about "african" and "african american" culture is absolutely stupid. here's a news flash for some of you....MAJORITY OF AMERICAN BORN BLACKS, DON'T KNOW ABOUT THEIR TRUE HERITAGE.....ok...? the things that "define" us (such as different speech, foods, etc.) are things that were derived from....i'll give you one guess....
........SLAVERY!!!.......
soul food...africans don't cook no damn soul food. that's from slaves getting the LEFTOVER SHIT the masters didn't want. this "ebonics" that "they" have, comes from not having the opportunity to fair education, whipped for reading, etc....the same shit that "they" should "get over" is something black people still live with TODAY, whether you were a slave or not.
banginjimmy, we're cool...and i completely understand where you're coming from, but the difference is...you can tell me about your great great grandparents from your mom's side back in WWI days...you know what i can tell you about mine??? not a damn thing. YOU ARE 100% CORRECT when you say people shouldn't hold that against "the white man." i guess the thing is, it's frustrating when you have people who pretend like shit just wasn't bad for black people, and when you have people who still hold that old "slave master" mentality.
and for the dude complaining because nobody at the "black club" looked at him...WHO CARES??? maybe you're just ugly, which has absolutely nothing to do with your race....just a thought...
