If Blacks would vote Republican, or tell their democratic slavemasters to give them vouchers or say good-bye to your next term, let's see if their child wouldn't get to go to a real school. The issue is not Bush's plan, but the people involved. I know about social promotion. That's a liberal, democratic agenda to promote self-esteem over stupidity. Go to a predominantly Black school and see how our children are acting. I will tell you: like a bunch of fools.
Bush's tax cuts put more money in my pocket than one of Clinton's tax increases. If Bush had his way, our Black women would be having their babies instead of killing them, and tracking down those sorry Black boys who got them pregnant and make them pay child support. It would also make those boys and girls think twice before fornicating. The Dems attitude toward the Black community reminds me of that old Stevie Wonder song, "You Haven't Done Nuthin"

Iconoclastic you bring up some very good points...and so did President Bush in his address to the Urban League...its funny how since he made some very good points..no one really wants to respond or talk about it. Our community is famous for making excuses for our shortcomings and blaming everybody else except ourselves. Its but so much a government policy can do i.e. NO Child left behind..when our families are not taking care of business at home. You want to know why OUR children are being left behind???? (Here comes my Soap Box)
*Because 70% of all black children are born out of wedlock
*Because 62% of black families with children are headed by a single parent
*Because 85% of black children do not live in a home with their fathers
*Because Only 15%-20% of black children born today will grow up with two parents until age 16.
* Because Over 80% of long term child poverty occurs in broken or never married homes.
*Because Black men in America engage in polygamous relationships 3 and 1/2 times that of White or Hispanic.
* Because "The Black Family has crumbled more in the last 30 years than it did the entire 14 decades since slavery" - Dr. Julian Hare, Dir. - San Francisco Black Think Tank.

I've said this before, Its not about party, ...I just think it's sickening that the black community has so much allegiance to a party that in my opinion does more to add to the problems than solve them.
