****Stats taken from: http://www.saveus.org/
Since you chose to pick and choose what statistics you wanted to post, I went to YOUR website (http://www.saveus.org/) and also found the following:

• 70% of African-Americans do NOT live below the poverty line.
• 61% of middle-class Blacks own stock.
• 40% live in suburban neighborhoods.
• ½ trillion dollars/year generated and circulated.
• Several named as wealthiest individuals in the nation.
• Black households earning over $100,000/yr. increased tenfold since 1960's.
• 39 black members of Congress - 8 times as many as 1964.
• More than ½ of 50 states, including Washington D.C., have black mayors.
• Blacks are directors of major corporations, university presidents, astronauts, political leaders and military generals.
Who would have believed an African American (Glenn Plummer) would be Chairman/CEO of the National Religious
Broadcasters and (Colin Powell) US Secretary of State?
• The number of Blacks with high school and college diplomas tripled since 1960's.

I just ask that if you want to tell it, tell the whole, unbiased story.

For some reason, you really seem determined to separate yourself from the pack, which is cool, I guess. However, I'm sure there are many conservative, Republican, African Americans who claim to love the Lord around here. The difference is, they aren't constantly screaming, "Look at me.... please look at me..... I swear I'm different!". I think THAT'S why no one is choosing to engage you in debate.
