VERY VERY good point Rudey. Some people want it both ways...they want to say there are no problems in the black community (any different from other communities) but at the same time they want to know how a candidate plans on reaching out to specific problems that face the african american community... I think some people get caught up in the debating that they don't realize what they're saying doesn't make sense.

Now having dialogue about the problems of the black community and what to do about them has someone been turned into "I'm better than those negros" attitude?? Ok, I am officially SMH now. All this because of WHERE this thread is? I guess this is the same thing as Bill making his comments in front of a non-black audience as he did with his first speach.

Dang girl, you're the only person I can quote and don't have much to add!
