At least since I don't know they're going to set out to take away my individual liberties I have some hope.
I know I should care, but I feel as if there is no place in America for people like me anyway. Maybe one day there will be, but right now there is not. In some people's minds I don't even exist: a Black woman from an upper middle class home who earned scholarships to both law and engineering school- yeah right- all they see is statistic. I don't expect Roberts or Miers to better that- so really its almost nonimportant to me because Bush is giving what I'd expect and what those who gave him the presidency want him to give.
I just get to work and wait for day I count.

For the black race to matter more in American politics, you need to vote more for Republican candidates.
That's not a joke.
When you're split more evenly among parties, those politicians tend to offer you more to get the balance of the population to swing in their favor.
So the next time you are voting, remember that, and vote Republican
