Presidential Politics '04: The "Black Vote" Does it Exist?

[Lady of Pearl]

I don't believe either candidate represents or is concerened about the Black population especially when neither showed up at the recent NAACP convention, that was telling. Though I registered as a Democrat years ago, I'm becoming more of an independent-looking at each candidate and where they stand on the issues, I am more concerened about that and where they stand morally also, on abortion and gay marriages,which as a Christian I am opposed to. So, it will be very difficult for me to make a decision. I agree with someone earlier who said Blacks are not monolithic in their thinking and there are a majority of us who are trying to vote consciously.
