Nobody has won the Republican nomination yet, first of all. Secondly, they would have done the same thing because they are Obama supporters.

Your food for thought does not nourish me.

I feel you and I was wrong. I already admitted to that, with an apology.

Girl please, the same thing applies to you, with some of the disrespectful shit you've posted to me.

For those who do not see the irony, it is humorous to claim that race and ethnicity are not a factor for "many of us," and that it is only the exception, but then to offer food for thought that implies the exact opposite.

Definitely quotable.

Well, it doesn't imply the exact opposite -- methinks the food for thought was about "many of them," not "many of us."

That food for thought was about Ghostwriter's own assumptions. His own assumptions makes it about him and not about them.

My food for thought is about what the Kappas and Omegas would do. The article seemed to imply that they were supporting Obama because he was black. There is no or very little mention of his policies. So if Cain had run against him what would they (Kappas and Omegas) do? You would now have a person in a position to be the second black president.

I would vote for Cain in a heartbeat.

What part of the site asks people to vote because he's black?

The mission of 1911 United is to invigorate the electorate across all 12 battleground states to not only take responsibility for educating themselves on the electoral process, but to also encourage all who will listen to re-elect the President of the United States, Barack Obama. Yes, our goals include registering millions of voters. Yes, our goals include recruiting an army of volunteers for President Obama. However, our primary objective in this endeavor is to simply educate voters on the issues most pressing to their financial, social, educational, and occupational outlooks. People need to know who they are voting for and why. People need to be abreast of pertinent issues that will affect our children for years to come. This is why Ques and the Nupes have partnered up to spearhead a new movement for our country, an educationally uplifting and powerful movement. We need YOUR help. Are you in? I’m in!

The article says that the group is looking to get more AAs registered to vote, but that has nothing to do with 1911 United. Most (if not all) of the NPHC organizations take part in civic engagement within the AA community on a regular basis.

That was Ghostwriter's food for thought because race is less the exception than Ghostwriter wanted to admit.

From the first post:

"From there, the two members of each fraternity gave birth to the idea of creating an organization to assist in the re-election efforts of our first African American President, President Barack Obama."

I am still looking for references in these articles to all the great policies he has instituted. But I see very little, if any. If I am wrong, I apologize. It just seemed, to me, that the emphasis was on the fact that he was the first African American President and not on any of his policies. Hence my question about Cain. Who would they support if there are two African Americans running against each other? Maybe not a fair question because it won't happen but it seemed interesting to me.

Well, kitty litter, being Black is not the only thing that counts. So, again, why is this food for your thought?

Well, I was trying to get a specific example based on:

It is not on the website. It is Ghostwriter's assumption that race primarily matters to "them" which means race matters to Ghostwriter more than he was willing to admit.

Here is food for Ghostwriter's thought:

There were Black Presidential hopefuls in the past who did not receive much support from many African Americans across political parties. Herman Cain would be no exception. Cain was not considered a viable GOP hopeful by most Republicans, let alone Democrats; and Cain was not supported by most African-Americans. So, don't have a brain fart over this, why would 1911 United be confused as to whether to support President Obama or Herman Cain?

Au contraire, fellow Black person, 1911 United would obviously be befuddled and perplexed because they were clearly desperate to find a Black person...ANY Black person to support...with TWO Black people to support...whattado?! Whattado?! If Herman Cain was still running and eventually won the Republic nomination (he was never a viable candidate and is no longer running, but let's humor Ghostwriter since he wanted some food for thought), there would be a Black folks riot in the streets as Blacks struggled to process such a Black-on-Black crime. Clearly, the fact that 1911 United are not only supporters of President Obama but probably staunch Democrats would not matter. Having a Black GOP candidate would ruin the equation.

Like Beyonce said, 1 + 1 = 2. What do Black folks do when there are 2?! 2?! 2222222222222....*echo*
