That goes back to my earlier post to Senusret I. Either Black folks across political parties will get confused or only 1911 United will get confused. Then 1911 United will work tirelessly to confuse the rest of the Black folks since Black folks are easily confused. Either way, confusion. LOL.

OK. I had to go back and find that post lol

Ghostwriter's insinuation was insulting, and I hope he wasn't intentionally implying that we couldn't favor a candidate and that we were only capable of voting for a race.

ETA: I wonder if that question would have been asked if Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Phi (for example) joined forces to encourage votes for Senator Clinton over Sarah Palin.

It allowed Ghostwriter to show his true colors (there is no pun here). True colors are best shown when people are not consciously trying to convince themselves and others of untruths.

Yes because women are also a power minority. Women are emotional, irrational, illogical, and menstruating creatures. Multiply that by a million when it comes to sociopolitical concerns. Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin** would confuse women and anger men. The bolded is sarcasm, of course, this is fun.

** Sarah Palin is about as viable a candidate as Herman Cain.

We can't help it!

The Black women on Cain's camp were playing on that ignorance. They went on every political show talking about President Obama running again Cain would be an exciting, monumental moment because people could not use race and instead had to make decisions based on political platforms.

Well, clearly, it would have been. Women are also silly and easily confused.

It very well could if Hillary Clinton was the current President and sororities were running a re-election "campaign" for her. The fact that a national fraternity is endorsing a political candidate and party is very interesting to me. What about the men in these groups that are republicans or independents?

The organization is very clear that the fraternities not endorsing Obama, but certain members of the fraternities are.

^^ What he said.

My hypothetical should have read "...members of Gamma Phi Beta..."
