		<description>Clinton never was the &quot;first black President&quot;. He was just good at manipulating a large amount of people, and accepting a silly label and riding it out for votes. 
Seriously, those of you who think he was the &quot;first black President&quot;...grow up!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I thought many of those Christian Colleges outlawed interracial dating. Why is that?&lt;/i&gt;

Why is that?  It&#039;s because you&#039;re ignorant, and spout off about things you know nothing about.  The only Bible college I&#039;m aware of that &quot;outlawed&quot; interracial dating is Bob Jones University, and they even dropped the rule, oh, about 7 years ago or so.  Try reading a paper every now and then.</description>

		<description>#33:  They&#8217;re both crazy, but they&#8217;re not racist.

Crazy but not racist?  I thought many of those Christian Colleges outlawed interracial dating.  Why is that?

#33:  But there was no way in hell Bill and Hillary were sending their daughter to a majority black school.

Many Rich Black people don&#039;t send their children to a majority black school.  Why?  Usually, they aren&#039;t as good because, get this, they don&#039;t have as much money.  Shhhh. Don&#039;t let everyone know.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;&quot;Well, Cheryl, I&#8217;ll take the Democrats good-hearted intentions of helping regular folks over the Republicans cold-hearted intentions of helping no one except their rich corporate friends any day.&#039;&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m sorry.... What rich corporate friends do I have again? Anlir, I thought you were more reasonable than to spew innacurate stereotypes.</description>

		<description>#33:  When one observes the audience at the Republican convention, one sees evangelical white people, mostly middle class, with a smattering of blacks. 

That is such a lie.  Shame on you.  They moved ALL the blacks to the front row.  There was NO smattering.  It was one long line.</description>

		<description>Well, Cheryl, I&#039;ll take the Democrats good-hearted intentions of helping regular folks over the Republicans cold-hearted intentions of helping no one except their rich corporate friends any day.

If we had left things to the Republicans of this country, black folk would still be sitting in the back of the bus and segregation would still be the law of the land.

This bleating by conservatives about how we should be &quot;color blind&quot; and treat everyone equally would have some cache&#039; if they had stood up for equality when it counted.  As things stand now, they appear to only want to get rid of things like affirmative action because of their intense dislike of racial equality.

Alan Keyes?  He&#039;s got no chance because he&#039;s mean and hateful.  Good grief - he threw his own daughter out of the house because she&#039;s gay.  No one wants a President who&#039;s that mean toward his own family.

So there.</description>

		<description>Anlir,

Democrats keep minorities &quot;on the plantation&quot; and in the voting booth by saying, &quot;You cannot make it without your loving federal government to stick up for you. You need our money and you need laws that give you more than a level playing field. You just can&#039;t make it on your own. You aren&#039;t strong enough or smart enough.&quot; So yes, as long as one party offers to continue to give away free money, and works to keep its constituents needing those handouts, the two parties will have unbalanced constituencies.

It&#039;s pretty silly, when we have the first race in history to have either a black man or a woman as a serious candidate, to prove that that makes Democrats the good guys. Were Democrats fellow bad guys up till this election? And by the way, perhaps you&#039;ve never heard of Alan Keyes--not a strong contender, but a Republican nominee nonetheless. But of course he&#039;s not &quot;really&quot; black, because liberals think that anyone who doesn&#039;t swallow their party line has forfeited his right to his own skin color--one more evidence of Democrat racism by the way: &quot;Think like us or we won&#039;t consider you black.&quot; How much more demeaning can you get?</description>

		<description>So the church Obama attends gave a &quot;Man of the Year&quot; award to Louis &quot;Mother Ship&quot; Farakahn? You mean that hateful rabidly racist Farakahn? &lt;i&gt;That&lt;/i&gt; Farakahn?

That&#039;s quite an indictment in my opinion.

If I was a member of that church, I&#039;d never attend again, and wouldn&#039;t want to be associated with it in any shape, form, or fashion. Nor would I want it known...</description>

		<description>Anlir, you need to get out more often.

Have you seen a sign on any person at a  Republican Convention saying &lt;b&gt;&quot;I&#039;m an Evangelical&quot;&lt;/b&gt; or do you &lt;b&gt;&#039;guess&#039;&lt;/b&gt; that they are &lt;b&gt;&quot;middle class&quot;&lt;/b&gt; - honestly Anlir, you do &#039;slide down the hill&#039; greased for the occassion, which I might add, &lt;b&gt;you added the oil.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>True enough, the Democratic Party still has it&#039;s racial issues to deal with.  But they&#039;re still light years ahead of the Republican Party.  

For example, if one observes the audience at the Democratic convention, one will see a party that looks like America:  white, black, brown, male, female, country, inner city, religious and not, wealthy, middle class, and poor.  

When one observes the audience at the Republican convention, one sees evangelical white people, mostly middle class, with a smattering of blacks.  

The Democratic field:  a woman, a  black man, a white man.  

The Republican field:  all white men.</description>
