Because to post here saying things like those in your post above leads me makes me think otherwise. If you read posts you would find that most people are independent, a few conservatives, liberals or democrats who are not happy with the way things are within their party. So it's really not necessary to claim people are all about soup kitchens, pain and despair . <br><br>If you are a Republican you will get a lot farther talking about the positive aspects of why you made your choice and why you think more black people should explore the party vs. making negative generalizations about blacks and their place in politics.

If you are a Republican you will get a lot farther talking about the positive aspects of why you made your choice and why you think more black people should explore the party vs. making negative generalizations about blacks and their place in politics.

Joe Biden earned his “ghetto pass” by taking ass-whippings during the Civil Rights movement, when it wasn't popular to be seen in MLK's company, especially if you were an elected official.

As for his comments regarding Obama, you could interpret it either way – the point is, Joe Biden has been down and dirty in the trenches when it mattered.

He kept wing nuts like Robert Bork off the SCOTUS. That earned him his ghetto pass, right there.

Try again, Jibreel; just cause you don't like Obama, and you're a die-hard ReThug, I'm wondering why are you spouting talking points in support of a political party that STILL CONSIDERS YOU 3/5 OF A HUMAN BEING?

Answer that question and we can go from there.

OBAMA'S LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

S.1513: A bill to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to authorize grant programs to enhance the access of low-income African-American students to higher education.

S.1574: A bill to establish Teaching Residency Programs for preparation and induction of teachers.

S.1989 : A bill to provide a mechanism for the determination on the merits of the claims of claimants who met the class criteria in a civil action relating to racial discrimination by the Department of Agriculture but who were denied that determination.

These are just a few of the U.S. Senate bills that have passed that are of particular interest to African-Americans. Of course, Obama has legislative accomplishments in the Illinois senate as well via the law requiring videotaping of homicide interrogations, racial profiling, health care, etc.

Still after the past 8 years you people so desperately want soup kitchen lines, pain and dispear because thats what Democrats feed off of. No one gave a flying fuck about the Kennedys houses or Kerry's married into wealth because they had (D's) next to there names. How about two America's Edwards trial lawyer dirt bag. Its people like you that keep incompetent Mayors in office like Kirkpatrick while blaming the nearest Republican you can find. I know the tricks Democrats play and they work well on you but I'm not fooled or impressed. Its sad, real fucking sad that the Black Community is stuck in a 1964 mindset then they wonder why shit never ever changes even if Blacks are in charge locally.<br>I already took you to school on the housing market and I doubt you are willing to trade in that SUV in the name of a Smart Car?
