...is this going to make any difference in the black vote? what they don't dig up during campaigns.
WTF is the black vote???
Why do folks inject race, religion, ethnicity, or other 'classifications' into everything? Is it just ignorance, lack of education, or just coming from the shallow end of the gene pool?
We are ALL Americans. One anonymous, color-blind vote each.
What's 'dug up' next? Was some distant relative a Nazi, Indian Fighter, Confederate soldier, or (shudder) a Colonial Tory? Really 'efffin sad mindset there.
As BGnR noted, not a damn thing you can do about the long, distant past.
