I found out recently that ancestors of mine were apes who lived in Africa.
Are descendents of apes allowed to vote?

I recently learned that Palm Beach County has changed the voting system in an attempt to prevent that very thing.

It makes no diff to me but it does to some to exploit. I say let sleeping dogs lie. It was probably more information than we needed to know along with all the other crap they dig up on politic figures.

So says the person who started the thread. Your poor little uninformed Texas widow schtick is growing old Sam.

OMFG, we're related!

[quote Panopticon]WTF is the black vote???
Votes cast by black people/the black constituency. It's not rocket science.

[quote Panopticon]Why do folks inject race, religion, ethnicity, or other 'classifications' into everything?
Because it's already there. For the last 20,000 years. Ignoring it won't make it go away.

[quote Panopticon]We are ALL Americans. One anonymous, color-blind vote each.
You're living in a dream world if you really believe that. I know my vote in the 2000 election in Florida wasn't counted.

By that standard we're all related to Dick Cheney. Sleep on that without waking in a cold sweat.

Barack Obama said (though not specifically pertaining to the op's question):

"There is a ridiculous assumption that somehow the black community is so unsophisticated that the minute you put an African American face on the screen, they say that's our guy,"

So now we're responsible for everything our really lazy, cheap and stupid dead ancestors did?
