"To anonymous above me - McCain isn't getting our vote, that's why we don't question him. If Barack wants our vote, he should have to answer to us too."
As a Black man who is old enough to remember the sacrifices that we endured to make this moment in history possible, I'd like to say, without equivocation, that what these young brothers did was flat-out stupid--and it clearly demonstrates why Black people are at the very bottom of every heap I can think of.
But I won't just make assertions, let me describe just how stupid it was. If you're about to be lynched, and a brother comes to your rescue, then just as he's taking the rope away from around your neck, are you going to ask, "Wait a minute, my man, before you touch this rope--why haven't you spoken out in support of Affirmative Action?" Hell no! But that's exactly what these stupid ass brothers, and many stupid ass Black people are doing during this election.
I simply can't believe how stupid and shortsighted many of our people are proving themselves to be. It goes beyond stupid--it's a national embarrassment to every Black person with a brain.
I've always suspected that we had a problem, but I now see that it goes farther than that--some of us are sick!
Those hecklers provided McCain with the best moment he's had during this election. Their actions were Naderian in its stupidity. McCain couldn't have paid for better publicity if he had hired those brothers. They might as well had carried a sign saying,
"DOWN WITH BLACK PEOPLE. WE'RE TOO STUPID TO HAVE RIGHTS."
