the idea of having a party just for black americans is just as offensive as standing up and saying "ok now, there are too many minorities in our party now, they don't understand what we are trying to accomplish. so as of now, we are establishing a new 'whites only' party" anybody who did that should be tarred and feathered. political issues are not a "black problem", "brown problem", or a "woman's problem" they are "PROBLEMS"
life in america (or anywhere) will never be perfect, but the more people try to separate themselves according to any classification, the more fragmented our society will become and it just becomes a viscious cycle.

Welcome to the Cellar, Lookout.

You make an excellent point, it seems that everyone has to add a qualifier before American these days.
BTW,
Slate wasn't impressed with Condi.
