The black vote doesn't matter, Syc. I'm not sure it ever did. It's the Hispanic vote that
causes pollsters and political strategists to wake up screaming and drenched in cold sweat.

Hmm...I have a feeling that once the politicians are "through" with Latinos , they'll have no more use for them. "Sure, we NEED your votes...that's it...vote for us, you won't be sorry!" :p

As far as the black vote is concerned, if it doesn't matter, then why should "we" even bother? That's probably WHY blacks don't come out in huge numbers. As much as the NAACP and others try to get "us" to vote, many blacks have just given up, especially the older ones...after all, many of them had to deal with segregation and laws inacted to keep them from existing as human beings in this country. So, a part of me doesn't blame them for NOT even wanting to give one good goddamn about voting...BUT...at the same time, I wish that they would. IMO, it would make a hell of a difference.
