No, its a generalization. Blacks have the second lowest average income out of all America's "racial" groups so just saying lower class is an easy way not to go into a 2 page report covering my ass.


After second thoughts, we are probably both talking about the around the same thing Merc but that I rarely believe that a politician acts like himself or herself so I naturally jump to an "so an so is putting on a front" conclusion. It will be impossible to tell.

What? Just as McCain realized that he'd better not act "like a poor Southern cracker," or he would have no chance of winning the election? Look at how Bubba shot the jukebox.

I might or who might what? I have no idea what you are talking about but if you are going to use unnecessary expletives I guess I should move on to more intelligent conversation.

I would agree but I am trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. I want to believe his intentions are honorable and his path will be true. He has some huge expectations to fill IMHO.

Good saying either way I think.

How curious. Why? You implied you might do that. Why did you not vote - for them or for anyone?

So he could grouse about whoever won, and say I didn't vote for him. It's a cop out.
