People of Color United are running ads on black radio slamming John Fn Kerry as "rich, white and wishy-washy." The Kerry campaign is angered by the ads and said, "It's disgusting that the president's political allies are using race as a political weapon. First a group of right-wing Swift boat veterans began smearing John [I have three purple hearts] Kerry's military service, and now another group has resorted to playing racial politics."

Kerry has never played the race card. Ha Ha Ha! What about when Kerry said to the American Urban Radio Network "President Clinton was often known as the first black president, I wouldn't be upset if I could earn the right to be the second." read more. Many black voters are beginning to realize that the Republican platform is closer to what they believe. Paula Diane Harris, founding chief executive officer of the Andrew Young National Center for Social Change said, "[Kerry] is a privileged white man who has no idea what it is...to be a poor white in this country, let alone a black man." Bush does not know what it is like to be a poor white or a black man, but he does understand the best way to bridge the diminishing divide between black and white America; Equal opportunity not equal outcome. Democrats have tried to purchase the black vote. Democrats have used fear to secure the black vote. What is the BLACK VOTE? I thought what you wanted was the American vote. I believe it is more important to set up equal opportunity and then allow the individual to determine the outcome. That is freedom. |
