African Americans

AND WILL THEY SAY nobody could have foreseen the weakness of the levees?

For the first time, Washington D.C. has collected data on H.I.V. and found that in the nation's capital, the "modern epidemic"—as the Washington Post calls it—is now primarily one affecting blacks.

The numbers most starkly illustrate HIV's impact on the African American community. More than 80 percent of the 3,269 HIV cases identified between 2001 and 2006 were among black men, women and adolescents. Among women who tested positive, a rising percentage of local cases, nine of 10 were African American. [...]

The District's AIDS rate is the worst of any city in the country, nearly twice the rate in New York and more than four times the incidence in Detroit, and it has been climbing faster than that of many jurisdictions. [...]

And big propz must go to the woman who dares try and change the world, as well as shout out the truth as she lives and sees it:

Oh hell no!

Did Tom Joyner diss Giuliani, Romney and all the others that snubbed the forum AND gave a shout out to the Jena Six?

CORNELL! The baddest muddafrugger in the house!

Ok, I am shocked right now that Brownback has said that the United States needs to draft legislation apologizing for slavery. This is the same man that wants to ban abortion top to bottom.

Bob Cox just said, "i think we can agree that Alan Keyes is Tavis Smiley's revenge on the GOP".

AWESOME!

I want to smack Tom Tancredo. And I really want to rough up that asshole called Alan Keyes.

It is official, Tom Tancredo with his anti-immigrant rants, and with his equating the welfare system with being black, has officially become the most hateful guy of the night.

The only half congent think Keyes has said : "GWB focused too much on democracy in Iraq instead of focusin on security here in the US".

Huckabee and Brownback are the only ones that come across as moderates ... that is, until they open their mouths to talk about abortion.

POST DEBATE COMMENTS
There are so many candidates in the republican side that I am actually quite happy that neither Romney, Giuiliani, Thompson and MacCain stayed home.

I think that Huckabee and Brownback had a chance to shine. Huckabee lost me when the talked about the "abortion genocide". That comment was so extreme that I am going to have to give the forum/debate to Brownback --and he's as hateful on abortion and gay rights as the worse of them.
