Answer 1

I think there are more African American in the Democrat party then republicans. Ironically there use to be more in the republican party.

Wow.  I didn't expect much but that's incredibly low.  The GOP is so big in the south I'm amazed there aren't more diverse groups from that area.

Answer 8

why are you not blasting this report as racially motivated?  Since when is it okay to segregate and enumerate based on color of skin?????

Give it up!  The democratic party is racially motivated and only support Obama because of his skin.

Thanks for showing what is really important in politics as far as the democrats are concerned.

Answer 9

Be careful!  You're going to have them all running over here and calling you a racist and a bigot for asking that question!!
