What's your point?

The point is that your comparison is extremely offensive to the
descendants of slaves.

No, that is a false generalization.

No, it's the widely held view in the black community. You can find
*individuals* who deviate from that view, but the *MAINSTREAM* BLACK
view is that such comparisons are specious AND highly offensive


Well said. Though black America has been lulled and conditioned to vote
for
liberal Democrats, they remain, as a group, largely socially
conservative.

Same with Mexican-Americans, and probably most other
Latino immigrant groups.

It's a testament to Republican ham-handedness, and a
partly factual perception of the Republicans as
xenophobic, that Latino voters still vote as heavily
Democratic as they do.


It's just as much a testament to the craftiness of the liberal Democrats
that they're able to sufficiently pander to groups that are otherwise
diametrically opposed to a left-wing agenda. Hell, maybe in their own
perverse way they really *are* about diversity. Their voting blocs
certainly span a wider social spectrum than the Republicans'. After all,
how many union steel workers do you see wearing Birkenstocks?
