LARRY ELDER ON POLICIES, NOT COLOR

Larry schools the ignorant in answer to this question: "....To endorse John McCain, a person who will not make it easier for the underprivileged, is just too much. How can a fellow black American feel this way?"

"...Do you have any Republican friends, let alone black ones? If so, how many of them want to make it harder "for the underprivileged"?

You also might want to familiarize yourself with the history of the Democratic and Republican parties, and see which party has stood up longer for the rights of people of color. Do you know that Democrats opposed the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution – abolishing slavery, granting citizenship rights to newly freed slaves, and guaranteeing the right to vote (at least on paper) to blacks, respectively?"

Like my mother always said, "All that glitters ain't gold."
