It wouldn't signal shit because the question would be "what particular candidate".Originally Posted by j2k4
I leave symbols for the symbol-minded.
Keep in mind that a conservative black winning doesn't surprise me.
It would be demographics.
Conservatives may vote for him because he's conservative.
Blacks because he's black.....and that fact isn't lost with conservatives.
Colin Powell might have won by a landslide.
Politicians and parties push for certain candidates or appointments based on
their similar views AND their race.
It's like their way of saying, "see, hispanics are ok with us."
However, I think it's pure genius to surround yourself with "like-minded" minorities. It's about appearance and vote getting.
btw I think anyone is an Uncle Tom if they benefited from certain liberal policies and then turn on those policies after they get their powerful positions.
It's easy to talk shit to folks in the gutter when you're at the top of the mountain.
