    So, black people were better off as slaves than under Obama? and Bachmann signed onto this?


    Iowa conservative Bob Vander Plaats and his advocacy group, The Family Leader, removed a reference to slavery from their anti-gay-marriage pledge.

    The pledge, part of a trend to pin down politicians on a variety of issues, has the backing of two Republican presidential candidates.

    Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President.”

    If you start blindly signing on to oaths of fealty to ideas, you should read the fine print.

    Given that I think a lot of conservatives seem to have trouble with critical thinking and reading comprehension, this just falls into my confirmation bias. Prove I'm wrong. :p

    Its kind of sad when people who put their signature and vote to particular do ents don't actually read them. I wonder how many bills she has actually read.

    It's sad that what I see in society makes me believe this statement. However, us whites aren't much better when it comes to having children raised by both parents.

    Her statement is more of a negative towards the black community as a whole than a positive towards slavery. However, a white anti affirmative action person said it so it must be racist.

    It is sad how effective and efficient the left is at using the race card. It's funny how most of them are rich whites who lived in suburbs 'segregated' with all whites. Bachmann on the other hand has fostered 30+ children, with some of those kids being black.

    Wow...

    Do you live in somebody's basement?

    Get out and see life for yourself. You will see it's essentially true. You see very few blacks in richer neighborhoods.

    When I was a mail carrier, I delivered to a richer neighborhood. There were so few blacks there, I don't recall seeing any there.

    Yes, I get that. That is not the nugget I'm asking for a source on.

    I did notice one interesting tidbit. I would say about 90% of the voter registration cards I delivered were of democrat registration.

    The most "progressive" cities are Lilly white.

    But it is extremely stupid to sign your name to something before reading it. Like Obamacare.

    The progressive paragon of Portland is the whitest on the list, with an African American population less than half the national average. It is America's ultimate White City. The contrast with other, supposedly less advanced cities is stark.
    Hey...

    I've been right calling Portland the capital of the North-Left coast!

    Wow look at all the suburbs in that article!

    Anyway, so what exactly is the point you guys are driving at? If these cities had higher black populations, they'd skew more conservative? Why would that be?

    Seriously? How about the majority of the Dem leadership neighborhoods they grew up in.

    Progressive whites love minorities. They just don't want to live next to them.

    Your point seems to be that the left isn't exposed to a lot of black people. As if to imply conservatives know black people better.

    That explains all those liberal rich suburban areas.

    As opposed to hating minorities and not wanting to live with them either?
