You'll make top $$ if you can do a "black people are doing xxx" even without the tiniest, most minuscule bit of evidence to support your thesis!

Just write "so and so said that black people are doing xxx" and even if not ONE SINGLE SOLITARY POLL, article, blog post or piece of measurable data supports this theory, you'll have tons of $$ from those pie in the sky wishful thinkers that think that polls and data and facts are for chumps!

Just paint this dude black and here's your mascot!

party.

but looks like it's not just the republican party that this type of shit appeals to.

another reason for the need to believe clinton lost the black vote is to not acknowledge Obama won the black vote and how Obama is loved and supported by the black community. they want to believe black people voted for Obama just because they came to hate clinton.

I've spent way to much time arguing this and never could sum it up so succinctly.

"another reason for the need to believe clinton lost the black vote is to not acknowledge Obama won the black vote and how Obama is loved and supported by the black community. they want to believe black people voted for Obama just because they came to hate clinton."

Everybody wants to believe that their favorite is everyone's favorite and their boogeyman is everyone's boogeyman.

Most learn that is not the case by Middle School.

Better yet, why not submit a couple of articles to H.A. Loserman over at "News You shouldn't Believe"
