Interesting statistic I just heard on NBC nightly news.

[Jamison]

Tim Russert was just reporting on *'s approval ratings. We all know it's around 39% for the general population. What was interesting however, was that *'s approval rating was 2%. YES, two percent among African-Americans. Blacks obviously can see through bullshit better than everyone else as a group IMO.

1. that number probably went WAY down after the Katrina NOLA response

2. And Condi would win a 1/3 of that vote if she ran for Prez!!!!

[goclark]

4. No way ~ she is hated by at least 80% of the Black Community

We wish she was not a sell out because she could be a real leader, but she hears her Masters voice.

3. You mean that 2% of the African Americans in this country actually approve

of Bush? They must all be related to Condi Rice, Blackwell, and Clarence Thomas

[BlueEyedSon]

5. Are you kidding? They ARE Condi Rice, Blackwell, and Clarence Thomas!!!

6. I was wondering about that...

:rofl:

8. Don't forget Larry Elder.

7. I imagine it would be hard to hold patriotic delusions as a

black person in the US. As a people, blacks have just been sold out too many damn times. Like that "Tuskegee experiment" back in the 50's, when the government intentionally infected black men with syphilis and withheld treatment, simply to study the progression of the disease.

Tell most white people about that and they think it's a kooky conspiracy theory.

9. Well Bill Bennett lost the few left after the Katrina debacle.....

and I'm not sure that Colin Powell would even be part of the 2% at this point.
