I made that my signature, not because Sharpton is my candidate, but because I've thought for years that the Democratic Party doesn't have a clue about how close they are to losing the Black vote. Sharpton's comment is right on and I put it as my signature so that more people would think about it.

It's coming in particularly handy now. It's how Black people have felt for a long time after having our votes be taken for granted for so long.

I'm glad you pointed it out though because that's exactly what Black people may tell Dean soon- we're not taking you to the dance because you want to go home with a bunch of (confederate flag-waving) right-wingers.

Honestly. Think about that... Sharpton made thatcomment a while back- before Dean's mis-speak...

Sharpton doesn't intentionally inflame racial tension. The only people who say that are, no offense, White people who want so desperately to believe that there is no racial tension.

Sharpton's just the messenger. It's unfortunate people don't want to listen to him- it may prove a very costly mistake.
