Hillary Clinton was getting much of the black vote in early polling because she (and Bill) were well known and respected. So that shows that Obama's policies got through and were supported. In the same way, women won't vote for Palin just because she has ladies' bits. BMJC - South Africa was a very violent place during the apartheid era. Pretoria (the capital) and Johannesburg were safe if you were in the elite but the country had almost as much gun crime as the USA. The _second_ most important thing that happened with majority rule was the "Truth and Reconciliation Commission". The TRC was quite successful in revealing the truth of atrocities committed by both sides. "5392 people were refused amnesty and 849 were granted amnesty, out of 7112 petitioners (there were a number of additional categories, such as withdrawn). [wikipedia]" I can see Obama's mindset as more truth and reconciliation and less like the king of the looters in a chaotic dystopia. BTW "Paint the White House Black" was a song from George Clinton; and member of Artists United Against Apartheid, strangely enough. I think it was a comment about "Chocolate City" Washington D.C. and like most things from the crazy hairdresser intended to be funny and thought-provoking. So I wouldn't worry too much about it. m.long – AFAIK Blacks didn’t start voting for Obama in big numbers until he proved that they had more than the colour of his skin in common.

Now the rest of the US is going to look like Detroit, the problem isn't necessarily Obama or blacks, although they won't help, the problem is how uppity the niggers are going to be once they get a black president.

Go open one, you dummy. RFK was the brother of JFK. He, too, was murdered. It happened in June 5th of '68, when he was running for president. Hilary was talking about that, not JFK, who was actually president when he got killed. Thanks for your support. You suck:
