Talk politics.

Equivalence or not (I personally go with... not) I think that African-Americans really have a cause to support Obama when the GOP has repeatedly race-bated it's way through it's campaigns. I could write a novel about what I'm talking about too, there is everything from racial fringe in it's rallies to their ranches being called "N***rhead* to the claims that Obama's a Muslim and must be from Africa etc. etc. No matter what one may think of this, the African American sees it, and they are not pleased. If the other party wants to attract the African-American vote, then they need to figure out how to do that. That's not Obama's problem. That's not the voter's problem. That is the GOP's problem.
