Dear Esteemed Colleagues the information presented was more of a historical piece to address the myth concerning Black Republicans. I respect your right to decide to vote the way you want, and I sincerely hope you can understand and respect mine; after all this is America. Also, there are many facts I could have presented and argued. However, I chose to list them because they dared to decide on their own to be in the party of their choice rather than the so-called Democratic party; the party some people say is the only party for Black people. Do you feel the Democratic party is the only party for Black people? If so, why? Also, what have the Democrats done to significantly change the plight of Black people in America? What impact have they had in your individual lives? Please explain the blind devotion. I look forward to your reply. All the best, tonia renee lee

Im not on any party why is that because for the 7 almost 8 years where i have become politically aware its been a republican ruled America......and this is one thing i hate.....who cares what they do for black people.....ARE U SERIOUS...its about us as a people not to divide it up into race everything should be equal benifiting not just black people but EVERYBODY in America...and thats what many people are confused on.....we make or break ourselves....there are so many tools to build ourselves up to a certain point but there are few black people that break that point and its a lot of hard work many of us dont want to put up with......so in the end Sweetheart u are the one with this blind devotion just because u feel as if they are the one going for black people....thats the least of my problems when i get to that point in my life when its time for me to break through u better believe they wont have time to look at my race because theyll be too amazed with my resume. So far to me in MY opinion ur arguement is invalid due to the fact u havent presented information that can benifit me as an american not neccesarily a black american.....and lets be realistic for a change .....thats all i have to say for now
