Ok, Ok, while on the subject of apologizing, I apologize to Pioneer for not being able to resist making a personal attack on him. I realize that too often my responses are laced with ad-hominem remarks because I get such a fiendish delight out of sticking pins in windbags. I'm sure that Troy probably notices this, but as the HNIC of this site, it would never occur to him to apologize for my behavior. He is a reasonable and judicious man. Some years back, President Clinton who, if anybody, is in a position to speak on behalf of his people, issued an apology to African Americans for the 400-year enslavement of their ancestors. Thanks, Bill. A "thank you", is the best I can do. My apologizing to you for the bad behavior of black people, is not an option. The legacy of slavery still resonates throughout black America and its present day victims include those languishing on the ghetto plantations. For this I am sorry.

For a quick second i entertained the idea the Black people would be more successful if they would stop being so beholden to the Democrat Party and kind of balance thier votes between the Democrats and Republicans to make both parties fight on behalf of our interests. But now, since both parties get so much of thier funding from the rich and could care less for the support of the "little man".....I don't think that strategy would be very effective anyway. I'm neither a registered Republican NOR Democrat because I think both parties have policies that are not only NOT in the best interests of AfroAmericans, but now aren't even in the best interests of the American people in general.
