I'm no Palin defender, but can we really definitely say who couldn't be elected in a few years? Did anyone in 2006 think an African American could be elected in 2008?Warbler said:
I don't discount history at all. History is a favorite subject of mine. Like I said, I don't doubt that a true Conservative could win someday, just not as soon as 2012 and certainly not Palin(too many people have her pegged as a dope and a quitter). In any case, we'll just have to wait and see what happens then .

Whoa, whoa, that guy is African American?!?! Then how is he President!?!?!
To be serious, I truly hate that title. It is not correct and misleading. I prefer Black American, if anything other than simply an American. I work with an African American who is absolutely white!! His daddy grew up in Africa, he was born there and was brought here soon after he was born. He told me that he's often perplexed as to whether he should check the "African-American" box on forms. I mean, let's be real, the last of my people to live in Mexico was 245 years ago, but you don't see me calling myself a "Mexican-American". You're either one or the other, a Mexican, an African, or an American. And yes, I have several black friends who totally agree with me and usually shout when they are called "African-American".
