The idea that "black" people can't use them is just insulting. I thought that democrats were supposed to be the party that supported and cared for those of African descent, and yet here they are insulting their intelligence.

That is a misconception that I wish could be dispelled.
1. Republican Abraham Lincoln is the one that signed te Emancipation Proclamation.
2. Ever heard the term 'Southern Democrat'?
3. The pro-segregationist party that was formed during the 50s and 60s were the dixie'crats'...not dixie'cans'.
4. Might I remind (or inform) everyone, Democrat Robert Byrd of West Virginia was a card-carrying member of the KKK (though this is just 1 man's choice).

I think there are 2 reasons people think that democrats are for blacks:
1. Democrat Lyndon Johnson is the one that signed the Civil Rights acts of the 60s.
2. Because activists like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton say the republicans are evil.
