You blacks die earlier, so vote for social security privetisation
Is Bush’s messages to African-Americans, reports Steve Gilliard. Unfortunately for bush, black people aren’t dumb enough to fall for it:
They can’t get a councilman elected. So who would take them seriously about Social Security? A minister endorsing his plan would be laughed out of church by the fund managers, accountants and other financial professionals in their congregations. Who the hell do you think goes to a black church in 2005? Sharecroppers? The larger the church, the educated the congregation. A minister can say what he wants, but their professional training doesn’t go anywhere. Church crosses economic lines and is often filled with educated black professionals. The idea that if you get the minister, the negro will follow happily along was never true and certainly isn’t true in 2005.
The GOP still acts like there is no cable in Harlem and the newspaper isn’t sold in West Philly. When I was a kid, nearly every black adult on the train had a copy of the Daily News or Post and they weren’t reading sports. My mother would by the News in the morning and my father would buy the Post when he came home, and I’d buy Newsday from time to time. The GOP acts as if black people don’t make independent political decisions and inform themselves on politics. As long as they patronize, all they will get is greedy ministers and black people so weak that they can’t speak for themselves.
