DUer's of color: Would you stand in line five hours to pay final respects

[CatWoman]

to Bill Clinton?

I can't help but notice the lack of people of color and minorities among Reagan's supporters.

I would most definitely stand in line for that amount of time, and more, to say good bye to Bill.

I would'nt stand in line five minutes to say hello or goodbye to Reagan.

* too for that matter.

[LiberalVoice]

1. I would stand in line for *'s.

So I could spit on it.

[slor]

2. For Big Dog...

I would. As far a RR, I must admit, I am quite proud of the lack of our presence.

3. For Big Dog...

I would. As far a RR, I must admit, I am quite proud of the lack of our presence.

5. It is kind of amazing when you realize he's in "CC."

The local folk are staying away in droves!

(If anyone of color were to be paying Reagan "final respects" it would most likely be "first and final.")

4. I don't know if I can stand in line for five hours for ANYTHING, ANYONE.

As for Clinton, I'd go just to check out the scene. Just being there is paying respect enough for me. I don't need to see the body; I prefer to remember someone as s/he was.

6. Five hours in a line

for Bill is worth it. Being a brown guy I might be Terrar suspect if trying to see RR.

7. Hell I would stand vigil at Clinton's funeral. . .

. . .he is my man! he is my ace! he is my mf! he is the big dawg!

[Generic Other]

8. He thinks we are all welfare queens

that we got all day to waste waiting in line.

I don't remember Reagan saying or doing anything positive for people of color.

9. Yeah, I'd do it

I'm not surprised that there are no Black people in line for Reagan. We couldn't stand him when he was president, and his death doesn't change anything.

10. Yes

I could not do so for Reagan since it is quite clear that he was utterly contemptuous of minorities and poor people.
