Two African Americans threaten the President on Tweeter

[bigdarryl]

Calling themselves Conservatives who are upset at the signing of health care bill.The Secret Service is still investigating this.

1. So the Secret Service already has them in custody??

I mean, how can you tell if someone is African American by their tweets? :shrug:

"African-American Conservative upset by healthcare bill signing" just sounds so bogus...

2. There are some

black folks who are conservative and most who are put out in view of the media are propped up or driven by special interests aligned with the GOP.

7. There are also some...

...people that claim to be something they aren't, and do so because they can hide behind the anonymity of the Internet or a phone call. CSPAN's morning call-in lines were full of them back in 2008. Loads and loads of people calling in, anonymously, claiming they "used to be a Democrat", but are so disgusted by blah, blah, blah" that they "left the party." Once they started talking, you knew that it was unlikely they were ever Democrats. I could just as easily claim I'm am African American here, and you have no way of proving that I am not one. Can't prove "Conservative African American" is black any more than you can prove that I am or am not.

My bet is that this is nothing but some white wing nut spouting crap in an attempt to discourage African Americans and other Democrats. It's playing right into the "The Democrats are going to lose BIG" meme.

3. If they did they should be in custody.

But, why can't people of color choose their political affiliations freely just as white folks? If someone chooses to be a conservative and happens to be of color why belittle them? I just don't get this POC are idiots unless they are Democrats mindset.

6. Right..anyway..

No Race is free of idiots. The race with the most people probably has the most idiots.
