I just want to state for the record I am neither democrat nor republican. In fact I despise both parties for what they epitomize and feel that neither one reflects my beliefs and views. For too many years, African Americans have swallowed hook, line and sinker, the mantra of the Democratic Party and have yet to see any visible results. We have avoided the Republican Party – for good reason, but have settled for the lesser of two evils. The democrats do not really heed the political disquiet of African Americans.
Just as the republicans, they consider us as second tier citizens who are only worth anything until it is time to vote. I feel that there is a natural love hate relationship with the African American community and the Democratic Party, this maybe due to our brainless allegiance to the party formulated as a consequence of the civil rights movement. It may also be the product of African Americans being out front and visible in the party as well as their overt display of African Americans running for political office.
For me, I consider myself to be a libertarian. I value more than anything else my personal freedom and do not desire or need to see government take care or protect me from myself. I consider myself to be a sovereign citizen as outlined in the 14th amendment which states “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Therefore, if I do decide to vote, it will not be for Kerry or Bush, I will vote for constitutional scholar and computer expert Michael Badnarik. I believe as most Libertarians that there is too much government regulation and spending, which as an outcome, destroys jobs and increases unemployment. I also believe that the government as an institution does not grant rights it acknowledges them and is also servant to the people or voting populous. When will we learn that neither the republicans nor democrats have the interest of African Americans as a main feature of their platforms?

u loss folk with that god
i hear you, BELIEVE ME. i actually got into an argument with my parents prior to the last presidential election because i told them the democrats didn't give a crap about black folk any more than the republicans did. then i told them i wasn't voting for kerry. my mom blew a gasket!
she said a vote against kerry was a vote for bush, regardless of who i voted for. i countered by telling her as long as folks vote either one or the other of two parties, america's always gonna be jacked up. the break up of the two-party system has to start somewhere, right?
btw, if you really want to piss black folks off, tell them clinton didn't give a damn about us either. my parents are still pissed off at me about that little remark.
