the Reps, however committed to racial equality any given Rep is, have tied themselves to a racist element in the population.

There are racists everywhere. I would call the Dem leaders who promise AAs the sun, moon, and stars yet deliver nothing racist. Subtly so, but still racist.

I have not yet seen any black figure become prominent in Kerry's campaign.

I live in a city which is 70% black and in which politics are controlled by blacks. I am routinely affected by racism against whites. I also see racism by lighter skinned blacks against those of darker hues. In fact, I would say the latter is much more prevalent than the former, though it may be due simply to statistics.

The issues are not at heart racial, but economic. In this sense, the GOP has a lot more to offer blacks than the Demos. IMO, anyway.
