Actually, most people end up in office elected by a minority of people. After all many do not vote and the rest just get split. Dubyette had, what, 60 million votes which is 20% of the population. I'm guessing that about 3/4ths of our population are of voting age so that's about 1/4th of adults. With gerrymandering, it skews the 'democracy' even further. You're the racist. You automatically give Condie special treatment for her dark beigeness and, probably, her gender. I don't. I measure everyone by the same yardstick. If white people want to enroll in a predominantly black college then I think they should be admitted if they qualify. I don't see a big surge in this activity, do you? You don't really understand minorities do you? You also don't understand math. Exactly how much preferential treatment do you think minorities receive in the US? From what I've observed, minorities receive very little preferential treatment. How do you know blacks are departing the Democratic party? There are still more Dems than Republicans and I suspect Republicans will be crossing over to vote Dem the next time around.
