What does that have to do with the price of beans?

In fact I have been to the heartland. Unlike Obama, I am familiar with the United States.

For a lawyer, you are using strange reasoning-----

You are assuming that because there are no or few African-Americans or Americans of Hispanic heritage in Idaho that North Idaho is full of skin heads and whatever the other term was that you used.

You then link these negative terms to inflame opinion against Idaho and against Governor Palin who was born there.

Kenneth that is really pretty low; I thought you were a better person than stooping to infer that because North Idaho is predominantly white people there is something wrong with Idaho.

No more Idaho Potatoes for you.

Sign me up! What did they think of having a dishonest liberal Democrat in their midst? Relieved your stay was temporary, I'm sure.

It is one of the most politically conservative places in the US.

....."Have you ever been to Northern Idaho? I was there last summer. There are almost no African-Americans and almost no Hispanics".....

ABOUT THE MUSEUMThe Idaho Black History Museum was founded in 1995 and currently is the only African American history museum in the pacific northwest.
The museum's purpose is to build bridges between cultures to explore issues that affect Americans of all cultures and ethnicities.

The Idaho Black History Museum is housed in the former St. Paul Baptist Church Building. St. Paul is one of two African American churches that were founded by Boiseans in 1908. St. Paul was built in 1921, and is one of the oldest buildings constructed by Idaho African Americans. When the St. Paul congregation moved to a new church in 1993, the historic church was donated to a preservation committee, which formed to save and restore the 72-year-old building.

Like Everett WA. Why did you live and vacation in all white enclaves?
