Not to mention the Howard Stern experiment that clearly showed +80% of blacks could care less about issues being they were totally ignorant about what their candidate stood for.......

It was in the same vein as John Stossel going to the Capitol Mall and showing pictures of Supreme Court Justices and others (including Judge Judy) to tourists (all white). Very few could identify the Justices. All could identify Judge Judy.

I'm starting to think a short civics test should be required of anyone who wants to vote.
