<<<So don't you think your guy Obama lied when he said that it was *not long ago* that a person who looked like him could not vote or that voting would be made difficult for him in this country.>>

Let me give "thanks" where "thanks" is due! And that thanks goes to you, MPH! For all these years I thought the poll tax, literacy test and hiding the location for voting, placing polling sites in buildings that a Black couldn't enter, was done to keep the blacks from voting, just a few decades ago. I now know it was done to keep the white voters from voting.
Thanks, man! You know som' history, dude! Thanks for sharing!!!

Damn it mph! You always manage to say in 1/10 the words I use to make the point clear.

:-)

Well said!
