		<description>Margaret,
You gave your opinion of why blacks &quot;don&#039;t enter the Republican party&quot; and I gave mine.  Let&#039;s leave it at that.

The purpose of the quote was to show you why African Americans were &quot;hissing&quot; at your black Republican co-worker.

Sorry if my response &quot;disappointed&quot; you. I&#039;m also sorry you feel the need to resort to calling me &quot;lame&quot; because you don&#039;t like my response.   It&#039;s typical of the GOP to resort to name calling, personal attacks and insults when the substance of their arguments fail.</description>

		<description>I guess I should have said I am pretty disappointed. Can you never answer a direct question? It&#039;s not as if I ask you the meaning of life. I got the quote from Watts&#039; father the first time. My post #33 had 4 separate subjects, you ignored them all. The quote has nothing to do with any of them. Then to avoid any real thought or discussion you add &quot;End of subject for me.&quot;  I guess I&#039;ll repeat myself now, pretty lame.</description>

J.C. Watts’ father said,

“A black man voting for Republicans, is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders” 

End of subject for me.</description>

		<description>First, why do you say &quot;so called black Republican woman?&quot; Do you think I am lying?
2nd, all people hiss, they also bark, roar, and squeek. It&#039;s called figurative language. It was not a racist remark.
She too thought her political party was the reason she was treated so poorly. We were a small and fairly friendly crowd so her treatment stuck out pretty badly.
Finally, feel free to retract your statement that I would run someone off regardless of the party or the persons race.</description>

		<description>Oh, It&#039;s ok. I figured you weren&#039;t really thinking. Also, You will notice, I put they &quot;nearly hissed.&quot; (If you spend much time with women, you will notice that some do hiss pretty often.) I am pretty certain of the source of the animosity as ours was a small work place and we knew a lot about each other and were for the most part a very friendly crowd. I never saw anyone treated as she was treated. She too thought her political leanings were the reason for her mistreatment. 

Anyway, do you think, that someone who calls himself Mr. Coot expects anyone to take him seriously?</description>

		<description>Margaret,
I don&#039;t know anything about you personally (how could I?) however, your post regarding the so called black Republican woman, and others you make are  an indication of your point of view.  You may not be a member of the Republican party but you certainly share the same point of view. 

You said:
 But seeing what my co-worker went through, I determined that part of the reason blacks don’t enter the Republican party is they become pariahs among their neighbors. 

If the woman was being &quot;hissed at&quot; (BTW, black folks don&#039;t hiss, snakes hiss, ask Mr. Coot) how do you know it was because she was a Republican?  Maybe it was because of the way she treated them.

I hope this answers your question.  I apologize if my post offended you.</description>
