Do only black democrats count? Who cares what party their as as long as we have more blacks in congress....Are the democrats racists for not voting for black republicans - their opponents were white democrats? isn't this non affirmative action on the part of democrats?

Why would we want affirmative action in congress. You should want the best people for the job, we shouldnt stick people of one race or another in a National seat just because there arent enough of them in already.

Black Republicans are African Americans who have been brain washed into thinking that joing the Republican party makes a difference and that their presence in the Republican party will have any influence on polices purposed by Republicans. The truth is, come election time, the Republicans run out these African Americans and go..."Hey, look how big our tent is, we have African Americans too!" Then when the election is over they scoot them right back under the heal of the Republican party because Republicans don't care about them or any one else, they only care about making more money no matter who they step on. I am ashamed that any African American would call themselves a Republican.....as I am African American.

All members of congress count equally, I suggest that you take an American Civics course or maybe Government 101. The rest of your question does not make any sense and is an opinion that cannot be substantiated by any facts.

Okay...just to clarify.
No, the democrats aren't racist for not voting for black republicans. They didn't vote for white republicans, either.
They're democrats...they don't vote for republicans, they vote for democrats, regardless of color...Seems entirely non-racist to me.
Are they somehow supposed to vote for all of the non-white people, no matter what their political views are? If so, then what's the point of having different political parties?

The only problem there is with minorities is when they actually see themselves as a minority and start pitying the disgraces that befell them. Face it, REPUBLICANS, of all genders, races and ages, lost during this election. As a matter of fact, Democrats did not lose ONE seat (meaning Dem incumbents stayed in their posts).

surely, i think of Michael Steele replaced into lieutenant governor of Maryland...while Bob Ehrlich replaced into governor. i think of he replaced into appointed as chairman to get extra Blacks interior the republican party. i will nevertheless see Steele distancing the republican party from Bush. and that i'm getting a kick out of him saying Democrat concepts are incorrect...yet while asked what could be extra effective, he responds that's no longer his job to state coverage. impressive As to Palin/Hillary...sure, i think of that replaced into their plan...Palin to interchange Hillary. it extremely is nearly a Rolls Royce on your storage changing it with a tricycle. needless to say, the republicans merely don't get it. they have not have been given any empathy for what the persons have long previous by dropping jobs, properties, coverage, etc. All they care approximately is potential, controlling the persons with scare strategies...and funds!
