Gee, my union is now slightly less powerful and I am not guaranteed $25 per hour by the state.

Guess I'll just head on down to the cocaine wholesaler and become a drug dealer and not get married...

Maybe, just maybe, the GOP should campaign for black votes based on actual issues. Just a thought.
Why is it o.k. for Al Sharpton to use such terminology?

Double standard, I guess...

Before Reagan, only 42% of black kids were raised by single parents and the explosion of crack hadn't happened yet.

I didn't say it was okay for him to use it. Do you think it's okay to use it because some black minister does?

No that is what happened in the early 1900's, to the Democratic party, with the onslaught of socially engineered intellectuals and the big push for control in the form of Fascism, and Communism

No. You pointed out only conservatives use those words.

I implied that you are leaving out the liberals who use those words.

Double.

Standard.
