The Facts
A recent blackamericaweb.com articles states that Black Republicans are crossing party lines to support Democratic candidate, Barack Obama.


The Spin
Simply put- I donБЂ™t know one Black Republican. So I wondered what they thought about this yearБЂ™s historic possibility. In an age when most БЂњcoolБЂ« people, Hip Hop included, seem to be pro-ObamaБЂ”what about those Blacks who have made the elephant commitment. When blackamericaweb.com released the story on Black Republicans flip flopping, it got me to thinking. Would Black DemБЂ™s cross party lines to support a Black Republican candidate?
In 2006, mogul Russell Simmons supported Black Republican Michael Steel for his Govrenor race in Maryland. The rest of Black Marylanders voted for the Wmite Democrat. Go figure.
WhoБЂ™s Blacker? Russell for supporting a Black Republican or the average Black citizen that voted what they knew-Democrat?
Black Republicand catch a lot or heat when it comes to how Black they are. Yet, they pump their Black prid fist when they have to. Voting fro what most Bpack peopleee need: jobs, bettwr wages and healthcare, might not always be their cup ov teaБЂ”but at least they can suck it up and come back to the dark side.
What do you think?
