Seriously??? Having viewed this forum (admittedly from a distance) over the past four years, I find your statement, in boldface, laughable. And you know that I have always been a leaning right of center independent.

At this point I am reduced to hoping and praying that whoever wins can and will REUNITE this country... And despite disagreeing with the many policies that may come with that, I would accept that. We are nothing if we cannot stand shoulder to shoulder with our fellow Americans, united as Americans first. And that is surely not the case presently.

Agree totally but it ain’t Trump.

Is it Biden? The one who told a room full of blacks, that Republicans "want to put y'all back in chains"? Is that a blueprint for unity? Doesn't get any more dishonestly divisive than that.

how does he have a chance, when he explicitly said that republicans are pro slavery?

and that blacks ain’t black if they don’t vote for him?

as always, a speck of honesty is way too much to ask.

I think you're getting caught up in your own hyperbole Jim.

either that, or you're a liar.

Did Biden say that you ain't black if you aren't supporting him?

Did Biden tell a room full of blacks at a campaign stop in 2012, that "they want to put y'all back in chains"?

Where is the hyperbole?

Watch Trumps latest state of the union. When he mentioned lowest black unemployment ever, the republicans went berserk in celebration, and the democrats all sat there miserable, scowls on their faces.

Tell us why each side reacted the way they did, please, if the GOP wants blacks in chains?
