Just Asking . . .


What follows are a series of questions that I ask the reader to answer in her/his own heart:

1). What do you think is the reason behind Republican-controlled states’ shortening of opportunities to vote in various election precincts that are predominantly racial minorities?
            a).  I don’t know.
            b).  I do know, but I don’t want to say.
            c).  I do know and I will say it.  Too many black Americans will vote for Obama simply because he’s black and we’ve got to get him out of the White House.

2).  If a grown man with a family is unemployed, is it because he’s lazy?
            a).  I don’t know.
            b).  I do know, but I don’t want to say.
            c).  I do know and I will say it.  Yes.

3). What do you think is the reason for the Republican-backed voter ID law in Pennsylvania that could disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of poor and minority state residents in November.
            a).  I don’t know.
            b).  I do know, but I don’t want to say.
            c).  I do know and I will say it.  Too many black Americans will vote for Obama simply because he’s black and we’ve got to get him out of the White House.

4).  What do you think is the reason for Rich Snyder, the governor of Michigan, placing only predominately minority municipalities and school districts under the control of emergency managers?
            a).  I don’t know and I don’t care.
            b).  I do know, but I don’t want to say.
            c).  I do know and I will say it.  Too many black Americans will vote for Obama simply because he’s black and we’ve got to get him out of the White House.
            d).  I do know and I will say it.  Blacks are inferior to whites and are incapable of managing their own affairs. 
            e). I do know and I will say it.  This is another example of a clear and disturbing illustration of the way Republicans have manipulated legislation for their own ends, placing a veneer of civic responsibility on a low-minded and sleazy political ploy.

5).  Who characterized Mitt Romney’s work record at Bain as “A rich guy figuring out clever legal ways to loot a company?”  who called him a “Vulture capitalist?”
            a).  I don’t know and I don’t care.
            b).  I do know, but I don’t want to say.
            c).  I do know and I will say it.  Too many black Americans will vote for Obama simply because he’s black and we’ve got to get him out of the White House.
            d).  Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry.

6).  Is it Democrats or Republicans who refer to Romney as "a tin man, a shell, an empty suit, vacuous, a multimillionaire in mom jeans?”
            a).  I don’t know and I don’t care.
            b).  I do know, but I don’t want to say.
            c).  I do know and I will say it.  Too many black Americans will vote for Obama simply because he’s black and we’ve got to get him out of the White House.

Just saying . . . except in this blog it should be “Just asking . . .
