being kicked to the side

[michael d keyes]

If anyone hasnt notice since the election a lot has been made or the latino vote,heck i have even heard about the asian vote as well. Yet i have not heard about the african-american vote nor its impact on these past two elections. Which leads me to believe the media has discarded the african-american vote as a democratic vote like homosexuals or unions. So there is no need for anyone to try to court our vote because our vote is already baked into the election cake as 90-95 percent democratic,and we only vote in presidential elections. Sadly we are letting this insult to us go by with and voice of disagreement. So now we are kicked to the side being replaced by new ethnic groups. Hopefully somewhere there is a new voice in our community to bring us back to the forefront of conversation. If not we will be kicked to the side and all the blood,sweat and tears will be for not and that in the end will be the biggest insult of them all
