The things that surprises me most about her PUBLIC endorsement of Mitt is that she or anyone else is surprised that many Black people are so violently opposed to her position. Oh well.
No matter how angry, disgusted, or even supportive people are about this, the bottom line is that each person only gets one vote. How they opt to use it is their choice. Stacey Dash put her comment out in the court of public opinion so it's probably more clear now than ever how deep down the rabbit hole of race this election actually is.
Trust me, as much as it appears that Blacks have a "slave mentality" there are just as many whites who harbor that same mentality. Keep in mind that President Obama gets more death threats per day than any sitting president in history. Anyway, there are just as many "slave minded" whites who are dying to see Obama gone, solely because he's "black". Of course it's convenient for all of us to simply ignore the fact that he's clearly a bi-racial man (he came out of the body of a white woman). Instead, as always in America, the issue is either black or white.
Again, I'm surprised that Stacey or anyone else is ignorant to the fact that Obama has such strong support among people of color OR that Mitt has been so successful alienating Black and many other cohorts of voters.

I agree! One's "rights" were NEVER questioned, by me! The "right" to vote for whomever one pleases, is a given. By the same token, anyone has the "right" to disagree with any decisions of anyone when such decisions could effect hundreds of millions of fellow Americans, especially when such decisions are pervasive, made based on tortured logic or no sound logic at all.
For someone to PUBLICLY say, "Mitt Romney as president of the United States is “the only choice for your future”, does not show any strong bases for the decision. Perhaps for the rich & wealthy, presidential selections may not be so important......these people will live well regardless if "bozo the clown" is president.
However, for the masses of Americans for whom presidential decisions WILL impact, it seems only reasonable & fair that voters do a little due diligence and deductive reasoning when deciding who to vote for......Photo ops, preferring a certain race of president, one or two positions of a candidate, fashion consciousness, wealth identification, something a friend said, or a slick sounding zinger, IS NOT SOUND REASONING OR DUE DILIGENCE!
The country in general and black folks in particular have too much at stake to allow something like Romney to be president, if it could be avoided.
____________________________________________
There are dozens of reasons why Romney is a bad fit, in my view......but before any exhaustive arguments on both sides begin, HOW CAN ANYONE BE PRESIDENT THAT CAN NOT BE ""TRUSTED?""
A president holds VITAL fiduciary responsibilities for all Americans, so how does a candidate truly "leave the starting gate" without a track record of level headed honesty, consistency, AND TRANSPARENCY???
I'm sorry if you don't like it but any big public clueless entertainer that has not considered AT LEAST THE TRUST ISSUES or will not /can not articulate sound reasons for what may be a superficial decision at best, deserves strong opposition!!!

There people on BOTH sides have demonstrated their ignorance-- and hypocrisy -- when it comes to respecting others vote, and personal opinion. I 'll pick your mind and challenge you on your opinion and reasoning behind your words/ statement, but to go as far as trying to intimidate and belittle someone for their opinion --regardless how obviously unfounded-- goes too far for me. I think Romney is the biggest phony in the history of politics. That said, these people fire-bombing --unfortunately--cast a bad (yet unfair) light on specific demographics , hypocrites--esp. on the right-- ALREADY have a negative view of. That said, what kills me is her IGNORANT and unfounded comment/ claim that [paraphrasing];"' ...Women have had enough , and are DISAPPOINTED with Obama...' " . What the hell solar system is this woman existing in? I'm not claiming that Obama's record regarding legislation and measures that SPECIFICALLY affect women is 'perfect', but it's STELLAR compared to most presidents--- if not all. If one doesn't share this opinion, you'd have to give me some examples to counter.

I lost respect for Obama when he denounced Minister Farrakhan for no reason other than to appease a certain group of people.
Most my issues with him surrounds how he has treated Black people. I lost respect for Obama when he stayed silent on Troy Davis but the month before he along with the U.N. lobbied to get an illegal Mexican off death row who'd killed a then 16 year old in 1994 according to what I read.
I lost respect for Obama when he cosigned with other Imperialists and conspired to kill Mr. Gaddafi and he was not only a man that welcomed this clown Obama as a "son of Africa" but he was also pro Africa and was making moves to form an African union and this puppet that comes in Black face was complicit in his death.
I lost respect for this clown when he was silent on those same thugs that captured Black Libyans and imprisoned/raped and kill them.

For him to turn against Jeremiah Wright just to appease the whites was also very wrong. Wright had supported Obama for a very long time and Wright spoke the truth about whites too.... For him to send troops into various African countries, and participate in the re-colonisation is also disgusting..

Now Lexe...I know that YOU know that the author is counting on the CLUELESS people here to not know what YOU and I know as it pertain to the agenda that both Romney and Obama share.
Obama has made the "globalists" mad and he is now on shaky ground so Romney may swoop in and carry out the "globalist" agenda....

Exactly, never understood why people go into a rage over politics. People survived under every administration thus far. They will survive Obama or Romney for the next 4 years. Anybody who was able to survive the years of the Regan administration shouldn't be worried.

Correct, and you both make good points. The ones with the gold are the ones who rule and love money. They could care less about the laws and politics of any nation subject to their doctrine of demons. They only care about subduing all nations under them, and we are watching this unfold with Syria and Iran in their crosshairs. If Iran and Syria continue to be seen as a major threat to their world order, then Romney will likely win (and I've told friends this already long before the media started 'suddenly' declaring Romney the debate winner and 'poll leader'). Most Americans are clueless about our foreign policy, which is why it is easy to distract them with the two-party sham.

But the republicans have been pushing the "welfare queen" scare tactics since ronnie raygun.
Fact being, Mitt has taken more government handouts than the recipients of any inner city housing project combined and gotten "filthy" rich on them. I'd even put money on it, that was what paid for his silver spoon.
So, when you come out here"laughing" at those who are in need of public assistance, the so called 47%, you are in essence defending the 1% who have gotten to where they are on gov. assistance, the likes of which make those crumbs spent on welfare seem like a pin drop in the ocean.
You must be warm in "tha house."

Yes, Stacy Dash is black and a woman, I just recently read the rest of her tweets where she seems to be speaking for all women which I feel she is wrong in that regard but she is also in the millionaire bracket, owns a couple of businesses so what has usually been against black people and women by Republicans does not really apply to her because money supersedes both in a nano second. She has always had conservative views so its not surprising for her to endorse Romney. I think it's a shame to be so disrespectful towards her without seeing passed her blackness and at least informing one's self about her background before having the belief system that since she is black and a woman so therefore she should vote Democratic. The fact that this article is even written the way that is is irresponsible because it was written in the form of race baiting and not looked at from her financial and conservative point. Now in my opinion, Romney is a liar, he lied 27 times within 38min which was his total time of speaking during the debate. And that alone, to me, should make a person not want to vote for him unless you are rich. It's not about white and black when it comes to Democrat and Republican. It's about Dems support mostly the issues concerning poor and working class people (who also happen to be some of us, which is black and I'm referring to the Democratic politicians who went into politics to really make a difference )and the Repubs supporting the rich. (Which btw, a lot of working class, poor whites would like to think that Repubs are for them but they use that to pander to them and the Rupblican politicians and most whites that support them are very disrespectful and racist towards Black and Hispanic Democrats, even when those same people are Republicans but that is another topic). So by Ms Dash supporting Romney proves the point that if you have a certain amount of money and own a large business then you need to vote Republican in order to not have to pay more taxes, get tax exempts (like corporate welfare meaning lots of free money if you own a corporation or able to right a proposal good enough to look like you own a corporation especially a "not for profit" which you can get money from the Democratic programs as well, but that's another topic) and deal with too many regulations as a business owner unless you are not too rich then you may be able to benefit from some of Obama's policies when it comes to taxes and business ownership(which btw , the same businesses who vote and fund Republican still use and benefit from Democratic policies through loopholes). See how convoluted all this is? Be well informed with what pertains to your best interests and ride with that.

Ms. Dash is entitled to her PERSONAL POLITICAL CHOICE. However, Ms. Dash decided to PUBLICLY state her POLITICAL CHOICE on Twitter. To you REPUBLICAN DEFENDERS, keep in mind that TWITTER is a PUBLIC PLATFORM that allows people to RESPOND. It's WEAK to go around CRYING and MOANING when people with OPPOSING VIEWS RESPOND.

Wow, I'm surprised the words of a single woman such as myself moved you to respond, Mrs. MARRIED WOMEN are the only WOMEN that matter. Oh well, I guess the single ladies are moving up in this world when you take time away from your DEFENDING ALL THINGS REPUBLICAN, RACISTS and gloating about being 'happily married' to reply to my comment.
Anyways, back to your point. You don't know how I communicate with people I disagree with in my PRIVATE life. But I assure you, there is rarely any undeserved BASHING on my part. However, Mrs. Matters, this is a PUBLIC forum. Everyone (including yours truly) can openly discuss their opposing viewpoints. I am allowed to RESPOND when I disagree with someone regarding gays, religion and PRO CHOICE (there is no such thing as PRO-ABORTION). That is the point of the reply button, right?
For the record, I don't BASH decent religious people. I only BASH judgmental, hypocritical and fake religious people. Those phoney people who are only religious when it benefits them. Kind of like you talking about how you are such a good CHRISTIAN then talking like a HEATHEN soon after. LOL. Yeah, you are quite the authority on hypocrites, alright!

Why get mad at Stacey she is the same girl who said she have unprotected sex with white guys on the first night to see if she is wasting her time or not. Slave mentality have nothing with what you are stating symone. No matter what there will always be black people who like to come to white people defense.

The girl is entitled to her opinion which is probably based upon her upbringing and experiences in life. Stop playing the white man's game! While folks can be so crazy over her opinion, if blacks had a cohesive family structure, you will have uncles, aunts, cousins with differences of opinion. But because of the fracturing of the black family (because of the white system) you are taught and indoctrinated to believe only one of their systems are best. The white man wants it so that you only have two choices---Coke or Pepsi.

considering all the racism and hatred we've grown accustomed to hearing from the GOP, I really can't understand how anyone, black, hispanic, asian, native, muslim, indian, or poor and middle class whites would ever think of voting for them.

This immediately brings to mind Nene Leakes and Marlo Whatever-her-name-is proclaiming "white is right!" on RHOA, and the little Nicki Minaj Romney lyric. It comes off as a desperate calculation to attract a wealthy white man now that they are past their prime. Stacy Dash and these women are not Naomi and Janet, and it doesn't matter if they sing the praises of Nathan Bedford Forrest, they're still going out like Dorothy Dandridge and Halle and Garcelle, because they just come off as desperate.
