The majority of white voters vote republican and while they are no longer the voting majority they do control what is on the media. Well over 90% of blacks support obama. We should demand that democrats who go on the media call them out for putting on so many black conservatives when they don't represent african americans. When the uncle tom who wrote the book please stop helping us. We should demand the media ask the tom who is US? Your white conservative masters who pay your salary?
