Why black, instead of American?

Many white Republicans, make the mistake of saying this alot. While this questions sounds nobel, it neglects the relaity of race and history in our nation. I think the problem is most people do not make the distiction between culture and polics. I think those two are very differnt catogories. So when white people as this they are really asking, why can't we join together to solve issues with out racial politcs. And being that racial politics is mosty articulated by democrats, its often ignored as rhetoric, even by liberals.
Racial groups have alot in common, they live together, and they have health and economic similaries. If a white person lived in Kenya and there were three white people in his area, similar things would happen. Simply based on the fact that being white impacts you socialy.

White Republicans for the most part do not speak effectively to black crowds, but black republicans can. Just like Christain groups,when Bush speaks in religous language they know what he means, and they also support there own interest groups, and communities. And there is nothing wrong with that, as long as you can maintan youre indivisuality.
