my mom never told me that.

Since when were there any black Republicans? Whenever I search "Republican" on Google Images (is that creepy?), photos of grumpy, stuck-up, old white guys pop up. I mean no offense, of course- I love African Americans. I have a lot of black friends (well, maybe five. But that's five more than some people). African Americans can do whatever they want, including being members of a political party that historically wasn't very keen on "miorities" (notice that quotations around minorities, showing that I don't consider blacks minor).
After stumbling upon that somewhat shocking news, I learned that many black Republicans are torn between voting for Mr. Obama (I friended him on Myspace!!) and Mr. McCain (does he even know how to turn a computer on?). Black Republicans are at the very least considering Mr. Obama... because... he's black. A black Republican named Rep. JC Watts agrees with me, saying, "I wouldn't just vote for a Republican candidate just because they are Republican, no more than I would vote for a black candidate just because they're black." ... Um, my point exactly.
Although, the Chairman of the National Black Republican Association, Frances Rice, claims that Democrats were all members of the KKK and hates the blacks. I'd hate to burst her bubble (I'm not a fan of bubble-bursting), but everyone was a Klan member back in the day. The Klan would probably burn down other white people's houses if they didn't.
So, which is it- chocolate or prune?
