This nation still has divisions amongst racial lines, things are significantly better, but there are still divisions. When the need for a group like the NAACP is no longer needed in this country then you can say so what, what's the significance, until then it's a slap in the face of those millions of Americans who are trying to bridge a gap. They don't agree with all his policies but they invited him, they made a step and he just made a step backwards.

I believe this type of thing will cost Bush the election. He has no abilty and has become scared of open discussion that all he is doing now is preaching to the choir, and I believe some of his choir have lost faith in Bush. I've heard many republicans say this will be the first time they vote democrat because of Iraq, being too much "big government", etc. We saw how close the last election was...if he lost enough of his base and has no ability to reach out beyond his base, I think he's screwed. We'll see, this is just my opinion.

I don't think not attending an NAACP meeting is making a step backwards in racial relations nor making the gap in divisions bigger. I think its time to move on and get over it.

He's still a tool though. If I were a professional public nuisancee, I'd follow him everywhere with an airhorn and scare the shit out of him when he least expected it. A'la Jackass.
Hours of fun.

Well obviously Bush feels the same way you do. He's already over it and will probably move on to meet with the white people who have money and vote for him.

Kerry tried to make it an issue. He's moved on to meet with the white people who have money and vote for him.

Kerry can meet with whomever he wants. The point is that all his reaching out to the African American community is essentially empty rhetoric as he already has their vote in his pocket. Kerry's actions will be directed towards his wealthy, white contributors.
