Nevada Commissioner: "Democratic Party is America's Last Plantation"

Which is drawing howls from Democrats statewide, who call the comments "divisive," "self-hating," and "intended to suppress black votes." They demand that she apologize. Lynette Boggs McDonald, a Republican running for county commissioner in Las Vegas, says she regrets having once been a Democrat.

A University of Nevada black studies professor argues that Ms. Boggs McDonald's statement is "extreme" but raises a legit question about how the Democratic Party treats blacks. The sista speaks the truth! That's why younger blacks are leaving the party and becoming independents (as I am) or even Republican. We believe black folks can do for ourselves. And this sista wants to suppress votes that she seeks to win?
