I'm telling the truth. When is the last time the GOP did something signifcant for blacks and gays? 1965? Also, when has the GOP been strongly supportive of science or scientific research that is not realted to outer space?
Given the Dem's evident strong preference for teachers' unions (primarily composed of wealthy, educated whites) over poor black schoolchildren, and also their preference for the concerns of unions in general and the environmental movement (both of which are a good deal whiter than the general population) over decreasing black employment, I think we have to say that the Democrats are not quite deserving of the strong support they receive from at least one race. Also, the GOP seems to like research when it's weapons-related. Of course, research isn't really the government's job.
