Political Fight!

I have to mention a verbal fight I got into with several men in a store on the south side of Chicago on the night of Thursday 17 December 2009. Read on to see why it occurred.

I live on the south side of Chicago, a section of the city with an extremely strong Democratic preference, and an extremely high percentage of Democratic supporters and voters. At approximately 6:10 p.m., I walked into a corner store on the south side of the city, and spent several minutes talking to a friend of mine who operates the lottery machine, before I purchased a bottle of Nesquik chocolate milk that I would use for some Cap n' Crunch's Peanut Butter Crunch when I returned home. After purchasing the milk, my friend and I chatted for a few minutes more, and then I made the statement that I had to leave for home so I could listen to The Sean Hannity Show on WLS-AM. I made the remark that I vote Republican, and as soon as I did so, a verbal riot erupted between me and five African-American men who appeared to be no younger than 30 and no older than 40. Each of them gave their speeches on how the Democrats are responsible for Blacks and other minorities being free and how the Republicans are responsible for holding them back, degrading them, and trying to take away their rights. One man repeatedly asked me, "Are you rich? Are you wealthy?" Here is my response:

"Your income doesn't determine which political party you affiliate yourself with. Instead, your views on America and abroad determines which political party you affiliate yourself with."

Still, no one listened to what I had to say.

I thank God for giving me the opportunity to listen to tonight's edition of the Sean Hannity Show. In the third hour, somewhere between 8:10-8:25 CST, an African-American pastor called in and mentioned that 90% of all African-Americans vote Democrat, and are also unaware of how detrimental the health care reform really is. Later that hour, a deep-voiced African-American man called in and asked how come Blacks say that Bush didn't care about them and not say that Obama doesn't care about them. During my argument with the Black men in the store, Obama was constantly brought up-how he's adored in the Black community, how big of a role model he is to the Black community, etc! If the Black community actually knew how crooked Barack Obama and the Democratic Party really are, statements like these wouldn't spread and thrive within the Black community! If the Black community knew how loyal the Republican Party really is to liberty and the U.S. Constitution, negative statements about the conservatives and hatred for the conservatives will be virtually nonexistent within the Black community. If it wasn't for the Republicans, Blacks wouldn't be free!
I, Baroness-Ann Stamolka Davenport, am proud to be of tri-racial ancestry, but my racial makeup and income do not, and can not, qualify as factors in determining my political affiliation. As I said before, my personal views on events in America and abroad determine my political affiliation, and my political affiliation is the Republican party. I am completely unaware of any other political party that shares the majority of my views.
