Full Version: GOP encourages African-American Vote!
I heard on a local radio station here in Atlanta that the Republican party was campaigning very hard in the heavily African-American neighborhoods. They said they were just trying to promote democracy and the importance of voting. Therefore, they want all black Americans to get out and vote on Wednesday, November 3rd. They're even offering transportation to the polling sites.

It's kind of hard to tell it was a joke since you never said it was a joke. Even with the silly happy face.
yes, Bobby, it was a joke.
Uh, unfortunately it springs from a kernel of truth:

In Baltimore, Maryland, anonymous fliers were posted in some African-American neighborhoods with the heading “URGENT NOTICE.” The flier listed the wrong date for Election Day and warned that parking tickets and overdue rent should be paid before voting.15

actually, it was a smiley face sticking out its tongue.....but I'm sorry, I forgot my sarcastic sense of humor doesn't convey very well on a discussion board.
