As a member of the Kent Bicycle Advisory Board, I'm tempted to go and sit in an "interactive session about climate change".
On the other hand, weather.com tells me its going to be 70 and sunny on Friday, so I could also take the day off and ride my bike from East Hill to Kanaskat-Palmer state park...
Notice that everyone around the black guy is avoiding him. They aren't even making eye contact with him.
They are probably thinking "... I better hold my wallet and my wife close, there is a negro hoodlum in the room...if I can just get that policeman's attention."

Yawn....................................we all know that the Democrats record of electing blacks is far better than the GOP's. We're just so damn cool. Why, look at all the black senators we have. And look at how we fight every day to get voting rights for those folks in Washington DC. Oh well, actually we don't, we'd rather pronounce ourselves superior than actually ensure equality in voting rights across the USA. Nevermind. Let's go back to how many black senators we have. It's um....how many? LEt's see we have about 50 senators and by population blacks are 15% so that means we must have about 7 or 8 black senators in the Democratic Party. I'm sure we must have that many.
And meanwhile look at the GOP. They sure suck don't they? Why they've never had any black candidates for governor or senator or congress. Um, except back in the 70's when they had all of them and the Democrats were the racists. But never mind!
Let's go to gender. We've had a woman VP candidate and the GOP hasn't ever had one.
Boy they sure suck. We're so great! We're so great! We're so great!
I have a better contest. Spot the straight guy...and when I say straight, I don't mean Larry Craig straight, I mean actually enjoys fucking women straight.

There is NOT ONE Black Republican.
You think someone is making this stuff up? What a dumb ass you are.
I met a black man once...he was very nice and carried my suitcases to my room. I can proudly say I helped him and his family get ahead, I gave a dollar!
"Let's go to gender. We've had a woman VP candidate and the GOP hasn't ever had one."
Normally I don't feed the PC . . . but . . . did you, giving your best Colbert impersonation, just suggest that you support Palin being picked as a VP? You do know that was done specifically to pander to people like you, right? If Hillary knew you said that, she'd probably bicycle kick you in the face.
I see a multitude of inane posts by some knuckle-dragging bore who thinks he's being so wild and wacky posting on Slog. Yeah, he's winning hearts and minds here. Awesome...
The people you identified by particular races are just that now. They are those races and they have not complied to the set of standards we feel people of those skin tones should apply to. They are not people with complex decision making and many different experiences that guide them.
Regardless of how misdirected Republicans are, it is a horrible thing to question people based on their color and assume racial backgrounds.
I'm waiting for the replies that this is stupid PC bullshit and I reply that such an uncritical response is typical Seattle bullshit.
"Well, you just judged a whole people by a region."
The blacks are easy to spot. They stand out like a dirty thumb. Here's the trick. Do you see the Asian? He blends into the white background a little better.

Ok, but do you also notice that there are people -- some rather attractive -- in their 30s, 40s and 50s there as well?
Something that was completely absent in Denver...

I see 3. Look for the guy with the cowboy hat on. There's a black guy behind him followed by a latino, then another black guy.

Posted by Colin | September 3, 2008 9:27 AMOoOo... I spot 3! However, I have the sinking feeling that at least one or two of them were there as hired security.
