I watched the promotional video from last year, and I saw six Black people among 1,500 participants.

Today, I came across a link to a publicity video for YearlyKos, an annual confernece of Democratic Party leftist anti-war bloggers, and I watched the entire video to confirm a suspicion: That YearlyKos is an overwhelmingly white gathering - disproportionately white considering the number of Blacks in the Democratic Party. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=

Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory says he wants to change the culture in Raleigh. I guess that's why he wrote this letter to PAC lobbyists asking for their fundraising help. Change you can believe in? Riiiiiiight. Join the conversation here.
