if minorities constitute 39% of people who voted for Obama

then how come that isn't reflected at a lot of democratic events? Most of the people that head the county and state democratic parties are white and are stereotypical Henry Waxman democrats. At Stewart or Colbert rallies, I'm guessing the crowd was probably 98% white. On the democratic websites such as Democratic Underground or DailyKos, I wouldn't be surprised if whites made up 80+% of the people on it.

Now I'm not a Jesse Jackson type person who will whine if there isn't enough minorities. But minorities play a huge role in the success of the democratic party. Democrats can't win elections without them, so how come it isn't reflected in the democratic events?

A lot of the elitist academics and latte liberals don't want to associate with the inner city minorities even if they vote for the same party.

isn't that a problem? The democratic party needs to be united in all fronts to take back the u.s. house in 2012. Its a shame if the people you refer to as "latte liberals" view inner-city minorities as easy votes.

I would go further and say there are a lot of suburbaners who think the homosexuals are depraved, don't want to get within 1000 feet of the inner city blacks, and really have nothing to do with the unions one way or another.

suburbaners? WTF?
