Showing Original Post only (View all)Does anyone else get as tired of Hillary Clinton's "black church" photo ops as I do? [View all]
I mean, I get it in that black church folks do vote...
But so do some of us non-churched heathen black folks like myself.
I mean, I have my own issues with the church, and that probably colors my view of this a bit..
But damn, sometimes I think that Hillary is ready speak in tongues and do the Holy Dance at any given moment.
NOTE: Some of the people that have already recced this post (5:52pm)...I see you and I don't want to play your game. That's why I posted this specific question in the AA Group.
UPDATE: Just wanted to say thank you to the AAGroup for allowing me to "let my hair down" a bit on this topic (the joke there being, of course, that I have no hair!).
I do appreciate BOTH the feedback and the criticisms.

I have no problem with your irritation. The problem is you came after Hillary, and no one else.
