And yet they likely voted for Cory Booker for mayor and for senator. Go figure…

Booker, like Obama, was the right "shade" everyone could tolerate.

After Lautenburg met his maker in 2013, whale-sized RINO Chris Christie appointed a Republican who served for a few months until a special election was held. Cory Booker won that election and has been gracing the Senate with his presence ever since.

Don't forget how the demoncats stole the 2002 Senate election in New Jersey when their nominee, the human slimeball Robert Torricelli, was running behind his Republican opponent and pulled the plug on him about five weeks before the election. They replaced him with the same Frank Lautenberg who had "retired" but had a sudden change of heart when Torricelli was getting spanked in the polls. The law, of course, did not allow for a replacement at such a late date but the New Jersey Supreme Court said, "Whatevah," and let Lautenberg run.

Didn't Rob "the torch" Torricelli come out as gay on a public stage with his family in attendance?

Not sure about that one.

I thought he dated Bianca Jagger. Who knows? Maybe it was Mick.

He’s “won” the seat twice since then I think. The NJ GOP can’t figure out how to win anything but the governor’s office once in a while.

Yet black skin color doesn't matter if the person is conservative, well educated, mainstream in speaking style...

Then they are considered oreo cookies.

I am always pleasantly surprised that black people in the UK sound just like everyone else. I believe that mainstreaming in a culture counters racism.
