Is a person who swings between voting and not voting.
Sometimes I receive letters or e-mails that begin something like this: "I can't understand why blacks--or African-Americans or whatever it is you want to call yourselves these days--stay so loyal to the Democratic Party. After all, President Bush appointed Colin Powell as his secretary of state and Condoleezza Rice as his foreign policy adviser."
And he showed good taste by doing so, didn't he?
However, as groundbreaking as their appointments were, most black people I know still are waiting for the Bush administration to create more jobs for blacks than just the two mentioned above.
