Race versus Ethnicity Incorrectly used.

In a first, black voter turnout rate passes whites. This is one of the most stupid statements that I've had the pleasure of reading from the associated press written by a professor of political science. The article goes on to also talk about Hispanics becoming a significant voting block. It's about time that our political science types quit mixing up race and ethnicity. The vast majority the Hispanics are white as the Hispanic label only denotes ethnicity and not race. If we are going to talk ethnicity we need to be concerned with Germanic's, Slavs, Irish, English, Scottish, Etc. This equating ethnicity and race to ones political advantage is asinine. It is presently impossible, except for a few local elections, for the black vote to be larger than the white vote in the US. Any statement to the contrary is done for some form of political advantage and is totally wrong. It's time that we started using the correct terminology. If we can't face things as they are than we will never be able to come to the table together and be one family--Americans. Quit trying to divide us.
