AfroerotiK: Vote Flipping

AfroerotiK

Erotic provocateur, racially-influenced humanist, relentless champion for the oppressed, and facilitator for social change, Scottie Lowe is the brain child, creative genius and the blood, sweat, and tears behind AfroerotiK. Intended to be part academic, part educational, and part sensual, she, yes SHE gave birth to the website to provide people of African descent a place to escape the narrow-mined, stereotypical, limiting and oft-times degrading beliefs that abound about our sexuality. No, not all Black men are driven by lust by white flesh or to create babies and walk away. No, not all Black women are promiscuous welfare queens. And as hard as it may be to believe, no, not all gay Black men are feminine, down low, or HIV positive. Scottie is putting everything on the table to discuss, debate, and dismantle stereotypes in a healthy exchange of ideas. She hopes to provide a more holistic, informed, and enlightened discussion of Black sexuality and dreams of helping couples be more open, honest, and adventurous in their relationships.

Vote Flipping

What is being done about the vote flipping on these machines? Are we going to sit with our thumbs up our collective rear ends until McCain wins by fraudulent tallying and then cry, "Woe is me." like we did with Al Gore and John Kerry? Where is the MASSIVE legal attack on these machines NOW? We know the GOP has rigged the machines and yet we are sitting in silence. Time and time again, we are hearing voters say they voted for Obama and the machine flipped their vote to another candidate. Are we going to pretend that is merely coincidence? That smacks of throwing the election to me. What have we done all this work to get out the vote when the vote is being flipped before our eyes and no one is taking the Republicans to task. God forbid the machines were flipping votes to Obama from McCain, they would invalidate every vote and demand that the election be held again. Where are the legal motions filed by the DNC, and the Obama campaign to stop have paper ballots?
