it is touching that Beauprez is so concerned about African-Americans — Colorado is hardly “The Chocolate State” — Blacks comprise only 4% of the total population there . . .

*ilson, that is a statewide average. Here are some stats for the City and County of Denver and Metro Denver. Not sure which is part of which.

Demographics: The City & County of Denver has a diverse ethnic population including 11.1% African American; 31.7% Hispanic; 2.8% Asian and 1.3% Native American. Metro Denver has an ethnic population of 5% Black; 18% Hispanic; 3% Asian; 1% Native American and 3% multi-racial.

The City and County of Denver has a population of 500k or so — the Denver Metro area (Denver and the burbs) is 2.4 million or so.

Denver and Aurora have the highest number of minorities, but they are spreading out to all of the suburbs. Colorado has a history of racial and ethnic tolerance, although the Klan took over Denver and the State House in the 1920’s. (fuck you, DW Griffith)

Unfortunately, Colorado has also been a magnet for the GOP Neo-Racists like Beauprez and Tancredo and Musgrave — the NeoKlan lives, in the Kolorado GOP.

May all of the hate merchant GOoPers be sent packing, come November . . .

Rocky Anderson raised his right fist in the air, a slightly relieved smile on his face, and stood in front of the crowd. Just stood there. Welcome to Salt Lake, Mr. President. Welcome to my city.

Very, very nice.

He admitted that his remark, “the statistic”, was in error and apologized for it the next day.

“Tragically, I think, in some of our ethnic communities we’re seeing very, very high percentages of babies, children, pregnancies end in abortion.”

How about his ‘logic’? Did he apologize for that gaff?
