We have signs that say its against the law to do this at a polling place. I guess thats why he opens the door no one could get in without his help. . Was he hired? I think not
to linger aimlessly or as if aimless in or about a place: to loiter around the bus terminal.

I guess he decided to go legit.
I still don't understand how you all feel that an African American would be intimidating standing outside the polls in an African American community. Please explain.
I suppose it would be a matter of degree, but I suspect both Dakotas of being overwhelmingly caucasian, along with utah and some of the tiny states on the east coast perhaps.Quote:

He is on a public sidewalk. And yes he could open the door for my wife in a public place any time he felt like it. I had a blast at the poles today. Our town has 2 booths well kinda booths (3 sided cardboard cut outs) and paper handouts. There were 10 or 12 people at the same time this morning. So We had a non private voting area,,,where we lined up on bench seats and copied each others answers We talked duck hunting and set blind times for my neighbors granddaughter. We would make that black dude feel right at home.
Pete, you and Buzz don't get it. It's more about appearance than anything else. He is wearing traditional "Black Panther" garb. He is presenting himself as a Black Panther. If I stood outside a polling station wearing a KKK robe, would that be ok? Do you think anyone would have a problem with it if I was polite and opened doors for people? If he is an "official" poll worker, he shouldn't be wearing a Black Panther beret and military insignia. Go ahead and spin this any way you want but it is what it is. The double standards in today's society are ridiculous, especially when it comes to race. Terry Bradshaw makes an inside joke about fried chicken when Reggie Bush scored a touchdown and everybody screams racism. His joke was between him and another commentator and had nothing to do with racism or Reggie Bush but that's not how the liberal media made it sound. Yet, a Black Panther can stand outside a polling station during a Presidential election and it's ok.
You call it ok, I call it the same as it was in 2008, Intimidation. He is making a statement by wearing his black panther clothes.
I.am glad to hear that he is legit, but they should not allow him to dress that way if he's a poll worker
That's exactly what it is.Quote:

I am not spinning any thing. for starters all I saw was a black guy wearing a barea and opening a door for people. I have read nothing into the video. . I have no idea if he is a black panther or an x green barea. If indeed he is a black panther,,,he has every right to hate white people just as the KKK has the right to hate black people. As long as they don't do harm ,,,who gives a rats ass what they believe. He appeared very harmless to me in the video. As long as he remains harmless he can dress and do what he chooses. Personally that would not intimidate me or my wife.
I also understand the double standard and where you guys are coming from. But fox news is kin with cnc,,same mother different father or same father different mothers.
