Many claim that they could vote for a black man for president, but does that change once they are in the voting booth?

Can black people really trust either party?

"The two parties have combined against us to nullify our power by a ‘gentleman's agreement' of non-recognition, no matter how we vote ... May God write us down as asses if ever again we are found putting our trust in either the Republican or the Democratic Parties." -- W.E.B. DuBois (1922)

Do these words still hold true in 2008?
