You mame are quite an example of conservative Republicanism.
Not really - if you read some of my other posts, I'm not a very good representative for the right-wingers. However
I (unlike, let's say,
you) do not care to stereotype and pigeonhole people and do things like lump them together because of their skin color.
That phrase drives me crazy: representing the black community. You used that in your last post. Who exactly is the "black community"?
Is it you, Al Sharpton and some gang-banger kid who'll die in a drug war before he's 20? Is it some drunken broad with a passel of children from different relationships who's complaining that her welfare checks aren't going up at the same rate her offspring are?
Or is it my neighbors and friends who are well educated and have great jobs, are raising their children in a two-parent household and are not "underprivileged" by any stretch of the imagination? Is it my son's friends who are off to college or in the military, deciding to forgo impregnating their girlfriend until she's his wife and they can afford to properly raise children?
Again, there you go with that racial "lumping skin colors together". MLK said he wanted his children to be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. That's a great idea for people of ANY color. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I remember sitting in a seat in Alabama during the 60s and being called a "no-good ******."
The 60's are over, pal. Move on. Have you been called a no-good ****** in the last 10 or 20 years? Outside of your own mind, that is? Didn't think so. PS, in case you hadn't heard, the North won the war and we don't hold slaves in this country, either.
Yes steps are being taken to cool race relations but statements such as saying blacks are more bigoted do not further the cause.
Nor do statements that "so-and-so isn't a
real black because he's successful, healthy and happy."
Blacks are a major part of the electorate
Not really. Blacks only make up about 12% of the population in this country. Explain to me how that's a majority?
If you want to be enslaved by the Democrats notion that blacks are too stupid to get an education, feed and shelter themselves or raise their children, that's your bag. But I'm not buying it. Sorry.
Clarence Thomas came out of extreme poverty - he went to live with his grandfather when he was a kid because his mother couldn't take care of him and his sister. The grandfather made him work hard and taught him to respect himself and today he's one of the most powerful men in this country. That should be considered an accomplishment, not "Uncle Tom-ism". It's not like Bush just grabbed Thomas out of the ghetto at random to be a token black on the Supreme Court - Thomas
earned that nomination and he was extremely qualified for it.
The problem with black men and women who rise to greatness is that it's puts the lie to America "holding back" the black man. It shines a light in the faces of these ne'er do wells in the gutter who cry that the white man is keeping them down. Makes thim think that they might be keeping
themselves down - and that's an uncomfortable feeling.
So rather than say, "This man is an inspiration and a great role model" they say, "He's an Uncle Tom and a toady to the whites." Because it's easy to lay on your butt smoking crack and procreating and hard to actually get up and go to work or get an education. Maxine Waters is more their style because she tells them what they want to hear - it's not your fault, it's the fault of the white men who kept you down and you are owed a living from them. But the minute a black man has a positive message, he's disregarded.
So, again - Democrats are nothing better than slavemasters.
