I see NOTHING racist in his post.
African-Americans are a constituency and he's asking if Obama's tax deal is good for this constituency .. no differently than someone asking if the deal is good for any constituency.
You may not care about black politics .. and that's fine, but some of us do and we discuss it .. no differently than politics for women, gays, or conservatives.
Definition of CONSTITUENCY
1
a : a body of citizens entitled to elect a representative (as to a legislative or executive position) b : the residents in an electoral district c : an electoral district
Funny... not about race... it's not a race that elects or that is selectively chosen to elect a leader
There should be no black politics, like there should be no white politics or aboriginal politics or eskimo politics or whatever other race you wish to inject
the basshole is continually and completely about the racism he holds on to dearly
If you can't figure out that ANY body of voters with similar interests comprise a constituency .. can't help you. Your definition doesn't say anything about women or gays either, but they comprise an important demographic constituency.
Not sure what theoretical world you live in, but in THIS country race matters.Just as EVERY constiutuency has an agenda, so do African-Americans .. and it's different than your agenda.
There is NOTHING racist in his post just right-wingers who believe that only they get to set an agenda and ANYTHING uniquely black must be "racist."
An absolutely amazing thought coming from the historically insane right-wing which has little to ZERO basis or credibility for determing what is racist.
I agree that Bass' is not a racist post...
But as a conservaitve, I must also point out that whereas you say that the right has zero credibility for determining what a racist is....do you blame us? We have been called racist for just about everything and anything we belkieve in.
It DOES get confusing to us. Perhpas if the word "racist" wasnt applied to just about anything, it would be easier to determine what truly IS racist.
