The Real Crime: Honesty

[PoliticalChic]

I think the Right so prizes their black conservatives that if they could have their way they'd

have them stuffed and mounted and placed on prominent display in a trophy case, in the Reagan library, or some such place.

Let's explore why the Left needs to enlist blacks....


But, the Dems can's take a chance on losing the black constituency....so, here we are.
They're pretty much saddled with this donkey.


"...what would happen if a smaller percentage of blacks turned out:

- At 90 percent black turn-out, Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes slide into the GOP column.

- At 75 percent black turn-out, Pennsylvania’s 21 electoral votes go Republican.

- At 70 percent Michigan’s 17 electoral votes turn from blue to red.

- At 50 percent the GOP collects Delawre’s three electoral votes.

I don’t know what a realistic number to project is for the effects of angry black apathy, but I’ll stop at 50 percent. It may be that going as low as 75 percent is unrealistic. Most likely it’s impossible to say. (And this doesn’t take into account things like congressional districts where black voters make the margin of difference.)"

Robert Schlesinger: The Democrats and the Black Vote



Isn't it astounding how regularly you ram your foot in your mouth?
Am I brilliant....or you just stupid?

You're demeaning black Americans for voting?

lol, another PC classic.

You're pretending to misunderstand again?

This is really getting old.

It appears you are as ignorant of honesty as you are of Vatican intrigue!

She wants to continue to be told how think by rightwing propagandists who have gotten rich convincing people like her that they need to be told how to think.

One of the " rightwing propagandists" who've 'told me how to think' is John McWhorter....I've read two of his books.

Another heretic is the linguist John McWhorter, who wrote in "Losing the Race: Self-Sabotage in Black America," 'Is school a "white" thing? If not, then why do African -American students from comfortable middle-class backgrounds perform so badly in the classroom? What is it that prevents so many black college students in the humanities an social sciences from studying anything other than black subjects? Why do young black people born decades after the heyday of the Civil Rights movement see victimhood as the defining element of their existence?'


1. He really isn't rightwing.
'McWhorter characterizes himself as "a cranky liberal Democrat"'
John McWhorter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2. I put that quote in 'cause I knew it would annoy caption.

I got a million of 'em!

He's a black centrist which effectively puts him in the black rightwing...

...and he makes a good living doing it.

I've read his books.
Have you? Or are you still sticking to match book covers and bazooka comics?



The guy claims to be a liberal Democrat....and he is.

Yet you define him otherwise.

Who'd a guessed....




It's been a long time since a truthful post has emanated for your computer....

I hear that next television season there is going to be a Black version of The Cosby Show.

Your post....the OP's point exactly.
Folks are gonna think I pay you!

Another 'high-tech lynching'!

Heck...if he doesn't say what Leftists like NoNoodles want him to say,he can't be authentically black.


What happens to 'uppity sell-out,' 'Uncle Toms,' instead of a physical beating or tar-and-feathering, defectors are ostracized or ridiculed in the public forum. Blacks have been repeatedly warned that to leave the government's poverty plantation, or even to criticize it, will mean a life of isolation from their family and abandonment by their peers.
Star Parker, "Uncle Sam's Plantation," p. 77.


That's what I wrote about Powell's motivation....his fear.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Your posts read like the ramblings of a schizophrenic bum in the park.

You jump from one thought to the next, making all these ridiculously idiotic statements in this emphatic tone.

And your "outline" follows no known format for outlining notes. You're either a dingy chic or a mental patient with access to a computer.

The only reason for your post is that the OP makes eminent sense....and skewers your most deeply held beliefs.


And don't think I don't love doing it!

That was an old joke from the 80s when the show was still on. The point being that most Blacks did not identify with the show, or the family. They may as well have been the Cleevers.

An Asian woman with a Caucasian woman in a Superwoman suit as an avatar might be too confused to understand this.

No it wasn't.

It was an inept attempt exactly as I characterized it.

Cosby couldn't really, really be black unless he blamed white folks.

And Cosby paid a high price, didn't he.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Referring to President Obama‘s State of the Union Address, Cosby continued, “To see people sitting down when there are others standing and cheering. I think we have people sitting there who are as bad as the people who were against any kind of desegregation. And then in place of a better America, they want their own sick feelings put across, and it’s — it isn’t — it isn’t a good time, but I think, also on our part as professors and presidents of colleges all over, and in public schools, we need to get the education of the correct history that happened so people can say, ‘Yes, this really did happen.’”

Back in the 80s, I told that joke to a friend of mine, a Black actor who had guest starred on The Cosby Show. He thought that it was hilarious, and very true. Refer to the second part of my last post. Sorry I did not number them.

Who can blame them for prizing their Black conservatives when that breed of cat is about as rare as Siberian tigers?

'
All groups extol as their great virtues those which they most lack.

So the scrawny, malnourished, tyrannized Homeric Greeks extolled strong, meat-eating heroic warriors.

Christians wrap themselves in love, love, love -- despite the fact that Christianity is probably the most hate-filled religion that has ever existed.

Moslems are equally inconsistent about priding themselves on their lack of idolatry, and their suppposed virtues of brotherhood, loyalty and mutual-help.

Americans, being notoriously slavish to power and money, yammer endlessly about freedom, equality and democracy.

Britons pride themselves on having the best government in the world, and the most incorrupt.

The Chinese emphasize the harmony of society and the family.

So everybody lies and is dishonest -- however, it must be said that Americans seem to specialise in lying and dishonesty.

In fact, the phrase, "honest American" is almost an oxymoron !! (with, of course, a few shining exceptions -- who are usually hunted down and destroyed)
.

Did that "Honest American" phrase originate in your head? I've never heard it before reading your post today. I'll say one thing, at least here in America we don't prop up silver spoon assholes as royalty, and kiss the very ground they walk upon -although some will try. If you want to live in a society that treats people by their bloodlines as royalty, then that's your problem. If you want to cherish people whose only contributions and accomplishments were who their parents were, have fun with that. We Americans will hold fast to the notion that all men are created equal, rather than God save the queen thank you. BTW... For someone who tries to convince everyone he's such an intellectual, I would have thought you would have the mental fortitude to learn how to use the simple spell check function.

Your attempt to get even, 'the second part,' is just as vapid.

Don't give up the day job.

I consider using spell-check to be beneath my dignity. But thank you for pointing out the typo.
By the way, why would I try to "convince" people that I am an intellectual -- when erudition practically drips from my every sentence?

Did that "Honest American" phrase originate in your head? I've never heard it before reading your post today.

I consider the fact that you have never heard the phrase "honest American" to be something that speaks volumes.

In a secular society such as ours, where the collective is prized over individualism...

Actually, a secular society is the only sort in which the INDIVIDUAL can be free from the enslavement of COLLECTIVE IDENTITY

"For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body--whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink"
-- 1 Cor. 12:12

Is this thread supposed to be about

a. the victimology of 'liberal' black America, or,

b. the victimology of conservative blacks and their white allies on the right,

because no one whines more about being persecuted for their beliefs than those in line b. No one plays the victimology card better than they do...

...this thread being one more stellar example of that.

Gee, the other day you were conceding that there isn't one liberal socialist welfare state program that you would end, thus admitting that liberalism is the best source of social policy for this country,

and today you're admonishing us to heed the wisdom of someone you think is a liberal Democrat...

As I've said before,

Conservatism is an army in perpetual retreat.
