I was in that thread, and what is see is a bunch of white guys who know little to nothing about Malcolm X, what he fought and died for, and that since AK may not be as well versed, you exploit that. Please, turn your fire upon me, one who grew up in the NOI.
You are a brother in Arms so I will use restraint, but do not think that I will the analogy of house negro versus field negro to pass without a solid analysis of these terms, the history behind them, and why they apply today. 6, if you do say something fucked up to me, I will not retaliate. We are all green in the end. But the house and field negro thing needs to be cleared up, and I will not let this go.

Are you saying KKK47 didn't try to implicitly label West in the post I linked to?
Lemme take the onus, since I am black. Col. West is viewed by a GREAT many as in the HOUSE. He has things that the field negro does not have.
Bottom line.
Now I diverge from that because I served. He is actually a paleoliberal, and one who did not ask a decorated two time Vietnam Vet, why he endorsed Obama.
The GOP is the party of anti-minority, anti-gay, anti-woman. In essense, it is the party of pissed off white guys who cannot abide change. They demonstrate this over and over and over again.
They have NO chance over the long term.
But my question is, are you saying KKK47 didn't try to implicitly label West in the post I linked to?

I labeled him FOR you, house and field negro is black folks talk, and I am black. AK does not know the nuances, he did not grow up with it. West is confused. He think's the GOP actually have his best interests at heart and are not USING him.
You pick on AK because he does not have command of the semantics.
So you are asking someone not well versed to pronounce a judgement he knows he cannot make, not yet anyways.
West, to a VAST majority is a HOUSE negro. But when I listen to him, he is actually a paleo-liberal. He apparently is not aware of where the GOP has gone.
NO ONE ASKED ME if I thought West was house or field.
West is a hybrid. He is actually a Manchurian candidate. He needs to talk to Gen. Powell a bit more about why he made his choice. It will free his mind.
