Memo to Obama - blame the Dems for racism, not Republicans

[Yannis]

Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

Right now, the republicans are not electing blacks to the house and senate in D.C.

That's because very, very few blacks are running for office as Republicans.

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

I have to quibble with your definition of "swiftboating." According to Ann Coulter, the term refers to exposing lies told by a liberal democrat. The media has allowed a limited exception during the democrat primary, and accordingly lies told by Hillary can be safely exposed without fear of having the swiftboat epithet applied. Hence, the media circus over her Bosnia sniper story.

Oh I agree with Coulter's definition. The definition is of "Reverend Wrighting". I was just using Swift Boating as an example of verb-alizing nouns...

Would you please point to black republicans who have been endangered physically by "coming out of the closet" to admit they are republicans?

Don't these black republicans know that once they have come out of the closet, they will be accepted fully by the white republicans as one of their own and receive their full protection?

LOL!

Quote from Yannis:

What I and lots of other people are saying is that it's become very dangerous from a social perspective for black Americans to declare themselves as Republicans, and that's a major reason that there are so few black Republican politicians. It's a vicious cycle that hurts that minority and it's perpetrated by the Democrats and some racial activists who are essentially holding that community hostage for their political gain. This prolongs the dissatisfaction in that group despite the tremendous progress that our society has made over the past few decades in eliminating racism. In my eyes, that Democratic strategy makes racist extremists like Rev Wright acceptable to many, and therefore is deep, true racism. The responsibility, of course, lies with the black community, who, unfortunately, can't seem to snap out of it yet.

Are the "very few" receiving the full support of the republican party and white republican voters?

If they were, then they would be getting elected in the republican stronghold areas...

Unfortunately, many fear that what the Democrats are trying to maintain is a black poor class dependent on entitlements to survive (and, as a byproduct, the breakdown of family structure and expansion of a sizable criminal subculture) and a black middle class dependent on Affirmative Action to prosper. That, of course, is very unfortunate. Slavery may still be alive and well in America: the Democrats are still telling blacks exactly what to think, believe and do, or else!

Solution: allow/encourage the black minority to split into a Republican leaning group, eg, businesspeople, professionals, etc, and a Democrat leaning group. This will give them more self-respect, political clout and real free choice.

The Democrats are playing the same vicious game with the Latinos, in an attempt to keep them subserviant too. Solution (among many other steps): guard the border better so that we can understand who is here and what they need to do well in this country.

So you are saying the white republicans are not doing enough to "allow/encourage" the blacks?

No, the Republicans try hard to woo them - look at Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell and Condi Rice being appointed to great jobs. Republicans would love to see more blacks in their party, and they show their intentions with these appointments. But, finally, it's the blacks' responsibility to break their political chains and be free to choose the best from either party, like the rest of us - a move that would increase their clout a whole lot.

 

[ZZZzzzzzzz]

Your argument breaks down with facts.

Appointed positions are not elected positions.

10% of blacks vote republican, they don't vote democrat.

By any metric, if you get 10% of black voters who support republicans, and if you add the white republicans, you get republicans elected all the time.

They just don't happen to be black...they are white 99% of the time when it comes to the house and the senate in D.C.

Since there are blacks who could run if the republican party were behind them, and since the republican party doesn't back them...they back the whites, then the only logical reason we don't see black republicans voted in to the house and senate is racism...

No, that's not what I'm saying, quite the opposite, go back and reread my writeups. You must be a lawyer, or perhaps, you should have been one, that's what they do for a living, distort people's statements. Funny about that, most of them are Democrats!

 

[ZZZzzzzzzz]

Most are democrats, because the republicans can't pass the bar exam.

See George Bush for confirmation...

What you are saying is nothing but excuses for why the republicans don't elect black republicans, especially in the south.

The most logical reason for this is racism...
