“Generally speaking, black people think in incredibly racial terms.”
This is exactly the kind of thing that we on the right have to STOP saying about black voters. What we are saying is that black people ONLY vote, or support candidates, based on race. A good example is the idiotic argument John Sunnunu made about General Powell when Powell endorsed Obama, i.e. that Powell was only supporting Obama based on his race.
Just before the election, one of the libtards on TV used this to show that conservatives are “racist”, in that “they don’t think black people can think about the issues for themselves”. I’m sure that helped us a lot with the black vote.
The libtard pointed out that Powell supported George W. Bush, then said sarcastically, “So Powell supported Bush because he’s black?” This is the trap that we on the right keep falling into, the trap of making statements about blacks that seem simple-minded. Sunnunu did not help when he was challenged on lefty news shows either. When a liberal commentator asked Sunnunu if he only supports candidates who are white, Sunnunu replied, “Well, of course not” Then the lefty sprang the trap, saying “Oh, so according to you, white people can think for themselves, but black people can’t.” Sunnunu stuttered for a few seconds, then it was time for commercial. I knew right then, that Obama had just won a few more votes.
This is exactly the kind of thing that we on the right have to STOP saying about black voters.
I think it's foolish to think anything else. You're sitting here trying to tell us that 97% of black voters give the other 3% a bad reputation. That's just ludicrous. Blacks think about race in practically all things. Liberals will ALWAYS call us racists, no matter what. You would have us pretend the problem doesn't exist.
On average, they do.
I've also heard Powell make what I consider racist statements about Republicans. So your example isn't one.
Powell, he's dead to me.
Listen, if you think 98% of blacks voted for Obama in numbers sufficient to reelect a bad president, because he’s... a nice guy?...great president?...liberal?
More power to you. Black Americans are hugely conditioned to think in racial terms, and those of us in the real world have to hear it all the time.
Librarian: your time is up on the computer. Response: you’re being racist. Coworker: do you like chicken? Response: do I LOOK like I like chicken? Little kid at school: too many damn white people here. Overheard: I’ll never vote for G Bush he vetoed hate crimes law in Texas. On and on.
Race is a red flag in front of a bull, and democrats waive that thing like a matador and blacks charge to the polls.
You can debate why, whose fault, right or wrong but yes black voters are incredibly responsive to racial arguments.
