There are freepers who are no different whatsoever than Powell
prolly even belong to the same Black GOP orgs
they work here in concert and they and their cohorts are not much conservative really
the fact that white southerners are the backbone of social conservatism and the GOPs most consistent bloc
kills them
they wish they could purge us
they have to really get out of control for the mods to blast em
it’s only 6-12 and some could be multiple portal IDs and no it is not indicative of all black freepers...a tiny bunch and their shabbaz crackers
anyhow I can remember being threatened here for disparaging Powell back in the day
The term "racist," if not carefully defined, conveys very little information. But using it in the context of the article, confirms a particular racial attitude on the part of the user.
As a factual matter, Obama--if the Luo tribesman claimed was in fact his father--has no more in common with the vast bulk of American Negroes, than a Pakistani has in common with a Norwegian--both being Caucasian, but very different variants of same.
What is curious in this, however, is the fact that the Luo speak the language of the Arab Slave traders. That does not suggest a very friendly attitude towards the ancestors of much of Black America.
This silliness reminds me of the ridiculous address that George Bush delivered off the coast of Senegal on the subject of slavery, a few years into his Presidency--apparently ignorant of the fact that Senegal--a generation after slavery ended in America--still had two classes of residents--slave holders & slaves.
Bush, trying to be politically correct, denounced slavery--not apparently realizing that those he was addressing were far more likely to be the descendants of the Masters than the descendants of the slaves. But then the Connecticut Yankee who became Governor of Texas could more easily be excused for his mistake than the current chap in the Oval Office, who insulted the peoples from Africa on the International Olympic Committee, when he tried to get the next Olympics for Chicago, by comparing the faces on the Committee, with the population of the Chicago Southside! They almost immediately eliminated Chicago from consideration--as anyone who had common sense would have expected.
The point is that there is too much silly talk about race & ethnicity by poseurs, who are too full of themselves to really try to understand how different of the world's very diverse peoples actually function. The ultimate insult is the make believe that we are all the same. That denies all of the things which makes each of us unique.
For my money, you can take "W," Powell, Obama & Powell's former aid, with the same proverbial "grain of salt." None of the four is likely to contribute anything worthwhile to interracial, international, interclass, intercommunity or inter-family understanding.
The mindset of such men has played a tremendous part in what has led to Losing America's Multi-Generational Purpose. Those who want to submerge what is left under some form of new World Order, are the ones who want to purge Southern Conservatives from politics. Don't let the one worlders purge you, "wardaddy." Not even if they send UN poll watchers into your precinct!
