I have quit thinking of Black People as a homogeneous group. That is the political trick to create the appearance of unity where there actually is none. There is no “Black Community”

I have rather come to think in the sense of multiple black subcultures.

I have not yet defined them but it is congealing. There is the black political subculture depicted so well in the TV series the Wire and personified by the Baltimore City mayor and prosecutor. There is a jock subculture personified as Michael Jordan that night be really Basket Ball and a Football subcultures. There is a middle class hard working, good citizen church going, middle class subculture. There is the urban/drug sub culture that is associated with the urban gangs. They might be separate.

Generally they are all liberal but as we know here, there are good conservatives in the mix that are probably in need of sorting out. I suspect the conservatives exist as outliers in most of the other subcultures.

For the case in point, the Black Taliban in question is an effort by the Black Political subculture to enhance the agenda and subject and perhaps pervert the minds of say the jocks or the workers.

Any way, it is a way to make a fresh look and as a culturalist, criticize the people in the political culture that happen to be black, and not be racist. Being a culturalist is not racist.

Conservatives need to take up language play to combat the language plague imposed by the left.

And the liberal white-owned media would like you to think that the only black subculture that matters is the "Angry" one.

Clarence Thomas? He isn't really "black", don'cha know?
