Excuse me?
I'm supposed to accept this
hypocritical steaming pile
from a black liberal who called the Republican Party an instrument of racism and criticized Colin Powell and Condi Rice in almost these same terms for serving President Bush?From his column of last week:
The Republicans' racist inner core repels blacks, many seeing the old beloved party of Lincoln as their contemporary enemy. Far from taking African-Americans for granted, the Democrats long ago made our quest for civil rights the bedrock of many policies. The Democratic Party is black America. You do not take for granted that which you are. You simply are. Blacks are Democrats. Yes, yes, J.C. Watts, Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, Colin Powell and others have cast their lot with the devil, but their action does not mean that the rest of us should lose our minds, too. We know who our real friends are. And they are not in the GOP.Blacks did not become Yellow Dog Democrats accidentally. They found a home, a place where they knew that bleeding hearts would do the decent thing - even if the decent thing had unintended negative consequences. I cannot recall a single time that Democrats planned how to abuse blacks. Without trying, I can think of many ways that Republicans have been intentionally cruel to blacks and other groups.
No one should be surprised that most blacks are Yellow Dog Democrats.
Is the vituperative propaganda of a lawn jockey for the Democratic Party to be excused by one good column in which this intellectual Three-Card Monte dealer burnishes his social conservative credentials? Bullsh#t. A race baiter is a race baiter. Pure and simple.
No excuses. A broken clock may be right twice a day, but it remains broken just the same. I have two rewards for this writer: contempt and slight regard.
Be Seeing You,
