called me a sellout, called me an oreo

I'll never understand why some ethnic groups refer to their successful, non-Liberal members as "sellouts" or food items that are one color on the outside, but white on the inside (oreos, white bread, coconuts).

The whole phenomenon is an anathema to the core of American principles and values. We are endowed by our Creator not only with inalienable rights, but also with talents, insights and abilities that we have a responsibility to put to the best use!

When, oh when will these misguided souls understand that the thirst for success will never be slaked by drinking from the cup of defeatism?

This was a concept I NEVER encountered till I attended school. Unreal since my parents were both immigrants and race was never discussed in my household. Usually I never insert myself into race politics into this country but sometimes I HAVE to give my opinion and it is universally hated since people assume they come from my father because no black person thinks like that. My father would make Pat Buchanan look like a whimp really but my mother is the one who made me so opinionated.
