What will it take to convince black Americans to get off the Democrat plantation that has been keeping them economically enslaved by patronistic policies.
When will the majority of blacks get that the Democrats have a financial and political interest in keeping them under the belief they are disenfranchised.
With few exceptions outside of entertainment and sports, successful black men and women have cast aside the notions that the Democrats have been selling them for years. You can't be successful, regardless of your race, if you believe you are not 100% as worthy and capable to compete then anybody else of any other race.
I was doing some research last night on Sharpton's assualt on the Jews, considering he's going to be a keynote speaker on the DNC convention, and I landed on Tom Metzger's (Mr. White Aryan Resistance)website.
I had a big chuckle when I realized he does the SAME thing to ignorant whites that the Democrats and the NAACP/CBB do to blacks in this country. They keep them ignorant, they keep them filled with hate, and they blame other people for their problems. The same thing! Hey, it worked for the Nazi's.
On the "slow and steady" side, the continued growth of a black middle class combined with immigrant black groups from Africa and the Carribean is already shifting things slowly toward the Republican Party. On the "quick and dramatic" side, I think it would tike a small group of well-known and respected blacks -- a Bill Cosby or Eddie Murphy is probably too old. Guys like Cris Rock, Michael Jordan, or a high-profile rapper could probably pull it off. Basically, they need to hear the message coming from the inside, from someone that they trust, in a way that can't be attacked as "selling out". I'm not holding my breath for the latter. Bill Cosby has been making some noise lately but he's (A) keeping it non-partisan and (B) it's too little too late for him. Had he said that stuff when his show was a hit...
