The liberal Democrat's bigotry, even hatred, of those holding different ideologies to theirs is becoming increasingly palpable. In fact, it has become just downright vicious. Black Americans who have left the Democrat plantation are no longer "black" according to Democrats. Yuck! I can almost taste the bile. In a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Op/Ed piece, Justice Clarence Thomas was said to be black but 'with an asterisk' ..meaning he's only a pretender and not really black. Justice Thomas, a conservative, has had to weather racial slurs from Democrat black Americans and Democrats in general for years. Democrats consider it bad enough to be white and conservative. But, if one is intelligent, black and conservative, they consider it a personal attack.
Now that Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele, a conservative Republican black American, has decided to run for the U.S. Senate, Democrats have become spitting mad!
Liberal Democrats hated it enough when Steele was the running mate of Maryland Republican Governor Robert L. Ehrlich. Democrat Maryland State Senate President Mike Miller Jr. even called him "an Uncle Tom". Then, the liberal and most-intolerant Baltimore Sun gleefully joined Miller's racism when it wrote that Steele "brings little to the team but the color of his skin." How's that for liberal "broadmindedness"? The usual and to-be-expected Democrat tactic of "if you can't destroy the message, ruin the messenger" was in full play.
Note: Unfortunately for the Democrats, the Lt. Governor has proven his intellect, courage and mettle. One of the things Democrats hate more than conservative Republican black Americans are conservative black Americans who are extremely capable. They patently detest these people!
Liberal and leftist demonstrators against Steele's Senate run are again pelting him with Oreo cookies, an unmistakable inference that Steel is "black on the outside and white on the inside". Frankly, black Americans are only "tolerated" by the Democrat Party even if they are Democrats, and then just barely. Even black Democrat Maryland Delegate Salina Siler joined the fray, when she said of Steele: "Because he is a conservative, he is different than most public blacks, and he is different than most people in our community. His politics are not in the best interest of the masses of black people." She also called him an "Oreo cookie". Nice mouth, Ms. Siler.
Question: Have you ever noticed it's the Left that regularly uses the phrase "the masses"? There is no room for individuals or creative thought in the Democrat Party.
In order to attempt to block (if not stop) Steele's run for the Senate, liberal and leftist blogs are now providing a litany of slurs against Steele on a regular basis. These include (as was recently used by the liberal 'mainstream press' against Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice) pictures that are doctored to make Steele appear demonic. And of course, the liberals' ever popular throwing-of-Oreo-cookies attack-mode tactics continue.
Question: Don't you find it of interest that the Republican Party supports and promotes able people, regardless of their race, and that the Democrat Party doesn't? I do.
The ongoing fear of the Democrat Party is that the majority of its black constituency may one day actually wake up from its leftist, Kool-Aid induced stupor and become sober again. If that happens, the current Democrat Party is finished. With nothing more than "we hate Bush" as its mantra (they still don't seem to realize President Bush isn't running for a 3rd term), and no policies for the country, the Democrats are devolving into a whining, racist, anarchist group of petulant children, demanding that we listen to them even though they have nothing viable to say.
The "terrible twos" virus is still running rampant throughout the Democrat Party. Most of them seem to be infected, and it seems most of them don't want to get well.
So, as always, one age-old question remains: "Do we want adults or mean-spirited childish bullies as our leaders?"
I know my answer.
The majority of the bigotry and hatered towards blacks has it's very roots in the democratic party. They "help" the "colored" people for one reason only. They seed the population with money and lies, and they gather the fruit, the vote.
LBJ's Great Society had but one goal, paraphrased, "we give them this and they will vote democrat for the next 100 years."
How do you stand it?

Condi keep saying "No" but she won't do a Sherman Statement. There is hope yet!
I can too. But it has nothing to do with African heritage--which is honorable--and everything to do with the Left and the Democrat Party--which is not.
True - the only difference now is that the Dims have become so unhinged by their rage at and hatred of anything conservative that they've become sloppy and careless about hiding their bigotry. And the media just cheers them on and tries to cover up the worst behavior.
This is communism on steroids.

It is very scary, and it is pereating our system of government. Just look at what the LEFTIST ACTIVIST JUSTICES ON THE SCOTUS and doing and GETTING AWAY WITH!!!!
Just for openers.
It's so transparent when any successful black conservative is called an Uncle Tom. Yeah, right, OJ is black and needs a brother's help, but Condi Rice is worthy only of dirision. Somebody is getting fooled big time.
It looks like black conservatives after all these years still have to ride in the back of the bus.
Unfortunately, blacks are not allowed to know what the word Communism means. Their so called leaders keep them in the dark.
Black communities so remind me of Orwell's "Animal Farm."
